Moot point because those moves get removed upon transfer
Home itself displays move data, AquaticPanic is wondering if it will just display the Legends descriptions or display what they are "properly" meant to be.
Even if we are to assume transfering to SV in the future also resets Movepools to Level, that usually only really is relevant for missing out on tutor or egg moves. Legends Arceus' new moves are all lerned by level-up either way and we don't really have any reason to assume those moves just wouldn't be in SV (Specially considering two odthe new evos are tied to moves only added in that game)
Something I am curious about is how their evos would work in first place.
It'll probably just be retconned to work how stuff like Tangela and Yanma works: Level up while having the move in your moveset
Nothing is confirmed for SV, but moving between gen 8 games requires a move reset.
While it isnt yet confirmed to apply to SV yet, essentially for gen 8 a pokemon will have a separate movesets for each of the gen 8 game, a BDSP one, a LA one, and a "mainline" one that is the SwSh one.
Actually it's not as complicate as you think, because Showdown already applies "move compatibility" to pokemon when a poke wouldnt be able to carry certain moves at same time.
Yeah. I think part of the reason Dexit was done was so that all the content would be available in the game. Despite SwSh technically having less Pokemon than other generations, you are able to catch 99% of the Pokemon available in both games if you have an internet connection and the DLC.
Unpopular Opinion: I'm actually glad that movesets aren't going to carry over. One of my biggest qualms of Pokemon is because of how much legacy content can be transferred to one game to another, making it near impossible to experience a " complete " Pokemon game on cartridge. Complete in the sense of all the ribbons, movesets, Pokeballs, and even the Pokémon themselves cannot be experienced without aid of other games, including ones that were introduced all the way back in Gen 3. If you want to keep track of all the legal combinations, not only does it practically require a guide like Bulbapedia, Serebii, or PokemonShowdown!, but also mandates the latter should you want to play the game with all these literal combinations instead of the cartridge where the game is physically played, since it getting perfect Pokémon with all these combinations is impractical thanks to the insane transfer legacy, especially considering how IVs were so different in the old games. I know a lot of people always argue that cartridge games have the pentagon rule so isn't an issue, but I don't agree. They often hold tournaments that allow Pokemon from older generations, including mythical Pokemon. This means that if you want like Victini with Bolt Strike or Rayquaza with V-Create means you have to go out of your way to find extremley specific events that were only avalible for a limited time for the sake of the optimal teams. If SV were to replace transferred moves with Level Up moves, this would no longer be an issue.
Or you know....they could just not do tournaments without the pentagon. They already have an npc that lets you gain the pentagon at the cost of resetting move sets. Like, literally the way they are doing it here is just taking away stuff from players without gaining anything while ruining legacy stuff that some of us REALLY like. I personally love going out of my way to get old odd moves on mons that they can not get anymore.
Oh wow, didn't know this. Which ones?
Usually it was the more gimmicky, non VGC stuff. Think stuff like Pikachu Cup (this actually had a slight impact with making Electabuzz viable lol). Gen 7 was pretty similar in that respect. XY also actually allowed transfers, which had a HUGE impact because it was the only way to get a lot of important tutor moves such as Hyper Voice for Sylveon, and Sheer Cold Suicune ended up being a terror in Battle Spot Singles too! It was ORAS specifically that banned transfers for its main ladders.
Wouldn't be the first time they've forced people into using something that previously was an option.
In fairness, the moves do exist, they just are temporarily overwritten in another game. But it’s designed to be an equalizer. It’s unfair to one player if they just start playing SwSh now and want to participate in a competition that uses Victini. We people on Smogon know how important moves like Bolt Strike and Blue Flare are valuable on Victini to the point that most of its major sets use those moves and Celebrate and Stored Power as well. Problem is that those moves are only available on Victini that were given out only once at limited time events years ago. It’s not fair for older players to have an advantage over new players just because they were playing longer.
Alola had some Battle Spot seasons such as the Metronome-only season, where the vast majority of Pokemon could only ever get Metronome through either RBY TM35 or the FRLG move tutor, so they pretty much had to allow transfers for that if they didn't want to force everyone into a monotonous Clefable/Blissey/Togekiss team. Sw/Sh later tried its own Metronome-only competition, but those games also reintroduced Metronome as a TM so they could enforce origins without crippling the move's available distribution.
If you can only use marked mons then it doesn't matter those moves are around for official nintendo competitions; therefor as long as they keep requiring that mark, your issue with them is solved. Whereas temporarily overwrittening those moves means I can not use them in pve environment such as the battle tower.
