I recently found a comment on a move's talk page about how one of the Pokémon was incorrectly labelled as requiring chain breeding. When I fixed it, I noticed that several other Pokémon had missing fathers. Then I started going through various egg moves for various Pokémon, and I was surprised to see the state that our egg moves are in. It seems that move pages generally have the right idea, only listing the most direct fathers (so those that learn it via level up, but not their evolutions unless they too learn it via level up). However, Pokémon pages usually list the evolutions of Pokémon that learn it via level up as well. However, the move pages are not perfect either; I have found that most are missing potential fathers.
Not only that, but we have another inconsistency: Basculin, Shellos and Gastrodon are listed twice on breeding lists on Pokémon pages, but only once on move pages. I feel that since their movesets do not vary, listing them twice is redundant.
The general pattern is that Pokémon pages list too many fathers, while move pages list too few. This must be fixed.
I suggest that we check every single egg move list. We cannot continue to have these inconsistencies and errors on our lists. Now, obviously this is no simple task, and requires a lot of people and a lot of time to do. Which is why I'm posting it here. We need each person to say, pick all moves starting with A and check all their egg move lists, and try and do them all in a month. Not only that, but we need to check each of the Pokémon generational learnlist subpages too (with the obvious exception of Gen I).
