View source for Template talk:Inter-gen transfer

== Edit suggestion ==

This template could really stand to identify the left cells as "From" and the right ones as "To", otherwise the format isn't really understandable until you've looked at it for a bit. There's also a fair amount of redundant code. I removed/fixed all the unnecessary bits and added a header row in the table below.

You can just view this page's code and copy that table into this template's code. If you really don't want the From/To row, using the rest will still cut out a fair amount of code, at least. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:36, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
:Time Capsule is a two-way transfer, though, unlike the other. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 16:51, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
::I think a fairly simple solution to that would be to change that cell to say "[[Time Capsule]]{{tt|*|Also transfers from Generation II to Generation I}}". Now that you mention it, though, I suppose Dual-slot mode is also a bit "nonstandard". ...Either way, I still think the table is moderately confusing to read at first blush without any headers.
