Can a move's BP differ between games in the same generation?
For example in Diamond & Pearl Hypnosis had an accuracy of 70, while from Platinum onward they reset it to 60. Can the same happen to a move’s BP if Game Freak wants it too happen, or would that not be able to happen do to technical things I don’t understand?

This has happened a few times in Pokemon’s history.
Colosseum to XDShadow Rush went from 90 to 55 BP
USUM to LGPEAbsorb went from 20 to 40 BPMega Drain went from 40 to 75 BPSky Attack went from 140 to 200 BPSolar Beam went from 140 to 200 BP
SV pre-2.0.1 to SV 2.0.1+Grassy Glide went from 60 to 55 BP
The LGPE changes were reverted in Generation VIII. Not included in this list are changes made to moves in Legends: Arceus, where the battling system was dramatically overhauled — most moves are so different that it would be easier to list the ones thatdidn’tchange.

Yeah, they probably could. When they make a sequel, they can edit anything they want. Like they Hypnosis scenario you were talking about. ;D
Hope I helped. :)
Well, of course! I mean, Game Freak programs this, and I don’t see why not. They can just change if they need to within generations.
