Attack Animation

[ßubba]

What attacks look the coolest to you in the anime?

I like sworddance, overheat, and water pulse.

I liked how in season one, Magmar went into the Fireblast and made it into more a Fire Bodyslam.

I really like when Pikachu launched a thunder an rip the ground apart. I remembered when Team Rocket had Delibird and beating Pikachu, but then charged up by present Pika did that holy thunder

Leaf Blade, Melee attacks which are more than one frame, Bullet seed, flame thrower, Magmar's fire blast, more that slipped my mind.

Volt Tackle. Ever since then, Pikachu has never been better. Risk is huge, but of course the writers know this and will ensure that Pikachu will hit somehow.

I personnaly like Psycho Boost and Aeroblast in Pokemon 2000. Looks helluva lot better than Hyper Beam.

Dragonbreath is cool too. Looks more like a green Hyper beam though. Hyper Beam has changed too, and it looks more like a Flamethrower.

volt tackle, the blue volt tackle-looking attack that cranidos used, bullet seed, leaf blade

 

[Dark SpOOn Bender]

Aerial ace always seemed to be a pretty cool attack imo.
Mach punch, leech seed, sky uppercut, and overheat I also liked. Combusken's megakick was also pretty nice.

Water pulse was cool at times...but do you know how many different versions of water pulse there have been throughtout the show? Like 10 different ways on how the attack looks...and it shouldn't even be that great of an attack anyway.

 

[thunderblade12]

^^yeah, and none of those forms of water pulse even closely resembed the games water pulse

 

[ShinyManafi]

Hyper Beam, IMO.
Dragon Rage, Shadow Ball, Water Pulse, Fire Blast are some more I like.

Oh, the fricken irony.

I've always like how Aerial Ace was executed in the series.

 

[pit-fall]

Aggron's Water Pulse looks cool.

 

[larvitar005]

Future Sight looks cool!

 

[ultimate_pokemaster]

Pikachu's Volt Tackle is super cool.
I also like Fireblast and solarbeam.
It was cool when May's Combusken did a Fire Spin ina contest

 

[Pokemon__]

Water Pulse was pretty cool in "Showdown at Linoone."

Holy Christ... I always thought people hated the sparkly CGI and random explosions replacing the original, more plausible versions of the attacks. But nope, according to this thread if it doesn't glow it doesn't go

 

[sandslash_1]

I've always liked pikachu's thunder but that's just me lol and yeah that's about it i'd say o and maybe some of skitty's attacks.

Actually, Pikachu's electric attack got the treatment(at least the computer drawn attacks) making them look better. At least that is better. Although Swift is a little over-the-edge in CG. Shadow Ball aswell.

[spoil]Piplup's Whirlpool really looks off with 2D characters.[/spoil]
