6th Gen Show ya moves!(Favorite move animation)

With the 3DS and X & Y, moves have become more lively and some even start to make sense(IDK how Gen 5 Wring Out looks like what it's suppose to -_-) and some look very epic. Anyway, What's your favorite move animation?

I love Phantom Force's animation. I love how the Pokemon simply disappears the reappears behind it's opponent to ambush. I also love Hyper Beam's animation and also to how it sounds.

I love when Rayquaza uses hyper beam.

Best move animation in the game has to be Retaliate, in fact Marriland even acknowledged that after a Sawk used Retaliate on his Pokemon he said he wanted to teach a Pokemon the move solely because of the animation. Really funny, but yeah the animation is a huge step up to what it was in 5th Generation.

Also, Brave Bird. It got way cooler in this game. So did Flash Cannon and Dragon Pulse.

Energy Ball gets a mention as well, the sound effect accompanying it is even better than in the last two generations.

to me the funniest animation would have to be gyro ball on steelix. also Oblivion Wing is just awesome in my opinion.

quite enjoy RockSlide ln 3D.

MegaCharizardY using flamethrower is pretty damn cool though

Dragon pulse or Hyper beam for sure.

Dragon pulse alone looks overpowered .... even if in certain cases its not.

I really like Fusion Bolt :3

Tail Whip, because it gives pokemon the ability to Twerk.

I kind of like Grass Knot. The whip sound is amusing.

"I don't think so, opponent!" *cracks grass whip* "Take that!"

I love watching the Smack Down animation. Watching the Pokemon drop down and then hearing that "Squish!" sound is funny!

i have not seen many because i have neglected to get x or y yet but i have seen some and so far oblivion wing is my favorite

Retaliate is my favorite. That samurai feel is just epic~ And Subtitute. When my friend first used it against me, I couldnt help but laugh so hard at the giant version of the usual dino doll used xDD Too cute~ But Hawlucha's Flying Press animation just takes the cake.... xDDD TOO FUNNY

Retaliate - Reminds me of Kill Bill for some reason, and I really love that. Haha

Dragon Pulse - Especially from Hydreigon. This thing looks so, so, so BEAST!

Fissure - YOUR OPPONENT EVEN FALLS THROUGH THE GIANT GAPS IN THE FLOOR! THAT'S AWESOME!

Eheheh, sorry for the caps on the last one, but yeah, those are definitely my top three of favourite move animations in no specific order. ^^

I had a feeling they were going to make the Substitute doll appear big in X/Y since they did that in the 3D console games like Battle Revolution, although I have yet to see it being used in X/Y. It's funny that I once thought the doll was going to be small again like in the pre-3DS era games.

Also, Venoshock's new animation is really epic. Way cooler than its old animation imo. I love how Earthquake now actually shows the rocky ground shaking, Bulldoze even has a similar animation.

Thunder is one of my favorites. I also like Gyro Ball because it looks so stupid on Pokemon like Steelix.

I really like Power Whip, Retaliate, Calm Mind, Flash Cannon, and Gyro Ball.

The silhouette thing with Power Whip looks really cool, especially against that fresh green background.

Retaliate, as mentioned earlier in the thread, looks awesome with that samurai effect.

Calm Mind is very serene-looking, and perfectly captures what I imagine the attack to be like.

Something about Flash Cannon just looks really cool. I don't know, the thin beam of gathered light just looks cool to me.

And Gyro Ball is silly! I love the spinning, haha! I guess I can say the same for Whirlpool and Sand Tomb, though I don't think the spinning was as fast as Gyro Ball.

Seismic Toss and Draco Meteor are awesome. I freaked out when I saw my Pokémon get thrown over the Earth ahah.
Brave Bird is sick too. It's so intense to watch your Poke fly at super speed to annihilate the opposition.

I'm still not very far into either my X or Y version (5th gym in Y) but Calm Mind and Lava Plume stand out to me so far. Some of the move animations look a little "rough around the edges", though - namely ones like Agility.

Explosion is best for me...
