Erm... Lava Plume wasn't present in this generation.

For me, it'd be Giga Drain. It's cool to be draining the opponent's health and healing yourself. =D

Yingxue December 15th, 2007 11:00 AM

Anything that combines the offensive and defensive strategies, ie: mudslap.

I love hitting them and reducing their accuracy.

GH_god December 15th, 2007 11:01 AM

I like blaze kick or leaf blade

This is Color and Metal generation. i.e. Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal. Those moves don't exist in this time period.

That said, my favorite move is Metronome! Its so fun because you never know what you'll get! Although when you get something like Splash or Self-Destruct, you get mad.

moon December 15th, 2007 2:11 PM

In this generation, I like Bodyslam. It's fairly strong with the right poke, can paralyze, and i think (but i'm not sure) that it can also make the opponent flinch. Love it.
Oh, and earthquake. For some reason, earthquake felt way cooler in the old generation games...

yomamathecableguy December 15th, 2007 5:30 PM

definitely drill peck or slash.

zel 2.0 December 15th, 2007 6:00 PM

Yeah, why not? Let me see...

For defensive purposes, I like Double Team, well, it's a personal choice, obviously. And for offensive purposes I like Earthquake, it's most of the time on most of my Pokemon (and I like to combine it with other types' moves so I can hit a lot of different types)

mhart54 December 15th, 2007 6:50 PM

I like Metronome too, but i can remember all to well when i used it and got Splash :(

MissMegano December 16th, 2007 10:18 AM

I've always loved swift. I have it on every pokemon of mine that can learn it. It's so versatile and I like the d/p animation.

Avolition December 16th, 2007 10:54 AM

Really? I've always hated Swift. Thought it was weak, etc. It's still cool that it can hit Pokemon using Fly though. My favorites would be... Thunderbolt, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Blizzard. Blizzard owned in RBY. 90% accuracy.

STEELIXMANIAC December 16th, 2007 10:55 AM

I must have forgotten about this earlier, but I do like Rock Slide. Having three piles of rocks dropped on your opponent, and with a 30% chance of flinching them must definitely own.

Avolition December 16th, 2007 10:58 AM

Yeah. Now that you think about it, it sounds like the attack would be deadly in real life. Kinda like Snorlax using Body Slam or Hyper Beam.

EmpoleMew December 16th, 2007 11:00 AM

Wait, Swift can hit a flying Pokemon? Never knew that.
Another favorite move of mine is Ice Beam. Dunno why but it just seems cool. Although it just looks like Ice Ball in PMD....

MissMegano December 16th, 2007 7:34 PM

Yeah, swift can hit flying pokemon. I also believe it can hit pokes using dig or dive, but I'm not so sure if it can in d/p.

I've seen it as weak, too. I just like the idea of hurling stars at my foe. ^,^

I forgot about Ice Beam! I like that one too. I like the sound when you use it.

Sounds like a Kirby game, imo. =\

Jeremy December 16th, 2007 9:24 PM

Well sweeties, it would be the following:
Thunder for it is so satisfying when that attack connects. XD
Ice Beam for I love to make references to Metroid with it.
Attract - Infatuation is awesome. XD
Rollout for Whitney gave it to me because in certain scenarios and with a bit of luck, you're unstoppable. >=D

Also in the color generations, it was any move that would take 2 to 5 turns, like Fire Spin, you can take out any Pokémon regardless how strong it is, as long as your Pokémon was faster enough, and you had the patiences. XD

Skaterzpenguin December 17th, 2007 8:48 AM

I like cutting attacks like cut, slash, fury swipes, and so on...:cool:

El Gofre December 17th, 2007 12:02 PM

Favorite anim? I remember hyper beam lookin cool, otherwise good old EQ

Sora_8920 December 17th, 2007 12:22 PM

For G/S/C? Well, EQ like the person above me said, and like the person above me said again, Hyper Beam.

+Sneasel™ December 17th, 2007 6:11 PM

My favorites are pain split and beat up.

I like pain split because it can really turn the battle around.

I like Beat up because its cool to have every one of your pokemon attack in one turn.

BassFace December 17th, 2007 9:35 PM

Swift could hit Pokemon that used Fly or Dig, but only in Red, Blue and Yellow. Since the second generation games, it's lost that effect, and kind of lost its appeal with me.

Man... those attacks that lasted 2-5 turns really drove me insane in Red. I've been at the receiving end of many a Wrap attack. The good news is that these moves aren't 100% accurate, so there's a chance that you'll be able to actually fight back at some point during the onslaught.

For some reason, I was never really a fan of Hyper Beam. I don't know why. It does a lot of damage, but I'd prefer a more-accurate move that does half the damage and can be used over two turns to do the same amount of damage.

My favourite damaging attacks would be Flamethrower, Flame Wheel and Earthquake. Though I have to admit, Beat Up is extremely fun to use. My sister and I used to have battles in Pokemon Stadium 2 using this move, to see who could knock the other Pokemon out faster just by using this move.

My favourite non-damaging attacks are Double Team, Attract and Rest. Well, Rest has always been my favourite move. I like combining it with Sleep Talk in the second-generation games.

STEELIXMANIAC December 18th, 2007 3:54 AM

Ah yes, I also love Attract (works for cute Pokémon, IMO), and I absolutely love Magnitude. I like trying my luck alot, thank you.

Kiss_Kiss December 18th, 2007 8:56 AM

I CAN PWNZZZ ANYTHING 27HKO WITH SPLASH!!!!!! IT LIKE PWNZZZ
-Sarcasm-
I like Calm Mind, Cosmic Power and Refresh the most, especially Refresh.

Narxbond9 December 18th, 2007 4:50 PM

Aurora Beam and Doom Desire....So pretty. :P

Garmmon December 18th, 2007 6:45 PM

I like Ice Beam. It's a nice move, and then when it hits pretty ice crystals come out as if they're forming a wall in front of the enemy. :3
Or was that Blizzard? Dunno, I like both.
And Thunderbolt. For some reason.

~{Linkin}•Enex December 19th, 2007 5:53 AM

Hdro Pump and Aeroblast... Aeroblast is a concentration of power.

Errr, in 2nd gen? not sure you got the right forum lol

Sora_8920 December 19th, 2007 12:33 PM

Gofre's right. The advanced Forum would be for that. There's no Doom Desire in 2nd Gen.

Narxbond9 December 19th, 2007 6:25 PM

oops my bad lol In that case Aurora Beam and Present

GH_god December 19th, 2007 6:34 PM

my favorite attack is leaf blade

Avolition December 19th, 2007 6:36 PM

Leaf Blade isn't in RBYGSC. =\

Seliana December 19th, 2007 8:55 PM

Hm...I'd have to say:

Aeroblast (pwns all).
Fire Blast
Ice Beam
Petal Dance
Psychic
Confusion
Fire Wheel

Moth0998_au December 21st, 2007 2:41 AM

yer and i like icy wind coz that can attack Pokemons that have used fly especially flying/dragons use it IT OWNS coz its ice and SUPER EFFECTIVE against Flying and Dragon! lol

Halcyon December 21st, 2007 6:24 AM

Splash! lol

My favourites are Swift, Headbutt, Mach Punch, Aurora Beam, Ice Beam and Agility.

Shiny Charizard January 20th, 2008 2:21 AM

Mine is metronome, I always like to guess what attack I'm going to get.

dude120 January 27th, 2008 10:29 PM

aeroblast, sacred fire, thunderbolt, and flamewheel are the best attacks.

Dark Destiny January 28th, 2008 8:30 AM

earthquake
flame wheel
and um
physic on my espeon =)

neonlights February 1st, 2008 10:03 AM

Probably Flame Wheel, Rock Smash and Aurora Beam.
:D

BREAKINGBEN February 1st, 2008 10:20 AM

Flame wheel is the best attack invented, EVER!

Percy Thrillington February 1st, 2008 4:41 PM

Thunder, mainly because it's graphics are deadly, as well as it's power... But it's accuracy is horrible.

Toxic, because it was an amazing move back in the day.

Loto February 1st, 2008 11:42 PM

Earthquake is just.....cool? o_o

Valkyrie90 February 1st, 2008 11:44 PM

My favorite move overall is Night Slash. In R/B/Y/G/S/C it was Hyper Beam. In G/S/C it was awesome because it looked like a combination between Earthquake and Solar Beam ^^ but after they changed the animation in R/S/E I started to not like it as much. I really like Night Slash because it's a stable on my favorite Pokemon, Weavile.
