3rd Gen Favorite Attack Animation?

i loved leaf blade, muddy water, auaura beam, and tri attack. but leaf blade would have to be my favorite. the way they all moved the same direction and really quick too. it was awesome. and the slash that showed after it, that was really cool

Cosmic Power is my favorite 3rd gen animation, but for actual attacks - definitely Thunder. *-* It looks incredible.

i think the coolest is dizzy punch, FLY LITTLE BIRDIES FLY!!!

I really like the animation for thunder, since its all dark and quiet and then BAAM!!

I am a big fan of Ice Beam's animation. I love how you can see the crystals.

Flamethrower, thunder, extreme speed, Fire blast, Surf, sky uppercut, hyper beam, hydro pump are the ones that come to my head.

If i head to choose only one:
Flamethrower Burn baby Burn (i love fire)

Volt Tackle, and thunderbolt.
They look super badass, but I like thunderbolt better.

I thought Fire Blast was awesome, especially in Pokemon Stadium (I know that's not Gen III.

Another great one was Aurora beam! It looked so pretty :3

I agree with anyone who said Aurora Beam. It was so pretty in Gen 3 :3

Leaf Blade, Thunder, Thunderbolt and Muddy Water are my favourite ones :3

For the handheld games, I really like Thunder. The look of those clouds swirling, and then the huge lighning strike is amazing.

In Pokemon Colosseum, basically all of the attacks looked awesome, but I'd have to say flamethrower looked sick! The Pokemon charges up and releases this huge beam of flaming napalm. The moves looked a lot more wimpy in XD. I don't know why GameFreak changed them, but I do like XD's Ice Beam. It's this giant spiky rod of ice that grows and shoots towards the foe.

Thunderbolt always looked amazing to me. As a kid, and even now. I don't know why, but it just looked so powerful!
You always expect it to do a ton of damage to Water-Types, and it does. (Even to bulky Pokémon like Walrein!)

Another favorite of mine was Aurora Beam. It had it's own background, and the beam was very beautiful indeed! I can't say if they looked better in the further generations because I don't quite remember how they look like :o

I bet many people agree with me super power

Fire Blast, Recover, and Hyper Beam were all really cool for me, at least. In future generations, the Hyper Beam didn't have the multicolored particles, which I really liked. A similar instance of that was Ice Beam, where they changed it from the crystal particles to a straight beam. Disappointing...

With the Recover orbs, I could always feel that sense of "Gahhhhhh" everytime someone used it. And that rising sound effect just was icing on the already awesome cake.

And Fire Blast has always been amazing. Having a giant Kanji symbol that says "FIRE" when you use it is just wicked.

Leaf Blade's animation is pretty epic. Always loved it. The blades slashing up and down was always fascinating. Close second is Steel Wing. I liked how they combined Wing Attack with a Steel type move's sheen.

hand down dragonbreath and thunder. Shock wave is pretty cool too. I also felt like dragon breath looked more like flamethrower than flamethrower did [just throwing that out there].

Thunder or Muddy Water. Though I haven't seen every move to fairly judge :P

Gosh this is tough, they're all so nice and a huge upgrade from the second generation. I guess I always really admired the artwork in Sheer Cold, so that's definitely one of my top picks. Psychic and Thunder are up there as well, and to round out the top five I'll throw in Solar Beam and Tri Attack! n__n;

I loved the animation of Superpower because it look so cool when it seemed like your pokemon was lifting the earth!
