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

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.

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...

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)

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.
For those of you who aren't total idiots, You'll probably know me from Netbattle. Yes it is the one and only Vash the Stampede, I was going to post to some pathetic whiner complaining about how much life sucks. Reality check... LIFE ALWAYS SUCKS! For those who don't know me, well I don't care about you. But i won't mind crushing children's ideals on pokemon with my totally sarcastic views on life. Some of you may be wondering "Why does he call himself 'God the stampede?'", simple I AM GOD!
On a side note I realize some of you may grow to hate me, or even hate me now. Please continue for your opinions of me matter as much as a hill of **** to anyone who matters and since no one but ME matters thats no one.
Hmmm alittle bit about myself.. Well.... I'm one of a dying breed. That is the Netbattle Troller. Most of you inbred losers'll come to realize this if my post of truth doesn't get me expelled from this place. I also hate morons. Oh and Brazillians for various reasons to numerous to mention in one post. Well I'm not going to continue to rant and rave about how much I'm better than 95% of you drones. We'll see what happens in the next few days.

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.

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.

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....

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.

I'll be gone July 19-25 at camp.

Sounds like a Kirby game, imo. =\

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

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.

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