Anyone else remember when the Game Boy was that giant brick that you gave to kids so they'd shut up during car trips? And you couldn't see the screen without a flashlight or the sun? And the batteries only lasted for like 20 minutes? The successor to that thing can render massive full 3D scenes. Holy... crap...

[Dane12]

Which are your favorite Beam attacks? how and why?
example:

Hyperbeam

Use the Normal Serebii Rules and have fun posting

[unstopable373]

blast burn looks like the best to me, Hyper Beam's animation is so bad now, it was great in 2nd gen.

But their all bad anyways, it's pretty much saying "I'm going to try to knock out your pokemon in one hit, but if I don't please feel free to hit me twice, if it does happen, I'm fine with one hit as well"

[TheBattleFrontierAsh1]

Hyper beam
Its just has a lot of power.

[The Imposter]

Please, use this.

OT, Ice Beam had an epic animation in 3rd Gen, and it is powerful. I'm going with it.

[bobandbill]

Sounds like a PokePoll to me, so I'll just punt this to that section by merging with the sticky thread there.

And I use Ice Beam the most but visually I like Solar Beam the best.

magikarprules, please report instead of minimodding.

[unstopable373]

oh I was thinking recharge attacks lol

Ice Beam is the strongest move on there, so......

[Kariris]

Ice Beam all the way!
1. Dragons.
2. Special Attack.
3. Psychic.
4. Trace.
5. Master Ball and Luxurious Ball.
6. Chesto Berry.
7. Exp. Share.
8. Burns.
9. Unova`s Elite Four and Team Plasma`s grunt battle music.
10. The electricity in Chargestone Cave.( I think it`s called like that)

[Dane12]

So rry im not sure what to do with fav stickies

[FireTheAbsolLord]

1. What’s your favorite TYPE?
Ghost-types! I like a interesting battle with them, plus they have nice movepools. Closely followed by Grass and Water-types. I like them for a more relaxing, in-game battle.

2. What's your favorite STAT?
Generally Special Attack.

3. What’s your favorite ATTACK?
Aromatherapy, Surf, Energy Ball, and Shadow Ball just completely and utterly tie for this. All of which just have....a relaxing feel to use. You know?

4. What’s your favorite SPECIAL ABILITY?
Hm. Generally, I'm not one to care about abilities much. Probably Static, because it actually saved me in a nuzlocke once! (Paralized a Skunktank, let me win because the Paralization was working on the Skunktank, so I went first with my Luxio and didn't take damage. If my Luxio happened to faint, I would loose, because my only other Pokemon was a Kadabra.)

5. What’s your favorite POKEBALL?
Premier Ball. It has a pretty sparkle affect, you can't get that many awfully easy (unless you're willing to spend quite a bit of money), and because they have the same chance of catching as a regular Pokeball, it isn't that likely to work.

6. What’s your favorite BERRY?
Oran berries. They aren't that much help unless it's early in-game, but I just tend to like them! And, c'mon, anyone else imagining them tasting really good?

7. What's your favorite ITEM?
Lemonade and Water Stone tie! I really like how Water Stones look, and Lemonade is pretty helpful!

8. What's your favorite STATUS AILMENT?
I like putting the opponent to sleep. It's relaxing, and makes me less nervous.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?
Lavender Town music in Red/Blue! It's creepy, but I adore it! Also the battling Red theme. Isn't it also used for Champion Lance?

10. What's your favorite example of GRAPHICS in a Pokemon game?
My favorite has to be the 4th gen HG/SS graphics. Something about them....but I also really like how the graphics look when your on the bridge to Castela City in B/W. So...3Dish!

[Frog Of Steel]

1. What’s your favorite TYPE?
Fighting.

2. What's your favorite STAT?
Attack/Sp. Attack.

3. What’s your favorite ATTACK?
Metronome. It's also every move.

4. What’s your favorite SPECIAL ABILITY?
Cursed Body. Cool effect and it happens pretty often for me.

5. What’s your favorite POKEBALL?
Pokeballs and Greatballs are always reliable, but I like the Repeat Ball most.

6. What’s your favorite BERRY?
I guess the watmel berry.

7. What's your favorite ITEM?
Fishing rods, escape ropes, repels, digging kit from DPPt. All very practical and important items.

8. What's your favorite STATUS AILMENT?
Burn. 2 great effects-damage and reduced attack.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?
Team Aqua/Magma theme-RSE, Rival Battle-RSE. Gym battle-Firered/Leafgreen. Wild Pokemon battle-Firered/Leafgreen. Driftveil City music-BW. Twist Mountain music-BW.

10. What's your favorite example of GRAPHICS in a Pokemon game?
Shiny pokemon. They usually look awesome.
