Talk:Moves not in the Pokémon games

Shouldn't this be merged into Anime move errors? --electAbuzzzz 16:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Well it's not like they're errors exactly, just moves that you can't use in the games. TTEchidna 18:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

What, no mention of Rocket Punch? --Shiningpikablu252 18:22, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Yet the move errors article has a full section about Thunder Armor... --electAbuzzzz 18:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

They want a TCG Section for that page, but that would take hours of research and planning for it. ^Moldy_Orange 18:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know EVERY move yet, but it's a start. ht14 22:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd suggest a separate "TCG-exclusive moves" page for that. And yeah, it would take for-fraggin'-ever... --((Marton imos)) 20:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Do you think we should mention the "attacks" that Jessie "used" on Seviper in A Tail With A Twist? One or more of them that James named were made-up. Taromon777 22:29, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Uh, no he didn't. He named Fury Swipes and Megaton Kick (Megaton Kick is the japanese name of Mega Kick, kinda like how Mary told Fluffy to use Speed Star).

Final Smash

Should we add these moves and other moves from Melee/SSB? ht14 01:28, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me --Manga-in-a-bottle 10:58, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Its just a combination of SolarBeam, Fire Blast, and Hydro Pump, with a different name. It probably shouldn't be added. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 11:07, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

What about Jigglypuff though? ht14 20:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

And Lucario? ^ht14 20:05, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

How is Triple Finish different to Ice Jet? --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 20:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Well...isn't it kinda obvious? Triple Finish is 3 different moves (see above), while Ice Jet is different (Ice Beam, Aqua Jet)... ^ht14 20:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

It's still a combination of all three. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 21:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, now I get what you're saying. Ice Jet is a true mix, while Triple Finish is comprised of 3 Pokémon doing an attack EACH. ^ht14 21:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Going to take off the sortable table for now

It's glitching up every time I sort a column. ~Toastypk - ^Loom. 01:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

TCG Moves

Okay, surely we can't have that table. Cover all moves and it'll be far, FAR too big. The vast majority of moves seen in the TCG aren't from the games, and there are...there must be well over 4000 cards in English alone. Cipher 12:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Lucky guess, 4451 in English, including reprints. ^Moldy_Orange 14:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Then this section CANNOT exist, surely. Never mind "far, FAR too big", it'd take up half of Bulbapedia. Cipher 18:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Redirect

Why is there no redirect for "moves not in the pokemon games"?? and maybe the TCG bit should be sorted alphabetically in different pages. The page is goona get WAy tooo big,--Wowy 06:28, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Redirect made. And my two cents on the TCG one, can't we just make the table collapsible? Possibly break the table by sets and then collapsible, or make a "List of TCG only Moves" page, and have this page give some small detail, then link to the new page? - Kogoro | Talk to me | 06:45, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Ice Jet - Removed?

I noticed that Buizel's improvised move "Ice Jet" (also known as "Ice Aqua Jet") has been removed. I don't really agree with the removal of this move. Yes it was invented as a Contest Combo-Appeal, but Ash and Buizel did use it against Crasher Wake and his Quagsire in DP083. Since it was used in battle (a Gym Battle nonetheless) should it not qualify to be on this page? - Kogoro | Talk to me | 09:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I second that...it was used in a battle and just because it is a contest-combo it doens't meam it should be taken off...anyway, if its going to be off the page, then someone should take the ice jet redirecting thing off..--Wowy 06:22, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Contest Combos?

I was wondering if this is ok to put in. I remember seeing a Drew vs May episode and Absol combined a Razor Wind with his ally's Dragonbreath, and the announcer was all "Wow what a move! I think I'll call this Dragon Razor Wind!" I would have put it in but I don't know if contest combos count. Any opinions? ~Toastypk - ^Loom. 18:10, 28 November 2008 (UTC) This may be a year too late, but I think he said "Wow what a combo of Dragonbreath and Razor Wind!", or something like that. --Kimori Geckarbor Hinoarashi 18:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Kimori-Hinoarashi

I know it's been asked already...

But seriously. Should we have every TCG exclusive move on this page? If we did, we'd have to make the tables collapsable or on a separate article that links back here. R.A. Hunter Blade 14:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I don't think any of them should be there. They come up with moves, since they probably can't just keep reusing the same general moves over with different energy needs, damage and special effects, as it would probably just confuse players. But it's not as big as the anime coming up with a move, since less people would probably know about it. TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 15:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

They're notable enough if the rest of this page is. We just need to figure out which ones should go on, and which ones shouldn't. R.A. Hunter Blade 17:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I think they should be kept, but I agree that the table for TCG moves should be collapsible cause it's so huge. ZestyCactus 19:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Finger Shake

I personally believe it's a CY's screw-up, amirite? --Maxim 21:20, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Y'know, I was thinking that myself. Especially seeing as "Wag Finger" is literal translation of the Japanese name for Metronome. TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 21:56, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Ice Jet but no Triple Finish

If Ice Jet is in this article, why isn't Triple Finish on here? If Ice Jet is a combination of Aqua Jet and Ice Beam, Triple Finish is a combination of Solar Beam, Fire Blast and Hydro Pump. --Chickasaurus 14:57, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

That's not the same. 梅子^❄_❅ 15:00, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Ice Jet/Ice Aqua Jet is the combination of the moves performed by a single Pokémon at a time while a single Pokémon can never do Solar Beam, Fire Blast and Hydro Pump at a time. Anyway, the point is that, here we include those moves by the combination of which a new move is formed. Triple Finish is not a new move or a combination, its just a thing where 3 moves are launched together, it won't be considered as a combination move like counter shield or thunder armour. --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 15:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm still not sure why not, if the attack "Triple Finish" is one collective term for a combination of Pokémon moves why do the moves listed in this article particularly have to be those used by a single Pokémon. If Triple Finish isn't a move what is it, and if it is just a combination of existing moves shouldn't Ice Aqua Jet be removed too? --Chickasaurus 15:19, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
