Talk:Blastoise (Pokémon)

Recent addition.

I highly doubt that's true. The attack move is "Hydro Cannon" so I believe cannon is where the attack comes from. TheBlazikenMaster 23:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree as well. They don't design the sprites based off of what moves can be used. Otherwise "OMG LOOK AT HITMONLEE IT CAN LEARN KICKING MOVES BECAUSE IT'S KICKING IN THE SPRITE!" Its mouth is open, and Hydro Cannon just happens to be coming from that point. There's no special connection. TTEchidna 23:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I have never seen Blastoise using its mouth for Hydro Pump in the anime. But you're right I know you are, I was just unsure if it was good trivia or not so I asked. TheBlazikenMaster 23:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I know you didn't think of it before (me included), but it happened to me once and THEN I realized it. I think the name "Hydro Cannon" is correct, but I think it's to emphatize that is a move EXCLUSIVE to Blastoise, as blastoise is the only Water-type Pokémon with Cannons (remember that Blastoise was the only Pokémon able to learn it).

I've uploaded a screenshot of it that clearly shows what I've said (although for some reason it does not appear yet). The Image is here

I know it's weird that a move called "Cannon" is shot from its mouth instead, but do it for yourselves and trade to Hoenn-based games and it's the same thing, the attack comes out from its mouth! (I don't think it's a coincidence) hfc2X 00:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

That image doesn't prove anything, maybe it appears to you that it's doing it from its mouth, but it's just a sprite, and it looks that way. What I'd like to see is examples of Blastoise using its mouth in the anime. TheBlazikenMaster 00:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The anime will prove you nothing, as there Hydro Cannon does not exist. I know it's just a sprite, but it makes a big coincidence if you look at the attack in ALL Gen III games. I'm not saying that the attack will always come from its mouth, but in GBA games it does.

In Colosseun and XD, Hydro Cannon DOES come out from the cannons, and there you have another thing not shown in the anime... In the anime, Blastoise ALWAYS has its cannons outside its shell, but in the games, the cannons only come out to use Hydro Pump or Hydro Cannon, so don't rely on the anime to prove anything (remember that games DID come out much before the anime, so they still make the rules). hfc2X 00:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually Gary did order Blastoise to use Hydro Cannon in one of the D/P episodes, but I get your point and still think it only looks that way. TheBlazikenMaster 01:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

That's what I wanted to point in the trivia... that Gen III sprites interestingly (and coincidentally) make it shoot from its mouth... maybe someone could point it better than me. (Sorry if I'm not clear, but english is not my native language xD.) hfc2X 01:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, if we're going to use sprites for any moves of any kind, it should be 3-D games, because they atleast TRY to make the moves look realistic (PBR's contact moves actually making contact was a big jump, imo). Sk8torchic 14:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
