Nescientist (talk | contribs) (→Trivia: it isn't notable on Rollout cause it's Ice Ball specific; +"virtual"; idk if it's super notable (or even accurate), but it's apparently interesting to many, so I personally see no reason to remove it; it's (briefly) noted at Shuckle, too) |
(→Trivia: Still, this is unnecessary and ridiculous. To quote staff member Force Fire in Shuckle's revision history (diff # 2445690): "We are not a strategy guide. This is all that needs to be said.") |

* Though in the games, Ice Ball makes contact, the anime portrays the move as a projectile that does not involve the user and target making physical contact. A similar situation occurs with {{m|Petal Dance}} and {{m|Grass Knot}}, both of which have anime depictions that contradict the fact that they make contact in the games. | * Though in the games, Ice Ball makes contact, the anime portrays the move as a projectile that does not involve the user and target making physical contact.

**Conversely, the opposite is true for {{m|Sky Attack}}, which does ''not'' make contact in the games, but does so in the anime. | **Conversely, the opposite is true for {{m|Sky Attack}}, which does ''not'' make contact in the games, but does so in the anime. |
