::No, I mean it is clear which attack it is. It is whatever the trainer says it is. If there is no trainer to command the Poké, then it isn't truly considered a game attack...thus, not Slam, Tail Whip, etc. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 03:15, 24 May 2009 (UTC) | ::No, I mean it is clear which attack it is.

:I wuz asking TTE... but are you saying that when Charmeleon breathes fire in Ash's face, it isn't a Flamethrower, it's just "breathing fire?" So its Tail Whip was really just "hitting Team Rocket with its tail"? I mean, when wild Pokemon use attacks, I could've sworn some of them were named by characters, like Gyarados's Dragon Rage (Gyarados was trying to kill James, its master, after all).[[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 03:28, 24 May 2009 (UTC) | :I wuz asking TTE... but are you saying that when Charmeleon breathes fire in Ash's face, it isn't a Flamethrower, it's just "breathing fire?"

::If a wild Pokémon uses a move, and then somebody says "that Pokémon just used [...]" (as Brock does so very often, or at least did earlier in the series. I didn't watch anything from the end of the Hoenn series to the recent episode with Darkrai and Cresselia), I think that counts. If '''nobody''' says anything about the move at all, then everything is all left up for speculation, and we usually only insert undeniable facts in these articles. | |||
::I think it's clear what we do now. Everybody (except Ghostkaiba) seems to believe that only Psyduck's use of the move should be included in the article, as it was the only one explicitly stated. I think we've reached consensus. ''[[User:Kevin Y|<font color="darkred">Kevin Y</font>]]'' ([[User talk:Kevin Y|<font color="#083c6b">talk</font>]]) 05:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
