Differences between the Pokémon games and anime: Difference between revisions

* Occasionally the anime shows [[Anime move errors|Pokémon using moves they cannot learn in the games]].

** However, some of these cases may be attributed to a translation error or a misinterpretation. Examples include Ash telling Pikachu to use "electric attack" when he could just mean to use ''an'' electric attack, or Pokémon using basic attacks like Tackle or Headbutt simply because they are just simple attacks.

* Pokémon can sometimes use a technique that normally would not affect the enemy in the games, notably with {{AP|Pikachu}} who has been able to affect {{type|Ground}}s with Electric attacks, which it can't do in the games.

* Like people, Pokémon can be worn out from constant battling and eventually collapse from exhaustion. However, in the games, a Pokémon that runs out of {{PP}} in every move can faint from the [[recoil]] damage of {{m|Struggle}}.
