Anime move errors: Difference between revisions

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, occasionally Pokémon know moves they cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.
