    While in-game pokemon can only learn moves from eligible source and follow the programming that intent for the game. Compare in the anime, pokemon could learn a move that were impossible or can't learn naturally or thru TMS such as Bulbasaur use Gust which not possible in the game (unless you count that as hacking). How do you feel about this? Is it just fine in your opinion or downright not right that the writer of the anime make several rule bending flaws?
     
    I suppose that was an early part of the anime, so it was not following all the rules of the games, such as replicating moves in a different way, maybe? (I don't know)
    Kind of like in the first part of Yu-Gi-Oh, where they put so many made-up rules, kinda like Machine monsters couldn't be destroyed in battle or something.

    Nowadays, I usually suspect they are actually errors, but can't say for certain they are not deliberate.
     
    Wasn't Gust, it was Whirlwind. That was a dubbing error, by the way. You can see the moves improvised section on Bulbapedia for more information on that. I feel most moves not able to be learn are just errors in the anime, or some are not, and just given to make the Pokemon "unique." And I'm indifferent. The anime and games are different mediums from eachother, so a move that Pokemon can't learn via game, but did in the anime barely bugs me.
