Possible errors/faults in the anime.

There was this episode at Cerulean City were Team Rocket was blasted of from inside the gym and the 3 of them got launched from a 6 Foot Diameter Tube towards the sky.

I was like WTF because for water to have that power it would shatter the tube instantly.
 
another thing i have noticed is.......
pokemon normaly only know 4 moves at a time

Überchu knows-----thunder, Iorntail, thunderbolt, volt-tackle, tackle, quick attack, slam,
and 2 attacks that don't exist..... "Thunder Armor", "Volt Tail"
 
Like he said, the legendary god pokemon stories are very inconsistent and dont make any sense together. I also dont like how there are more than one species of legendary pokemon (There is more than one Articuno, Mew, etc), albeit they are rare but I think there should be only one of each.

I mean can anyone make a coherent mythological analysis of the pokemon mythos by using all of the legendaries?

Up until Pokemon Johto I have a feel for what's going on (whiel it's still a stretch) but now, on the DPP series its mostly WTF
 
Um, I know that in a really early episode of Pokemon, when Ash meets Brock, Brock tells a story about his childhood, mentioning that his mom died.

Then years later, an episode airs with Brock's mom as one of the characters. And no one seems to notice! o.O

Thats the one I was going to say. I couldnt tell if it was done on purpose because TR can be pretty dull.
 
In the 1st movie commentary, 4Kids said they didn't notice the mistake at first, but decided to keep it to make Team Rocket look stupid. They never mentioned that they got Pidgeotto/Pidgeot wrong, so I suppose they never even noticed that mistake :/

That's only in the 4Kids dubbed version. In the Japanese version Brock's mom never died: she abandoned the family like Brock's dad.
Unfortunately for 4Kids, their decision came back to haunt them: they never anticipated that the Japanese writers would bring back Brock's mom.

So, I do not really count that as an error in the anime.

Oh, I just remembered an other mistake.
According to the Trainers Choice in the episode "A Fan With a Plan" Arbok evolves into Seviper. NOT!

It's pretty ironic how 4Kids usually censor out deaths, but then add a death in only to find out they're actually alive XD
 
Maylene's Machoke is the same color as a machamp. Machoke is purpley blue.
 
Let's see... Pikachu's attacks, for one. Electric attacks don't do any damage to Ground-types, yet how did Pikachu hit Roark's Onix and cause it damage? Brock's Onix was an exception; it was doused with sprinkler water...

And then there are countless coloring problems, like I've noticed that they forgot to put Gardenia's and Jessie's black shirts on a couple of times. o.o That scared the heck outta me... *shudder*
 
In the "Team Rocket Disbands?!", or whatever it was titled, episode, Seviper hit the Shiny Metagross with... Some sort of Poison-Type Attack. Same as Pikachu and Electricity on Ground-Types, zero-effectiveness moves can still cause harm in the anime.

I'm currently in the middle of watching the anime all the way through. I've just arrived at the Kanto Battle Fronteir arc (season 8). I've noticed so many mistakes throughout the course of the show.

Most recently, during the episode where Ash battles Agatha at the Viridian gym..He mentions to her that he "just" finished in the top 8 at the Indigo League. Then, in the next episode, I believe Max mentions Ash's top 8 Indigo League finish as well..Even though Ash had "just" finished in the top 8 in the Hoenn League, not the Indigo League.

There really are way too many mistaken Pokemon in the dubbed version.
My absolute favorite (already mentioned) was during the Advanced Generation arc, when the eyecatcher in the middle of an episode says that Arbok evolves into Seviper.

I haven't watched that episode in a while, but are you sure he didn't mean by "I just got in the top 8" as "I barely got in the top 8"? Kind of like that?

Oh yeah, Arbok evolving into Seviper is hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ry3riB4jh8&fmt=18 but I remember when I just got back into Pokemon and I must've watched that episode, I believed Seviper evolved into Arbok and presumed Jessie's had evolved XD

Haha! Yeah the Arbok into Seviper bit really is great.

As for the Battle Frontier episode I mentioned, I was kind of talking about how Ash mentioned the Indigo League to Agatha, and not the Hoenn League. I just thought it was kind of weird that Ash brought up the Indigo League, even though that should've been a long time ago. However, it's probably just a dub mistake haha.

I would much rather watch the show subbed..but I can't find it anywhere.
 
When Ash battles brock for his first badge, in the second time Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to attack Geodude, it faints in one attack! it isn't any super effective attack! and when Ash saves Pikachu, Ho-Oh appears in a 3D Motion!! have you ever noticed it???
 
Just from glancing at the banner I've remembered that Conway's Slowking is bigger than him and cannot talk (right?!) - yet in the second movie, a Slowking is much smaller and can TALK. It's more of a contradiction than anything... But the talking Slowking creeped me out unimaginably .
 
In the first pokemon movie(I think), one of the characters had a pidgeot, but he kept calling it a pidgeotto.
 
I recall a fault from the Pichu short on the 3rd movie; Pikachu was meeting the other pokemon who were popping out from behind the tires. A Voltorb popped out and said "Electrode!"​
 
"Oh no, Magneton's Bubblebeam --"
Need I say more?
I think my personal favourite will still always be the guy who does whatever the computer says: "Finish it off with False Swipe!" Bloody modern technology, eh?
