Ash's Talonflame learning Flamethrower

Ok, I understand the rules about not assuming moves and I admit the moves used by Ash's water and grass-types are a touch too nebulous to really confirm... but I can't understand their being any doubt that Ash's Talonflame used Flamethrower alongside his other fire-types. Flamethrower has had pretty much the same animation since the show began (a continuous stream of fire), there's no other fire-type moves that match that animation (can anyone really argue that it could have been Ember or Fire Blast) and Talonflame used it directly alongside all of Ash's other fire-types who all know Flamethrower.

"A continuous stream of fire" is still a very vague animation description and could be any other fire move that could be animated similarly (Overheat, Heat Wave, Mystical Fire, Incinerate, and Blast Burn have all been animated as a "continuous stream of fire). And the anime have had Pokemon use moves it cannot use in the games, so there is precedence, regardless of Talonflame not being able to learn those moves or the anime being more consistent to which move a Pokemon can learn.--ForceFire 06:13, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
