Anime =! Games

Ok so this is a branch off of that other pokemon topic (>>23475660) . What I hate the most when discussing pokemon logic is when someone says something to the effect of "I saw on the anime..."

Since when did anime canon = game canon? This really annoys me. Especially because they seem to be picking and chosing what they want to make sense. For instance, they can say "pokebals shouldn't be used up because in the anime, they return to the trainer's hands) yet in another anime discussion people are like "lol thunder armor." It just really annoys me.

I mean, why do people look to the anime for answers when we're discussing the nuances of the game universe? They are two very different things with different rules to their world.
