In the First Pokemon movie, on the screen Team Rocket refer to Scyther as 'Alakazam'

Granted, though, Team Rocket had been roaming through the castle and wouldn't have seen any of the other trainers' pokemon, and the images were changing every five seconds, so a mistake or two is understandable.

When Ash first meets Morrison Brock says there is a month to go before the Pokémon League, but at the end it says there's only 2 weeks to go, I doubt a single Pokémon episode spans 2 weeks!

Just another guy
a lot of the time when ash remembers receiving pikachu he is shown getting it in his regular clothes. actually he was in his pyjamas. this has happened several times, including in the 4th movie.

My favorite is pikachu beating Roxanne's Geodude with Thunderbolt. Brock's Onix was doused in water the only reason it worked. (apparently)

In DP 145 A rivalry to Gible on they didn't dub over trapinch's voice so the jap voice still sounded.

In Mewtwo Returns , Meowth's clone says "Nya" instaed of "Meow."

Pikachu beat Geodude with a close range THUNDER attack. They gave a reason, it was so powerful that Geodude couldn't handle it and got hurt. Think of it this way, a ThunderPunch from a Machamp should have an effect on a Diglett if it was real life. That's what the anime tries to do, represent the Pokémon world in a cartoony way

What do I do now?
I'm surprised no one else has pointed out the error in the Charizard flashback episode a few weeks ago. Back when it was showing Ash being trapped in that ice cave, it showed Pigeot, not Pigeotto, which is huge, b/c I mean....Pigeot is freaking huge, at least Ash's was when it evolved, but in that flashback when Pigeotto got switched, it was so much smaller. I went 0_o "How did that get by the team?"

That's because that is considered spoilers

Brock's Happiny being ridiculously strong, seriously it was OP, it looked like they traded the hp stat with attack.

In Mewtwo Returns , Meowth's clone says "Nya" instaed of "Meow."
Actually, Meowth in Japanese is Nyarth. There's a lot of untranslated Pokemon cries in the Anime. Count them to win a NOTHING!

"Tru Blue Swablu" is the longest span for a pokemon episode, I believe. The events lasted long enough for Team Rocket to build a treehouse while they waited to strike.

When Tyson's metagross used hyperbeam Brock called it solarbeam. Also when Ash's Staraptor was using close combat on Paul's Honchcrow, Brock said it's super effective since it's a dark type. It's also flying so that's wrong.

Harley's Ariados used Shadow Ball in New Plot, Odd Lot!
Damos's Baltoy and Claydol used Shock Wave in Arceus and the Jewel Of Life.
Kricketune used Bullet Seed in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Swanna used Blizzard in Crisis at Ferroseed Research!

Bulbasaur used Whirlwind in The Ninja Poke-Showdown.
Snorlax used Harden in Wheel Of Frontier.
Espeon used Zap Cannon in Second Time's the Charm.

Snorlax used Harden in Wheel Of Frontier..
Have you ever read the Manga? Red's Snorlax used it too. Maybe all the Pokemon (except Bulbasaur) you mentioned are special members of their species? Bulbasaur' s Whirlwind was a mistranslation. Hmph. Hmph hmph.
