Sharpedo can learn earthquake... That I find a bit odd.

Hitmonchan uses its fists in fighting, so i imagine its legs would serve only for moving, not anything else, same with Hitmonlee's arms; serve no use in battle.

Well, apparently not. XD

Hitmonlee learns Brick Break, Poison Jab, Rock Smash, Strength, Mach Punch, Vacuum Wave, Bullet Punch, Focus Punch, and Sucker Punch. All of which either have reference to the user's hands in either the move's name or description.

Hitmonchan learns Low Sweep (which can be argued is not done with his legs), Bulldoze, Hi Jump Kick, and Low Kick. Most of which explicitly reference the user's legs. The only one that doesn't is Low Sweep, but it's heavily implied.

Ya know that one pokewalker route that you could get a while back with Muchlaxes that knew explosion? That gave me the wrong impression. Like beaned-up Muchlax or something.

Scizor- Steel wing, Roost (Yes it has wings, but you can't fly unless you were in Gold... and was transferred from red, blue, or yellow.)
Blazekein- Brave bird, feather dance (bird yes, fly no. Brave bird is an ariel move, and don't ask about the feathers. Not good.)
Sneasel/Weavile- Surf, Whirlpool (Who taught you to swim? Learn Waterfall instead, will ya?)
Magmortor- Focus/fire/thunderpunch (no fists, just guns)
Probopass- Power gem ( same reasons why Blazekein shouldn't learn featherdance- where does it come from? Not good) (ok, from it's nose. Sneeze)

I'm sorry, but these make no sense.

Magmortar has hands, they retract into the cannons (like Megaman)

Power Gem is a Special Attack...it doesn't necessarily need a source.

Scizor with no Steel Wing? What?

And one could argue that Blaziken is the bravest bird of them all!

Is it just me, or does the fact that the Elemental Monkeys all learn Fling just a little subliminal dirty humor? The Japanese are known for it, and it wouldn't be the first time it happened in pokemon

lickylicky and munchlax learning explosion. how does that happen? eating to much?

Actually, only licklicky knows explosion; munchlax learns selfdestruct instead.

Noe for the fridge horror: Look at self-destruct's japanese name and imaging how munchlax would use that move.

self desturct in chinease means self destruction

yeah, but you should look at the Japanese name, not the Chinese :3

What still bothers me is Golurk that learns fly. Or Pidgey and all other tiny birds, just look at the smosh video to see how stupid that is.

Well Golurk is a ghost type. And that makes it learning Fly make sense as Ghosts do tend to float and Golurk is big enough to carry a passenger on its back.
