Trubbish existed back then (in-universe), it just hadn't yet been revealed to us (out-of-universe). Or in more technical terms; Retroactive Continuity.

Here's a suggestion:
It is kind of weird that two genderless pokemon like Magnemite can't breed yet what do we essentially get when we pair a Magnemite with a Ditto? Magnemite+Magnemite...I guess Ditto just has special properties..He's such a pimp.
Speaking of which, I wonder how many/which pokemon from later generations were already thought of from the start (gen 1) For example, Ho-oh being in the very first episode of the anime.

Well, I do know that there were originally going to be ~190 Pokemon (the remaining 39 eventually became Gen 2 Pokemon), so quite a few of them were. Also Gastrodon was designed in Gen 3 but was postponed until the Gen 4 games.

How are there multiple Legendary Pokemon? Like Darkrai.
Since the Chanderlure evolution line destroys souls, why haven't they done it to their trainers? (I understand that they may like their trainer, but still :/)

Well, well, we don't know exactly whether there are multiple or not, and in case yes, exactly which Legendaries are unique and which are not. It's a sensitive matter, discussed a lot.
But take this into consideration: many of our real-world mythical creatures aren't meant to be unique. For example, the phoenix is a legendary creature, but it isn't unique.
Everytime the Pokédex says "it is said to", "rumor has it", "it's believed", you'd better ignore it. Especially when it comes to Ghost-types.
After getting the first badge, I went back to route 22 to challenge my rival which I missed out earlier, and he only had a level 9 Squirtle and level 9 Pidgey, even though at Brock's GYM, the board had him listed that he beat Brock. I mean, with two level 9 Pokémon, one of which had a type disadvantage, and with a bad strategy? -I used Charmander against his Squirtle. And he didn't even try to use a Water-type attack, so either his strategy is really bad or his Pokémon don't know any moves that would have advantage against Brock's Pokémon, meaning he would have absolutely no chance to win.

There was a bunch of 4th generation pokemon released prior to the 4th Generation:I remember Gary having an Electrivire and him bragging about how amazing Sinnoh was-so Ash decided to go to Sinnoh.
Apparently Ash takes Brock's Onix on with his Pikachu and somehow defeats it with an electric move...
scratch that,somehow defeats an Onix with a pikachu.

Gameplay and Story Segregation + the people who write the Pokédex entries are not the same ones who program game data, including abilities, moves, stats, etc.

Your character talks, that's indicated a handful of times, but the game doesn't show anything so you can "fill in".
It seems you get the title, but refuse the "position".
I think you actually DO talk in Red.. And on other games too, except the game programmers let you assume what your character said, but you can see by their responses that your character must have said something (such as when Copycat says "What? Quit mimicking? But it's my favourite hobby!", for example.)
And whenever Nurse Joy asks you if you want to heal your Pokémon.. And whenever you buy/sell something.. You also talk. How else would they know what you want?
And in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, you are actually given options as to what to say. And you have pre-defined talks, too (or rather said, thoughts, such as, at the beginning of PMD Red/Blue: "Where am I? ..I feel a pleasant breeze." for example).
