Did any of you make this assumption? If you remember Ash's Charizard from the anime, it used the move Seismic Toss against Blaine's Magmar (the first time it used this attack). HOWEVER, if you check Charizard's learned moves from TMs now in Gen V, Charizard learns Sky Drop. Basically Charizard in the anime MAY HAVE used Sky Drop but at the time Seismic Toss seemed to be the best way of describing it. Yet in the anime when Charizard used Seismic Toss, the opponent Pokemon were unable to fight back while in Charizard's grip, which is EXACTLY what Sky Drop's description states, that the attack is two-turned and the opponent is unable to attack/fight back while carried up into the sky.

Yeah that sounds to be a more precise description of the move that Charizard uses, rather than the Seismic Toss. I always pictured Seismic Toss to be a more physical version of Night Shade, yet on the anime it never looked like it.
