It most likely was, but Cyndaquil's case is especially interesting because Flame Wheel was readily available, yet we only saw it use it in late DPP.Yeah, I realized that after I had already typed out the message LOL. But still, you have to remember there were a lot fewer Fire type moves back in the day; in fact, Charmander for instance could only learn Ember, Fire Spin, and Flamethrower for Fire type moves (and Ash's happened to know all of them.) I wonder if Charmander and Cyndaquil knew Flamethrower first though because it was the easiest to animate?
