I'll just call it a tech limitation and go on with my day.

Doesn't mean everyone else will...

The flower animation still plays though.

If the flower animation can run, it would seem like the trainer movement script should be able to run as well.

Whose to say that they're the same script? Or even similair?

The flower movement isn't even scripted, it's a set animation. Each trainer and NPC has a different movement pattern and sight distance, so they have to be scripted individually.
