Does Roar/Whirlwind bypass protecting moves?

Question

Scenario:
Swampert used protect!
Blastoise used roar!
Absol was dragged out!

Answer 1

Yes as of Generation 6 both Roar and Whirlwind can bypass Protect and Detect.

But in Generations 1-5 they are unable to bypass both Protect and Detect.

It's works I had a battle with my friend a while ago and I was surprised to find that when I used Protect I was sent away when he used Roar :)

Same here. I've done it before in-game.

Answer 2

Looks like in X and Y that was changed, and they now go through protecting moves. Thanks, pwnermewtwo.

In all other Generations they don't go through protecting moves.
