I disregard the anime completely because it pays no attention to type differences and is completely unbelievable as far as battlan goes. I don't care what level Pikachu is at, he should not be able to beat a champion's Dragonite.
That Dragonite knows I think around ten attacks. He must have had to sacrifice major stat points to get it like that.
Also, Dragonite was weakened already by Ash's other Pokémon. Pikachu didn't do it alone.

Exactly, i just had to bring up the biggest F-ing plothole. if i had a level 255 pokemon like...*shudder* *horrible sinking feeling usually reserved for furries and 4chan* Ash-hole, i'd use it to take over the fricking world. johto would be the official seat of power and where evrryone i like lives, kanto would be where everyone i don't mind lives, hoenn would be where the slaves are and bill cosby would have sinnoh as his rape pit. i forgot to mention, everyone i hate would be left to die of memes/get raped to death in sinnoh.
not to mention i would personally hunt down and stomp every mudkip in the world to ensure a painful death...or at least crippling spinal damage.
Except Pikachu magically gets weaker when Ash not winning easily or even losing is important to the plot! And also the incredibly useful power Pokémon have in the episode that features them goes away when they become just another one of Ash's Pokémon.

Actually what I was talking about was how like his Pikachu can use Thunder on Golems even though they're ground Pokemon and should not be affected.
And when it doesn't affect things, like that one Pokémon League examiner's Graveler, they say it's because they're Rock types, not because they're Ground types.
In the recent anime they follow the rules more, what with the type matchups and the four move limit, but if it makes battles more predictable and Brock (being stripped of any personality not relating to breeding and/or girls, of course) has to narrate what every move's details are when they happen, I'd rather have the old not-make-senseness of Pikachu KO'ing a Rhydon with electricity only to find a Magmar is immune in the same episode.
