What do you mean by "power" exactly?
If you're talking about Ability and Moves, it gets a bit complicated. It seems like in the anime how powerful a Move is depends on how strong the Pokemon is. Now there does seem like some indication that "upgraded" moves are stronger then there weaker forms (like Thundershock, Thunderbolt, and Thunder). Also some moves are over exaggerated how weak or strong they are, like Hyper Beam is made out to be an invincible beam of destruction which can O.H.K. your Pokemon.
As for Abilities, they only seem to exist when they are convenient. A good example is with Ash's Pikachu who has Static which has a chance to paralyze and opponent if the opponent attacks Pikachu with a physical attack. But ALL the times Pikachu has been hit by a physical, it never paralyzes the opponent. Static has only activated two times (that I could find on Bulbapedia) in the entire series, once in AG070 "Balance of Power" paralyzing Norman's Vigoroth and again in DP132 "Evolving Strategies!" paralyzing Paul's Ursaring.
Even Resistance is sometimes ignored, the most famous is Electric-type attacks (not just from Pikachu) damaging Ground-type attacks and Normal-type & Ghost-type attacks damaging each others.
Hi, I've never posted on a Pokemon thread before, but i've been thinking about this topic recently too. I kind of stopped watching Pokemon ever since they got rid of Misty. Compared to her the other girls are just too peppy and... boring. However, I think the real problems are the new voice actors and the animation. Has anyone noticed that in the new episodes some characters, like Jessie and James for example, look like they're like, five? They made the anime look too cartoon-ey. Also, the new VA's don't have the same emotion in their acting that the old ones did. Also, it's never about Ash winning battles and catching Pokemon anymore. In the episodes I have watchedit's all about Dawn and her contests! Pikachu doesn't really do anything anymore either. He just sits silently on Ash's shoulder like a doll. The show is also less serious in general, like they're aiming it at a younger audience. (Sorry, I kind of went on a rant here.) Anyway, back to the actual topic, I think Pokemon should end sometime, but not now. The show's on its way downhill now. I want it to go back a little more to what it was like when it was good. Let it end on a high note. (If you weren't able to tell, I miss the old show. )
