Nobody can deny that. Like they barley got character development. Only learn new moves and appear once in a while. Heck it says alot that Dragonite didnt had a PWC match between JN065 and JN109. Dracovish is equally worse. Like Dragonite, Dracovish, Gengar dont really get development in personality since they have been captured by Ash.The strongest Mons are the ones that the plot wants to be. Greninja is leagues above Lucario so it's clear that continued PWC training means nothing in the long run besides this series' narrative
They're badly developed, anwaysy
And let's be honest the team's power depends a lot on whatever is convenient for the writers. I definetly don't think Ash should be able to beat Champions with a team made up solely of pokémon he just caught, no matter how naturally talented they are, at least a few reserves should've been used. For whatever reason the writers became so against reserves, now all of these absurdly strong opponents have to be dealt with the same pokémon, which makes me wonder where the talent ends and where the plot armor actually begins.

Cant disagree with that lol. God that is sad. You were talking about Chloe,right?Still better to me than when your only purpose for appearing is to help with the daily plot and blast off team rocket as your sole source of training.
Conveniently!You mean like the vast majority of things in all Pokémon anime and in almost every fictional work.
I think you might be confused as to what power scaling actually means. It's just a method of determining a character's strenght by comparing it to another character. In a show about battles, it's hard (maybe even impossible) not to have power scaling. Now if you are talking about bad power scaling, then that is definetly not something that started with Kalos, as Pikachu was being defeated by a recently caught Snivy just 1 series ago. I do think Noivern being able to do that much damage to Zapdos was a bit of a stretch, but i don't think the AG vs Gardevoir fight was that absurd, because Diantha was just testing them out, for the most part they were dominating that battle even without ME and Gardevoir wasn't actually knocked out, it just flinched and knelt, which is still a huge accomplishment, but not really comparable to actually defeating a champion.I won't disagree with this, but power scaling has been a thing since Kalos, this series only made it more apparent.
This might be unpopular, but how is infernape stronger than the likes of Lucario?No. Infernape, Charizard and Greninja are even stronger than JN Team.
Most people see Infernape as being relative to Base Greninja, and with Blaze being such an immense power-up for Infernape, it would probably be enough to level the playing grounds against Mega Lucario.This might be unpopular, but how is infernape stronger than the likes of Lucario?
But would it be enough to level the playing field against Aura boosted Mega Lucario.Most people see Infernape as being relative to Base Greninja, and with Blaze being such an immense power-up for Infernape, it would probably be enough to level the playing grounds against Mega Lucario.

That doesn’t really seem like an accurate power scale heck I do think that the JN team members are a lot stronger then you give them credit for.They are not. Pikachu beats Main ace reserves( Sceptile ,Charizard, Greninja etc) who beat Aura powered Mega Lucario who beats other minor reserves( Corphish,Kingler, Hawlucha,Swellow,Gliscor, Melmetal etc) who beat rest of JN team. And rest of JN team only beats reserves that didnt train that much( like Muk, maybe Goodra, maybe Scraggy).
You kinda seem uneducated on the matter, however: In BW Axew and Scraggy were shown on the par with their power. Scraggy was born in BW. In JN Axew evolved into Haxorus and became Champion level.From ( like weak gym level) to JN : Champion level, so in 10 years. What that does that mean? That means that reserves that Ash owns that trained are even stronger than Haxorus according to JN writing. So this has nothing to do with disliking and liking any team. We are not talking about bias here. We are talking on how team can train, according to JN standards, for 1-2 years and get to champion level, so can reserves and even more by that, in 10-20 years. So this representation that Pikachu > Charizard, Sceptile, Incineroar, A-G, Infernape( who else is main ace reserve, maybe Heracross in Johto, Krookodile in BW) > Aura powered Mega Lucario > Gliscor, Gible, Hawlucha, probably Glaile, Melmetal, probably Quilava, Corphish, Tauros, Kingler,Lycanroc etc > Sirfetch'd, Gengar,Dracovish, Dragonite > reserves that didn't train probably like Muk, Scraggy idk who else doesn't train in Ash's reserves team at all or that much, is accurate based on JN series.That doesn’t really seem like an accurate power scale heck I do think that the JN team members are a lot stronger then you give them credit for.
Look I get that some don’t like how the JN team has been handled and yeah they could have been handled better. However by the end of the series the series they will be some of Ash’s strongest mons regardless of how people may feel about it just do to the nature of having to face stronger opponents.
That thing is too busted, and it's still growing stronger, so probably gonna be Ash's strongest ace by the Leon battle.But would it be enough to level the playing field against Aura boosted Mega Lucario.
For the last time, it's been 2 weeks since Ash and Iris went their separate ways!In JN Axew evolved into Haxorus and became Champion level.From ( like weak gym level) to JN : Champion level, so in 10 years.
Your trying to use realistic timeline in an anime where ash is 10 for 25 years. Idk if that's gonna work.You kinda seem uneducated on the matter, however: In BW Axew and Scraggy were shown on the par with their power. Scraggy was born in BW.

Gengar definitely had a backstory,but I feel it was so disconnected from his personality and battling that it ultimately doesn't matterTbh power aside, the issue is that none of the mons really had much of a story, and they barely even exist aside from battle episodes (not even for gags) so it's hard to be invested in their fights
