What about the Ho-oh theory, which basically states that when Ash saw Ho-oh at the end of the first episode, it gave him eternal happiness as it says in the Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, White 2, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire dex entries. This "Eternal Happiness" theory goes on to suggest that Ash's effective wish was to go on an adventure with Pikachu, and it didn't let him fall into a Saitama situation with Pikachu getting too powerful. Ergo, the level reset is simply part of Ash's eternal happiness, as it lets him have the joy of battling opponents without being so strong that the fight isn't enjoyable.

Here is a theory for Ash's Pikachu: When Ash sends a lv100 pikachu against a lv5 snivy, you would expect pikachu to win, because pikachu is 95 levels higher than snivy, however, that isnt the case. Instead, when Ash goes in a battle with a trainer, all pokémon are set to lv50, like how people do online battles in the real world. Meaning, Ash's pikachu and Trip's snivy are actually lv50 each. That is why pikachu didn't knock out snivy, but the other way around. Also the reason why pikachu could take down legendary pokémon. Also why pikachu lost to a bellsprout. Did I blow any minds yet?

[@denniswilliams6519]

My theory: Ash's Pikachu is the victim of Ash seeing Ho-Oh in episode 1. Seeing a Ho-Oh is said to give the person eternal happiness. Ash's idea of eternal happiness means traveling the world and challenging, but not outright winning, the Pokemon League since if he becomes a Pokemon Master his journey is over. So every time Ash fails, he leaves behind most of his Pokemon in Oak's lab and travels to the next region to begin his adventure anew. Always traveling, always getting new Pokemon and making new friends and always having fun in the chase. Only problem is Ash insists on taking Pikachu with him, so Ho-Oh somehow makes Pikachu's power reset when Ash enters a new region so Ash's Pikachu doesn't one shot everything and take the fun and challenge out of Ash's adventures.

[@floofthebird525]

My theory about pikachu's fluctuating capabilities has to do with possible health problems. Pikachu could well have an incurable health condition (something similar to fibromyalgia or MS) that causes him to have good days and then really really crappy days. There are health issues that can make you literally unable to see to your daily needs one day then you seem pretty much fine the next. If pikachu has something like that then it could easily explain why he can own ass one day then get steam rolled himself the next, along with why he seems to be much more susceptible to illness than other pokemon seem to be. After all, he has needed care due to fever a good number of times in the anime while it very rarely happens to any other pokemon.

[@majormana1]

Good theory. Sounds more reasonable then other theories I have heard about it. Now can you explain Misty's psyduck? I know most are kind of derpy but hers can't swim other psyducks' can and hers when gets headache seems unusally powerful.

Miss Amanda's world I don't really know with Misty's Psyduck, he's always just come off as being an oddball to me.

Pikachu doesn't battle for the sake of plowing through Pokemon he like to test them and then he gets caught underestimating them. (Not my own theory but one I believe is the best answer)

[@Whitewolf1984p]

Pikachu is extremely powerful (And probably level 100 or damn close) As to his power "Fluctuations" I have a possible senario. Living things (I dont mean ACTUAL plants) use extremely small amounts of electricity to move about. Now Pikachu is essentially a very big Battery. If Pikachu wen't into his ball he would conserve his energy but because he refuses to he is constantly draining power and only really fully recharges at poke centers. As for the getting ill part, Well old fashioned batteries would get worse if you over charged them, Pikachu's body can deal with other pokemons electric attacks (It doesn't make him sick) And slow charging electric (Like when Ash powered up Pikachue to beat Brock witch also upped Pikachu's power capacity making his attacks hit much harder) However sudden high voltage from man made generators ect basically overload and short Pikachu out (making him Ill) And when he recovers his power capacity is reset NOT his level. He still know's all his moves but doesn't pack enough punch upon a new region to deliver. (It takes half the season for Pikachu to get back to full Toasting ability) Reason being if you look at Ash's other pokemon (Charizard in perticular) His power NEVER wanes from appearance to appearance. And Pikachu always seem's to have a VERY large amount of clout just after a poke centre visit (Even just being in its proximity seems to do this) However Pikachu always starts to dip in power after a short while without a pokecentre visit.

Theory: Pikachu that you see at the start of every season is the baby breed of its previous version. You can call it PikaCloneTheory

[@cullenlatham2366]

if i remember the episode correctly, those boys spitting out pokemon game facts had a unique training regiment that involved what we know as the pokemon games acting as simulators in the anime world, and the pokemon they used were facility property. well trained, but not experienced in trainer pokemon communication. if i also remember correctly, when ash and friends show up, they pwn the students and "teach" that battles in their world are less about "levels, moves and type advantages" as the games would have us believe but more about trainer pokemon trust, respect, and imagination. to me, the episode was more of a game cameo, showing that levels may still not exist, but the students use the label of levels which is abstract in their world to judge a pokemon's strength instead of trainer bonds, innovative ideas, and true battle experience. Proof of leveling working differently can be seen multiple times throughout the anime's history. in the sinnoh region when battling the fighting type gym leader, buizel "levels up" and learns a new move while an opposing pokemon is still standing. Other instances include pokemon evolving in battle as either a mind trick or as pokemon's drive to succeed. in both events, it would not be plausible in game. you dont gain experience or level up until an opposing pokemon is defeated, preventing a pokemon from learning a new move while an opposing pokemon is out, only learning it between pokemon. evolution cannot happen mid battle in game, even if you level up to the appropriate level mid battle. the evolution doesnt start until the entire battle has finished.

That's quite the deep analysis for that mentioned episode. I'll applaud you for that. :)

[@galensmith9396]

Isn't it still just the pokemon gaining experience in the battle and evolving or leveling up in the middle of battle? It isn't completely different, it's just that as they were fighting the experience was coming to the pokemon, instead of all of the experience being received at the end of the fight.

[@jgzitxxitcocllh]

Well this is my theory: Parallel Universes. Before you yell at me please listen... We saw in the XY series that Ash and pikachu ended up in an alternate dimension. There could be many ways to play this... either he truly did die in the movies or it just swaps between them. Like so this theory is shown!

[@justininsect9430]

Maybe Pikachu's health was low

[@softkitty2887]

I like the level resets theory. In addition the "sickness" Pikachu gets could be something like having cancer in that you're body becomes weaker as you fight off the illness and then Pikachu has to train to return to his Physical fitness (after he's cured) so he can win battles again.

[@mattehwizard1979]

[@salat6154]

MattehWizard Aand you do realize that Unova is the fifth region. Either ways, in Unova, Zekrom, a legendary pokemon, shocked Pikachu which weakened Pikachu greatly.

[@alekstojakovic2480]

it was because zekrom shocked pikachu and its power weakened

[@AnTheSPGKid]

AsFirstOfBig / ROBLOX yeah but even if it did weaken it might have just weakened it to level 50, and pikachu hit snivy with a quick attack, so even if zekrom did weaken pikachu to level 50 then snivy would've fainted!

[@jacobellis2313]

Bigger question is how hes been in so many pokemon league matches seen around the world and yet not a single person knows him. Sure he may not win but he has come close before and anyone studding up on pokemon battles is sure to of seen him a couple of times.

[@themiguelodon7206]

Probably one tournament a year, Ash has never made it to the finals or even semifinals(consistently), and 63 other trainers for every tournament in ONE REGION. So about 430 trainers in league tournaments every year?

[@themiguelodon7206]

There should be at least someone who knew him though, he took down Tobias' Darkrai and Latios when no one else did. I dont get these writers

[@jacobellis2313]

But hes still 10 it hasn't even been a year and hes been in what 5 or 6 leagues now?

[@Weird_dude265]

Also its only ONE region of ONE country that can have SEVERAL regions. Technically America has 50 regions. The real world has 204 countries(I think) If each country had 5 regions with 500+ registered trainers each it would be very hard to keep track of any one person unless they really stood out or you really made an effort to track them. 1020 * 500= 500,000 plus trainers. You could finish in the top 16 each year and only be in the top 20,000 worldwide.

"I want to be a pokemon master!" Said ash -me- then why do you let you pokemon go? or not use your good pokemon?

[@zimonzieclown1633]

Also, evolve your Pokémon, Ash!

[@MrNepNep_]

Also to support the lvl reset theory... Maybe because pikachu is electrocuted he "wastes" energy. Like a car battery. If its running it wont use much electricity, but if you use electricity when its off it runs out faster. An in game example is when a pokemon uses for example a move like surf in battle it calls a tsunami, but in the field it lets you cross water. So since pikachu basicly cant use no field moves when he isnt battleing he wastes his power... I feel as if i put something that makes no sense but you get what i mean. He uses electricity out side of battle.

[@basicallyme8205]

Pikachu got shocked with heavy amouts of electricity in the first episode of black and white, that electricity distracted the powers of the attack or something like that... Or pikachu’s level resets so that new little kids can have the enjoyment that you had When you were smaller instead of pikachu defeating every Pokémon he battles

[@DromusTH]

even in black and white he had plenty of other moved but he kept telling his Pikachu to use Thunder type moves like an idiot

[@forestgrump4723]

My theory on ashes pikachu is that the level resets, but not because of the electricity. All pokemon have to reset their level when they go to a new region, this prevents a trainer from sweeping through all the regions leagues with a team of level 100 pokemon. This is possible because the pokemon trainers battle with are not actually real pokemon. Pokeballs do not store animals, they store data. When you catch a pokemon with a pokeball what actually happens is the pokeball scans the pokemon and makes a copy of it, personality and all. When the catch fails it is because the pokemon did not stay in the ball long enough for the scan to be complete, and this broke the ball. Ultra balls and such have a better chance of holding the pokemon longer giving the scan more time to complete. This is why organizations like PETA don't flip their shit about pokemon battles, in essence these kids are fighting with robots. AI robots that can learn things, but still robots. It also explains why you can store pokemon in PC, and why you need a special machine to trade pokemon. The pokeball is programmed to you, and you keep your same pokeball. The data is transferred. Because pokemon data can be messed with at customs they reset every pokemon to level 5 but leave their moveset alone because thunder from a level 5 pikachu is still not gonna be super powerful. And TMs are expensive, and trainers would whine and... too much hassle. That's my theory. ^_^

[@forestgrump4723]

We don't know that for certain, but even if TMs don't exist there's the issue of people that breed pokemon for egg moves and so on... you could find a justification to not wipe the move pool when the level gets reset.
