Why is Ash's power getting weaker and weaker in "Pokémon"?

I think it may be because Xiaozhi is older. There are always many mysterious scenes in Japan's long-running animation "Pokémon", which may be because the long-term serialization has led to more and more unsolved mysteries. So far, there is no official explanation to us about what these mysterious backgrounds are. Among them, the background of the male protagonist Xiaozhi has attracted special attention. Many fans mocked Ash for being a mysterious beast hidden in "Pokémon". It is not only powerful, but can also appease "the same kind". However, a Japanese Pokémon fan recently discovered that our hero Ash seems to be becoming less powerful than before. Looking at Ash's previous strength in Pokémon, Ash is weaker now than before.

First, let’s review how terrifying Ash’s power was in the early animations. Xiaozhi’s display of the Force: For Xiaozhi, picking up Pokémon at will is a very simple matter. Every time I see him on TV, I find it incredible. After all, it's incredible to be able to pick up a Pokémon that weighs 55.5 kilograms as if nothing happened. Also, this isn't Ash's best record. Sometimes, Ash might even have four or five precious Pokémon hanging on him. Ash’s Intermediate Power Display: If you’ve watched the Pokémon animated series, you should be familiar with the Pokémon that Ash carries with him. This is a very powerful Pokémon in the anime.

In fact, judging by its size, you know how much it should weigh. According to official data, the Pokémon weighs more than 200 kilograms. If the person holding him is an adult, there is nothing special, but you should know that Xiaozhi is only more than 10 years old. In order to help Pokémon cross the river in the early stages of the animation, Ash once used his own strength to support a group of black-eyed crocodiles with wagging tails across the river. Many Pokémon were easily carried across the river by Ash, regardless of the weight of these Dark-Eyed Crocodiles, even the Pokémon that escaped from the Dark-Eyed Crocodiles would not lose weight. I believe many netizens have also begun to wonder why Xiaozhi's power is getting weaker and weaker.

In fact, the Japanese netizen who published this article also gave some explanations for this. Those interested may want to take a look. The first explanation: Xiaozhi's power has not changed. Obviously, this one is gentler. The second explanation is that the production staff has changed a lot in the past 20 years, which caused the new production team to forget Xiaozhi's original settings. The third explanation is: that is to say, although Xiaozhi looks like a teenager, he has actually entered middle age. As he grew older, his natural powers became weaker and weaker. So I think maybe Xiaozhi is older.
