>don’t get catastrophically rearranged in battle or beam clash explosions don’t the trainersoff their feet is just a bit of a stylized conceit of the setting one has to grit through
What are you even talking about? They can show whatever power level they want. Most of the time they don't even fight in dirt arenas, they fight in mountains or caves or whatever and still do barely any damage to anything with high level attacks. Digimon consistently shows more high level feats of destruction than the Pokemon anime has done in 30 years. Are you really going to pull the fucking Kratos argument on Pokemon?

>The mons do plenty of widespread destruction around their environments when the context isn’t trainer battle
Such as...? Why would they be going less all out against the environment than they would against an enemy Pokemon?

>Beams that leave gouges through the ground, attacks that are composed of the tossi g or smashing rocks or ice
Yeah and they're still not very impressive.
