This is factually incorrect. Goten really does wish his father was there to help. Furthermore, he wishes his dad was there, in his head.
As you say, he wishes just for help in the Japanese version, but it is still in his head. There's a major problem with this. I'll explain more, next.

The Dragonballs shot off afterwards making it fufil the wish. Next the Dragonballs by Dende can bring people back to life more than once. That was only a restriction on Kami's set.
Here's a list of problems with the Dragonballs being used:
1. The Dragonballs could not have granted any wish as an incantation is required to get them to work to begin with. As I recall, it has to be precise.
2. Shenron did not appear. He wasn't called forth properly (see point 1), and he never said, "your wish has been granted." No wish was ever made.
3. The entire wish sequence is so completely wrong and messed up that it's retarded. Why would the dragonballs shoot off when no wish was made?
4. Goku even appears "ethereal" when coming out of the clouds, furthering the point that it was in spirit and not actually there. To further that point, he had no Halo and he disappeared into nothing when he "left". He should of had a halo.
5. There is no proof that at the "time" when Movie 10 occurred, the Dragonballs could not revive a person who had been dead more than once. If you can prove it, I will concede this point. Conceding 1 point out of the 5 doesn't do anything, though. And, as you later point out, he didn't need to be revived anyway. So why no halo? So this point is partially applicable.

Just because it's PIS him surviving, him finding a ship at all on New Vegeta, and all that doesn't change the fact he did do all that. Gokou coming down to help while probably PIS doesn't suddenly mean he didn't come down.
No, but all the other points certainly do mean it. There's also the fact that Broli got his guts punched out, basically, from that punch. It was absurdly deep. Not the wound we see him have in movie 10, for sure. PIS? Yup. Sorry attempt to bring back a dead character for the fans? Yup. Power continuity problems with the character and Gohan? Yup.

Where is your proof of that claim? Did another character say that?

Trunks, and Goten were able to keep up with 18 even when they weren't able to really able to move properly. And even if that's not proof enough 18 admits Trunks would have done some serious damage had his blast connected, and Goten and Trunks are the same strength just about. Goten is in 18's power range.
I guess you're forgetting that she was holding way back, the serious damage comment is absurd PIS, and she stops holding back and the moment she does, he beats the shit out of them. (She doesn't know that they are Goten and Trunks so she holds waaaaay back to keep from killing the fighter. Proof of this is her quick defeat of those two once she realizes who it is.)
This is why I asked you because I thought that that was your logic. Why did those two get scared all of a sudden when she figured them out? It's obvious. Because they knew she was holding way back.

Except there isn't any reason to think it is weaker. And there isn't any proof Gokou didn't come down. Nobody was wished back to life Goten didn't even wish for Gokou except in the American version. He wished for help, and Gokou appeared. Gokou's gone down to Earth before in movie 9 and hit Bojack so him coming down to fire a blast isn't any different.
I agree that he didn't wish Goku back to life. That's pretty much the extent of it. Goku really wasn't there. It's pretty simple. And if he was, then everything was so screwed up in that movie that it can't be used in a debate at all. Which is true, anyway.
I don't have the Japanese version. However, if that's what he wished in his head, that makes the case even worse for Goku actually being there.
And Goku coming down like that in Bojack is PIS, as well. It simply could not happen, canonically. The goes against many different unbreakable rules in DBZ.
Broli doesn't even exist, canonically.

Gohan's blast after Cell get distracted does get bigger yes but not that much bigger at all. Still way smaller than Cell's Kamehameha he first used. And bigger doesn't always equal more power. Freeza's death beam is small but is more powerful than his normal ki blasts. Again Cell's first Kamehameha. Broli did with a normal ki blast and no charging up that Freeza, Gokou, Vegeta, and Cell all had to charge their super attacks to accomplish.
Frieza's death beam has a really high piercing power/ ability, similar to a destructo disc but in the form of a beam. As far as destructive power goes, it is not very powerful.
And, no, the larger the attack, the more powerful it is, ALWAYS in DBZ, if it is the same attack used. The only counter example you have is Gohan piercing through Cell's attack, that's it.
The Kamehameha in movie 10 dissolved Broli's big ball of green energy attack, BTW, so that's not a second example.
