You're saying that now? IIRC, you were one of the main ones using the anime to justify Pokemon abilities like Charizard's feats. Maybe it was MooCow
Manga, Blue's Charmeleon vs Koga's Arbok.
Rattata have plenty of power behind their teeth. Raticate gnaw through concrete. Stats may not represent their actual abilities. ESPECIALLY not in the anime. Slaking does not have the strength of Regigigas, even though their attack stats are equal. And Gardenia has a Turtwig which was somehow much faster than it should have been.

The anime to an extent, but when it disagrees with the games, the games are the winner. 😐
Most of the anime is different from the games.
Pikachu beats ground types with electric attacks.
Sabrina has psychic powers dwarfing even Alakazam.
Meowth beating Onix by splashing water on it and using Fury Swipes.
A giant-sized Dragonite existing.
Meowth talks.
Rhydon's horn is a weakness.
One of the Nurse Joys is superhuman.
Unown creates Pokemon.
People surviving Pokemon attacks.
1st Gen Ghost Pokemon can beat Kadabra.
Ash Ketchum getting gym badges for dumb reasons.
Giovanni is still around and is still head of Team Rocket.
Paras beating Charmeleon.
Bruno defeats a giant Onix.
etc.

So Officer Jenny who took a bite from Growlithe who is stronger than a concrete chewing rat has better durability than Cloud? 😆
Pikachu beats ground types with electric attacks.Games win.
Sabrina has psychic powers dwarfing even Alakazam.Games win.
A giant-sized Dragonite existing.Not inaccurate to the games, where a giant bellsproud is the central pillar of a tower.
Meowth talks.Not impossible.
One of the Nurse Joys is superhuman.Games win, and wait wut?
Unown creates Pokemon.Doesn't contradict the games, at all.
People surviving Pokemon attacks.It's a kid's show. 😐
1st Gen Ghost Pokemon can beat Kadabra.Can be done.
Ash Ketchum getting gym badges for dumb reasons.Totally irrelevant.
Giovanni is still around and is still head of Team Rocket.Games win.
Paras beating Charmeleon.Games win and epic PIS, hates that episode so much.
Bruno defeats a giant Onix.Games win.

So if a name means they're magical, they now dwell in pockets.Excellent logic is excellent.
I think you overlooked one thing, though. They are not called Pokemon because of Pokeballs. They are called Pokeballs because of Pokemon.
I see you really overlooked how they became called POCKET MONSTERS, you think they called them that before pokeballs?
In SoulSilver it says before pokeballs were invented, people walked around with their pokemon, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were called pokemon then.
It seems logical pocket monsters could only be called pocket monsters if you could keep them in your pocket, and so the pokeball, pocket ball, was invented first. .. I think.

A Poke Ball!
Obviously they would have to test it first, leading to them being able to keep it in the ball and in areas such as their pockets.
Which eventually leads to pocket monsters as the name and pokeball should just be all too easy to put together ermm
