When did Pokemon battles stop being gag based and winning on pure luck (Pikachu, the horn!) and start to actually resemble game battles with strategy?
Not to say that winning by luck doesn't still happen. An example includes Georgia's Beartic winning a battle by falling on the Joltik it was fighting. However, I can accept that because this is a giant polar bear and tiny spider we are talking about. The latter was lucky it wasn't crushed and instead got the swirly eyes of "being unable to battle".
