Not to mention that the levels of the Pokémon in the animé aren't ridiculously high very often. The event-distributed "Ash's Pikachu" was Level 50, and was supposed to represent his Pikachu as of the end of the Diamond and Pearl series. The Pokémon belonging to the Champions are likely around the 80s. But it would seem that leveling up takes a fairly long time at the later levels, since I would imagine nobody's Pokémon in the anime are there yet (especially Pikachu, since, despite it being very strong, there are lots of stronger Pokémon out there). This is somewhat supported by Red, the strongest in-game trainer, only being in the 80s in terms of his team's levels, not 100, which is what allows others to defeat him. The only Pokémon from the anime I would be willing to admit is probably Level 100 is Arceus. Despite the fact that the Event Regigigas was also Level 100, the one in the 11th movie may have been less than this (though it could be blamed on it's ability, Slow Start, making it weaker since it had just woken up). Arceus' distribution counterpart was Level 100, and it was able to destroy a giant meteor that would have posed a major threat to Earth, even though it's individual base stats are surpassed by other Pokémon.
