It's impossible to put up rules for marysues. They're too subjective. It's already a nightmare over ratings in violence and sex.
And it's not your imagination. If you watch early and late episodes, or check episode guides, the pokemon series has had more and more filler episodes over time. It's contradicted itself over and over again just to make up a new one-shot plotline for an episode. Ash, who used to have a personality, became just Generic Good Guy #3. Misty and Brock were cutouts acting out a single gag and otherwise just cheerleading.
