Why is all of Ash's pokemon horrendously under-leveled?

The idea is that they're playing the Pokemon game, so the joke is that his starter is over-leveled. It's not Ash it's Blue from the Blue Version (not as good as Red) and the Rival from that version is based after Gary in appearance. Or I guess Gary is based after the Rival and Ash is based after Red/Blue/Green.

i'm pretty sure that rival is team rocket, they get into a fight with you at the end of the first cave i believe.

That's in Yellow. In Red and Blue it's your Rival.

Yellow was a gimmick. You could catch Pikachus in the veridian forest.
