Satoshi himself? Still, I always felt the character was rebooted or nerfed after every single story arc.

I would guess they're talking about how he can take Pokemon attacks and shrug them off, or something like that.

Yes. There is even a meme to refer to Satoshi's superhuman strength.
Super Masara-jin (Pallet town is Masara town in JP)
Super Saiyan reference of course

Oh right, Action Ash diving down cliff sides and such whenever a Pokemon's in need. Then there was the time he carried a Hippopotas on his head despite the thing weighing like 200 lbs.

Don't forget Larvitar, who weighs about 180 lbs, or Nebby as a Cosmoem.
