Even now a Pokemon uses 2-3 animations for all moves, so they use effects to distinguish them. You don't have that limitation in the show. Everything being energy is just lazy, and it means the designs don't matter for combat because everything can just spawn energy out of their ass. Might as well give Electrode punching moves, he can spawn a big energy fist.
