Parental issues: Not very original at all.

Magic and science thrown in: Same as above.

Also to answer those you mentioned.

Good point with Samus VS Boba but that was an early episode.

Pikachu and Blanka are electrically-charged fighters originating from video games. Additionally, both have had a trainer with a reputation of being incompetent (Ash for Pikachu and Dan Hibiki for Blanka).

Cloud and Link are adventure/fantasy swordsmen who wield iconic indestructible swords and magical weapons that have saved their worlds many times.

Ryu Hayabusa and Strider Hiryu are blatantly unhidden reconnaissance agents who proved themselves as youngsters.
