The "being intelligent and using the right moves at the right time" part does still exist: after all, you aren't the only ones with access to powerful moves. The power creep is noticeable, but so far the items have not broken the metagame and have in fact balanced or at least diversified it. No items (with the sole exception of Soul Dew) have been considered "overpowered" by any means, and any item that gives a significant boost either has a notable drawback (Choice items, Life Orb) or requires specific conditions to work (Expert Belt, Elemental Gems).
