I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, and there is one thing lacking, a power monitor tool which will display the status, the one in Ubuntu MATE looks like this:
Ubuntu (Unity) also has a similar one, but I can't seem to find one installed by default on Ubuntu GNOME, so is there one that I just haven't found or one that I can install that's made for GNOME, or is not DE specific?

You can find the following power managers in the Ubuntu repositories :
gnome-power-manager mate-power-manager xfce4-power-manager
These power managers have the design as shown in your screenshots.
Alternatively you can install the powertop tool from the repositories.
PowerTOP is a Linux tool to diagnose issues with power consumption and power management. It reports which components in the system are most likely to blame for higher-than-needed power consumption, ranging from software applications to active components in the system. Detailed screens are available for CPU states, device activity and software activity.

The Unity tool is likely from GNOME: gnome-power-statistics. The package is named gnome-power-manager, and I think the MATE version is called mate-power-statistics (and mate-power-manager).
