Oh look, complaining about how a character is written in Season 1 of the a show that's been on for decades. Never gets old. That's a rather venomous comment for saying a freaking anime character is bad. Tone it down a bit.

Nah, there are plenty of trainers worse than Ash. He maybe an underdog and not win any championships but getting to semi-finals and finals is far better than most trainers can ever hope for. However, when it comes to showtime he usually chokes (or, in at least one instance, gets stomped by a trainer who's cheesing it with legendary mons left and right). Only in this last generation did he FINALLY win the League.

It's kinda a plot point that he doesn't start becoming a decent trainer until the episode he faces Ritchie in.
There's like 20 episodes between winning the Earth Badge and his first League match and I don't think we see him training his Pokémon more than once.
The reason that Charizard is disobedient is because Ash never bothered to train him except "call him out when there's a big battle and just hope he decides to play nice this time", and then what a surprise, Charizard is an asshole and costs him a match.
I kinda tuned out in the Hoenn episodes, but Ash turned into an absolute killer trainer during the Orange Islands and Johto seasons.

The worst Pokémon Trainer is that bitch Mindy who trades you a Haunter holding an Everstone. Don't remind me 😠
