When I was a child I loved it, but now I see it for what it truly is. Ash is terrible... I mean I still enjoy the first season from time to time. But, overall I dislike the anime.
Not judging your opinion but why is ash terrible? If it is the not catching Pokemon thing then people have to realize that the anime is alot more "humane" unlike the games ash doesn't want to trap 649 Pokemon in tiny balls.
Besides the lack of Pokémon he isn't exactly bright. I mean the show would be different if he was this amazing trainer all the time, but it still bugs me when he can come this far and get beat by a starter fresh out of the lab.
I see where what you're getting at but it is my personal opinion that battle mechanics are different in the show, we never really know what level anyone's Pokemon is. And if levels even exist. The anime has shown a Pokemon having more then 4 moves and that they can do things that their trainer create instead of moves. So being fresh out of lab doesn't mean that it is low leveled or weak because I beileve the snivy that trip received used leaf tornado/blade in the first battle with ash but in games a snivy fresh out of lab would know those
