Ash is certainly very well known since he is the protagonist of the anime. Everyone knows what sort of person he is. If the main character in your fanfic is named Ash, people might assume that you are going for a similar character to Ash from the anime.Probably because he's a well-known and popular name. Using those type of characters is an 'easy trick' for people to draw attention to their fic and 'compensate' for their flaws in writing. (Not for all of them though, but it can be a factor.)
