Others have mentioned this before, but Cameron should have been disqualified by not bringing the required six pokemon team to a full-battle.
I think he should have been disqualified as well. I mean I dislike Cameron too, but when he appeared, I was like “well at least someone is here to make Ash look much smarter and competent as a trainer.” So of course I (like most fans) was pissed that Ash lost to him.
It’s just that when Ash lost the Indigo League, he’s made out to be this bratty sore loser who had no right to be upset about his humiliating defeat. While Ash was partially to blame for his loss, he had every right to be sad.
Unova didn’t do that and it wasn’t even Ash’s fault he lost, which is why I consider Unova to be the 2nd worst league behind the Indigo League.
"I'll keep using a Pokémon till it is perfectly unproblematic and leave it’s side immediately when it faces issues." is really, really out of character for Ash and not really good ethics-wise imo. It’s literally a trainer's job to work out the kinks in a Pokemon.
That’s not the point. If Charizard stopped being unproblematic, then Ash shouldn’t even release it. I understand that it would be out of character for him, but it’s not his fault that Charmander turned mean after it evolved into Charmeleon/Charizard. If anything, Ash had the patience of a saint regarding Charizard because of how ungrateful it was. I hated Ash’s Charizard before the episode “Charizard Chills.”
Also, I’m glad this was actually portrayed a bit realistically in XY with Ash’s Froakie’s former trainers getting fed up with it and returning it to the lab. Just because Ash, Dawn, and Iris had the patience to deal with their disobedient Pokémon, doesn’t mean that other trainers should and will.
