Top 10 Most Disliked Pokemon Characters

I know people have made lists like these before, but I wanted to voice my opinion on the characters that I dislike or partly dislike. If you agree or disagree, so be it. Enjoy. :3
The Top Ten
1 Serena Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl but she can also be openly rebellious towards her mother, Grace. In Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Grace made her practice Rhyhorn riding, an activity Serena had hated doing... read more

Okay, let's end this, Poke-Shippers, and haters, She's girly, OK deal. She isn't the FIRST girly Pokémon trainer, she likes fashion, that was basically the THEME of Kalos, and just because she's girly, and pretty, doesn't mean she has to be ashes girlfriend, she's a good cook, performer, and is always trying new things, and she can be quite entertaining! She's not shy, she's actually one of the Pokémon chacrecters that got very close to they're goals, she doesn't pick on Ash like Misty, or Iris, So Deal!

Boring personality... mediocre Pokémon battlling skills... obsessed with Ash to no end. Performances are just like castrated Pokémon Contests (where they DO battle and show some important skill) that are exclusive to girls. I don't even find her "hot". Also, she never battled with Ash to help him get better at his goal (Misty, Iris and May did), neither inspired him to make new strategies (Dawn did). She would be a decent character... in shoujo-type animes, not here.

2 Misty Misty, known as Kasumi in Japan, is a character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri. She’s the gym leader in Cerulean city & specializes in water Pokemon. In the games, she’s known as ‘the tomboy mermaid.’ ...read more.

Ah...she's an interesting one. I can consider her worse than Iris will ever be. "Iris is the kid! She's way too annoying and cocky! " Have you SEEN Indigo League?

Misty, you are seriously a real jerk. She's done it to Ash, Brock, and so many others. From the start, she followed Ash because he owed her a BIKE? Couldn't you get your sisters to buy you another one? Speaking of sisters, she basically stole her gym's Pokemon from them. How are any beginner trainers supposed to battle the second gym? And then you suddenly want to battle Ash because you don't want him to get away? Bruh, just stop. You even taunted him when he started losing. Did he deserve that at all? Not in my mind.

And also speaking of Pokemon, Togepi I don't consider hers anymore. Ash found the egg but Misty pretty much took it from him. And she's really ungrateful to Psyduck. How will you get it to evolve if you don't cooperate with it? And build a friendship in the process, gosh. So if you had gotten a ...more

Now She deserves to be number one! Not Serena! Always, always, always and ALWAYS complaining about her bike like its her friend! May and Dawn have their bikes being accidently busted by Pikachu's attack, but they're always keep their cool, unlike Misty, who doesn't. And Ash and Misty aren't couple material, so get that through your thick skulls, Ash and Misty supporters! End of discussion!

She'd always hit Ash and Brock and then everyone would laugh and cheer. That's not right. She always talk, talk, talking about her bike all over and over again! Please, that's like crying over spilled milk on a daily basis! May and Dawn have their bikes accidently destroyed, but you don't see them having a pathetic fit about them, like Misty does!

ASH AND SERENA KISSED! NO POKESHIPPERS CAN SAY THE SAME! And also after they kissed Ash smiled which implies he also had a crush on Serena. Also does anyone really ship Ash and Iris seriously? It's such a terrible ship! Anyway it's clear that they won't be in a bad relationship of they get married. If Misty marries Ash then they might be in an abusive relationship with each other but if Ash and Serena did so it would be much better! I don't know why people hate Serena so much though, she's only obsessive with Ash that's all. Her feelings for Ash surpasses Misty. Ash was the one who asked Serena to follow whereas Misty only followed him. This whole bicycle incident led Misty to follow Ash until gen 3. She is such a brat. I just cannot see why people like her so much! If they're so obsessed with Misty, then those people are most likely smelly, flabby neckbeards who never leave theri grungy, roach-infested apartments. Misty may be cute, but she's a royal pain.

3 Pikachu Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) are a species of Pokémon, fictional creatures that appear in an assortment of video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese corporation. A mascot of the Pokemon franchise, it's considered to be the most iconic character of all Pokemon species, as well as a major character in Japanese pop culture, due to its companionship with Ash Ketchum in the anime series. Pikachu has been featured in movies such as Pokemon Detective Pikachu as well as music videos - most notably Katy Perry's "Electric" in 2021.

I have a love-hate relationship with that Pokemon. Yes Pikachu, I get you're a mascot, but there are some parts of the plot that make no sense for you, as well as the popularity thing. How do you-after getting so strong in DP- LOSE TO A LEVEL FIVE SNIVY?! You get so strong in one region, then get weak in the next and have to get strong again? Too repetitive for my taste. Also, you take a lot of popularity away from other Pokemon just being introduced. All I hear people say is Pikachu this, Pikachu that, and even calling the name Pikachu for Pokemon THAT AREN'T PIKACHU. Raichu, the evolved form that is supposed to be stronger, gets less love. At least have that one and Pichu be co-mascots, I mean come on! All three are an evolution line! I'd like to see Pikachu team up with just all Pokemon in a series for once, and specifically his evolution line. Now he just irritates the heck out of me, even though I encourage the one in my game to evolve into a Raichu (I prefer Raichu over him).

I think Eevee would make a better main character because there would be more of a plot. Eevee would have so many options whether or not to evolve. Pikachu is just sorta there, he serves no purpose.

Pikachu is a piteously minuscule parasite and a perverse all-defiling depraved orgy of subhuman indecency.

I wonder why Pikachu has been around for so long but never evolved.

4 Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. Shin-ichiro Miki, the actor who voices James in the original Japanese version of the Pokémon anime, voices Charizard in both the Japanese and English-language versions of the anime. An orange, draconic Pokémon, Charizard is the evolved form of Charmeleon and the final evolution of Charmander. It has two other forms, Mega Charizards X and Y, which are its ...read more.

I'll say this once here: Charizard is one of the most overrated Pokemon I've ever seen in my life. People think he can beat anything, when I saw a Pokemon video about which of the three starters would be the strongest, and Blastoise was the victor of their battle. That's why I choose Blastoise over Charizard-I can kill trainers with that one flaw. And plus, I have my suspicions that he's the reason why Venusaur is so underrated. Charizard honestly was a jerk to Ash in Indigo League as well. I wish he had stayed a Charmander until Ash could get him to obey in the next forms.

Charizard is a great Pokemon withg reat mega evolutions but people hate on him because of stealth rocks even though Is till do good with him.
He is overrated though. Stupid genwunners! In my opinion!

5 Paul

I don't have a large explanation for Paul, but...God, I seriously can't stand him. He's such a jerk to Chimchar and other "weak" Pokemon. He doesn't train them right, or give them special care of comfort. If I could set him on fire, I would. Actually, I wish Chimchar had done it like Charmander did to his old trainer in the Indigo League right before he joined Ash. I'm glad that Ash took Chimchar from him, Paul is just a Pokemon abuser to whichever ones he can't train "fast enough."

Whereas Silver actually had a soul, Paul just doesn't. He is a bully and a horrible trainer whose methods may work for now, but will backfire against him if he doesn't clean up his act.

He's a ripoff of Silver, that's what he is!

Paul is a douche.

6 Trip

I find him to be a picky little showoff. He refuses to battle Ash because he thinks he's too good for him (And he decides to challenge Iris-and she refused-but Ash was BEGGING for a fight). One mishap win does not make you the best. Even Iris pointed out his showoff flaw when he refused to battle Ash again, and likely out of embarrassment, he chose to fight him. If Pikachu had been powered up in the first battle, Trip would have lost so bad that he probably would have blamed his Snivy for being too "weak."

A much worse version of Paul. Paul and Gary (My favorite character) were actually competitive rivals, which Trip is somewhat nice to Ash.
Speaking of competitive rivals, we haven't had any since gen 2.

He's the most boring out of all of Ash's rivals.

I hate trip who in the world is trip? I'm guessing he always trips and cries

7 Ash Ketchum Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi in Japan, is a fictional main character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo. Ash is training to be a Pokemon Master, with his buddy Pikachu. Ash tries to stop the evil Team Rocket from stealing his Pikachu.

Honestly, what really annoys me about him is the fact that in every series, he starts completely from scratch. And I don't mean his pokemon. I mean his entire character. I mean it's like he doesn't carry anything from the previous region and still has to learn the same lessons. Like he doesn't have previous experience despite the fact that at the end of the series, he gets so close to his goal. Honestly I wouldn't even mind THAT, in fact, I think it's kind of interesting, kind of like it's different universes, except they continually reference how much experience he actually HAS.

In certain series that he's been in, Ash really makes himself look ridiculously dumb, and you can tell by how his companions act when he does certain things. Don't get me wrong, I love Ash completely because of all the things he's done, it's just that they make his IQ look way too small for my liking.

He's not even a character anymore. He's just a rehashed role. Every saga Ash plays the rehashed role of unknown underdog over and over again.

This moron is overhyped and over worshipped by his fans. Even being the protagonist he is most boring

8 Greninja Greninja is a Water/Dark type Pokemon introduced in Gen 6. It is the evolved form of Frogadier and the final evolved form of the water starter Froakie. Aside from the usual Torrent ability all Water starters have (Which raises the power of its Water moves), it also has the ability Protean, which changes it's typing to the latest move it used. In Sun/Moon, Greninja also has the ability Battle Bond, which transforms him into his stronger form Ash-Greninja after defeating a Pokemon. Greninja's signature move is Water Shuriken. Not only does it hit up to 5 times, it also allows Greninja to attack first.

I'm sorry, but I find Greninja to be an overrated Pokemon as well, but not highly overrated. I think it is the most liked out of the 3 Kalos starters, but I partly don't fancy its design, nor do I like how it's portrayed through popularity. In Super Smash Bros 4, I think Greninja's too much of a spammer. Could that give the impression that Greninja can beat the "impossible" or that he's the best? Maybe. I'm just kinda iffy about him.

Tied with sharks are for worst final form for a starter. And charmander and froakie were so cute too...

The species is cool. Ash-Greninja is just stupid.

It looks so cool

9 Jessie

Jessie thought she was the boss of everything in the group. She was picky as well and was a jerk to James and Meowth. How do they put up with her? She basically abused them a bit too and when plans came up, I believe either she turned them down or forced them to go along with it-some persuasion added. I guess she thinks James and Meowth are the Pawns and that she's the Queen, when Giovanni could have easily fired her sorry butt and she'd blast off again.

Jessie is not good being a star or being not the best pokemon showcase performer either she sucks and she doesn't have a dream future she doesn't. Because her future is used up and she's like a virus who also spreading in this whole entire kalos city that's why she's the worsted evil women of all because she's a lying fraud. Of all time

10 Gary Oak Gary oak appeared in the anime series in seasons 1-5 . He was ash's rival and childhood friend . Though they had a dispute once they fought over a rusty pokeball they wanted for luck, which broke after they fought over it . Gary was the grandson of professor oak . He had cheerleaders & his own car. There where a lot of things he did to irritate ash, such as write things addressing ash, to picking on him . After he lost to ash at the Johto league, he decided to be a Pokemon researcher ... even though he always beat ash afterwords when they battled . So he wasn't ash's rival anymore, and they were a lot friendlier around each other . Gary even gave ash the other half of the pokeball at some point ...read more.

Gary Oak brags WAY too much. I can see why Ash hates him and wants to be better. He even insults the poor guy. One episode at the end before Ash and co. Went to the next city, he wrote on a sign, "Gary was here, Ash is a loser! " Bruh! Are you serious? Plus, why do you need cheerleaders following you just to cheer you on? Does no one else motivate him? Why is HE of all people Professor Oak's grandson anyway? -_-

The Contenders
11 Iris Iris is from the Pokemon bwhite version & Pokemon black 2 & white. She ether was the gym leader in Opelucid city in white version. She first appeared to aid Bianca, Burgh, and the playable character when Bianca's Munna was stolen, & acted as a bodyguard. In Black 2 & White 2, she was the champion. Iris ...read more.

What do you mean, I think she's close to nature and she can make medicine for pokemon, she's beautiful

12 Bonnie Bonnie is created by game freak & Nintendo. She was in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, as Clemont's (the electric type gym leader of Lumiose City) younger sister. She gave out quizzes to trainers who came to challenge the gym, who if they get it wrong would have to challenge a trainer. ...read more.

Who put Bonnie this list take her? but keep Max and put him after Harley and put him on second while put Harley on first.

13 Cilan Cilan is one of the three Gym Leaders of Striaton City's Gym, known officially as the Striaton Gym, in Pokemon Black and White. In the anime, he is classified as an A-class Pokemon Connoisseur and traveled with Ash Ketchum in the Unova region. He first debuted in Triple Leaders, Team Threats!.

I loved Cilan, but I do see why some people will be annoyed with him. He's extremely overhated and it sucks.

WELL. We've got a Cilan hater. Many Cilan haters. Everyone hates Cilan. I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. Cilan is very talented. He is an amazing chef, he can see the bonuses and flaws in Pokemon and Traiers. And he has THE AMAZING GREEN HAIR. So what if he wasn't in love with every girl he saw? Makes it easier for Ash to travel without getting humiliated whenever he passed Nurse Joy. So what if he isn't a doctor? Iris can use herbs! And despite his overexaggeration, he really is a great Sherlock Holmes. He's even got the hat for it. Why all the Cilan hate?

~Silverfrost of RiverClan

He suck! He have green hair!

All he talks about is food
For example if Ash started dying for no reason Cilan would be like
"This is just like a butterfree Cooked with butter"
Anything that comes out of his mouth is what he put in it

14 Mr. Mime Mr. Mime, known in Japan as Barrierd, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

One word, suck

15 May May is a female companion to Ash in the generation 3 anime. She was also the female character in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. May (anime) debuted in the 275th episode, "Get the Show on the Road!" She was going to be a trainer, but wasn't excited about it. After meeting a... read more

Dislike her for having a blind fanbase even though she herself wasn't that better. Was very mean and abusive to Ash many not know about it as those episodes were underrated. Total brainless. She goes well with Harley for being similarly useless and annoying. besides Ash deserves better than her.

16 Max

Bonnie is much cuter and better than Max and she nothing like him except for being the youngest sibling and have an oldest sibling. Max is so annoying because he's such a know-it-all. He should be and stay on the list. Bonnie is the cutest character.

Bonnie is cuter and better than Max. She's cutest and funniest character ever. She's nothing like Max except for being the youngest sibling and have an oldest sibling.Max is annoying and such know-it-all who he's know everything about Pokemon. He should be and stay the on list.

Bonnie is more cuter and better and Max. She's nothing like Max except for the youngest siblings and have oldest siblings. Max is so annoying and such a know-it-all.

Bonnie is better than Max and she nothing like Max except for being the youngest sibling and have an oldest sibling. Max is so annoying and such know-it-all.

17 Damian

I remember him. He's the one who treated Charmander like it was weak! But he deserves to be burned and shocked, and crying for his mommy.

18 Harley

The only male character of this anime that I really dislike...he should be number 1 on this list.

He's wants May to lose.

19 Arceus Arceus is a legendary Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It first appeared in the 18th Pokémon movie alongside other Legendary Pokémon. In the Pokémon universe, Arceus is widely known as "The Original One", as it's believed to be the creator of the entire pokemon universe. According to mythology, Arceus is said to emerge from an egg that existed before the universe.

It was created by Dr. Fuji using gene splicing in an attempt to clone Mew. In the Pokémon games, it's infamously known as the most powerful Pokémon among all species. Mewtwo is capable of evolving into two forms - Mega Mewtwo X (using Mewtonite X) and Mega Mewtwo Y (using Mewtonite Y)

Boi, he's the best. My username is "Mewtwo"660

23 Sawyer

Sawyer is pretty cool.

24 Aipom Aipom, known in Japan as Eipam, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

In this Pokemon's debut episode, she steals Ash's hat (sound familiar? ). This wasn't so bad the first time, as Ash was surprisingly more mature about it than with Mankey/Primeape, showing some subtle character development. This got promptly RUINED in the next episode, where she takes his hat again and Ash regresses to his old hat-climbing ways.

So Ash eventually catches Aipom and instead of staying at Prof. Oak's lab, she sneaks on-board the ship, ruining the whole fresh-start-with-no-one-but-Pikachu bit. After that, she becomes incredibly fickle. She gets bored of gym battles, so she gets interested in contests. This leads to her being traded to Dawn for Buizel. Then after she evolves, Ambipom gets interested in ping-pong, so she gets left behind for special training (again, sound familiar? ). Make up your mind already!

25 Meowth Meowth, known in Japan as Nyarth, is a Normal-type Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Designed by Ken Sugimori, it was first introduced in the Pokemon Red and Blue, and is also known as the mascot of Team Rocket in the anime. At level 28, it evolves into Persian. Meowth has three forms. Its Alolan form is a dark-type Pokemon, and can be evolved into Alolan Persian with high friendship. Its Galarian form is a steel type pokemon that evolves into Perrserker at level 28. Meowth is the first and only pokemon to both have regional forms and a Gigantamax form.
