Top Ten Overhated Pokemon Anime Human Characters

I don't hate Serena as much as other people do, but she IS annoying. And she is the furthest thing from overhated. Or, if you want, only on this website. But try to say you dislike her on any other website, or even not dislike her but you prefer another PokeGirl, and you will have a group of fans sending you death treats. If anything, Serena is not overhated, she is overloved. - Liinde

People just hate her cause she is girly, and I don't see a difference in other companions that wanted to do contests, she actually does contribute to the story, like if ash is in a pickle, or if Bonnie, or her pokemon are in trouble. She literally jumped up and did a front flip to catch Eevee in her hands, what's not to like really?

No development at all only decides what she wants to do because of ash she is hopeless and is a bad role model,making you think you have to cook and dress in pink all the time. She is weak and prissy. My opinion

Overhated? More like OVERRATED. - dels

I like Ash. Sure he's stupid sometimes but that's every main character from this type of anime, and that doesn't bother me... He loses because the plot asks for it, so he can go to other regions. - Liinde

This noob is hated but also overRATED

Ash suck, he's so dumb and annoying, He's not even a strong pokemon trainer, I gonna hate Ash forever after! - darthvadern

Lol, that was an immature comment I made, but seriously, when will he age and learn the fact that Raichu is stronger than Pikachu? - darthvadern

Damn, if you hate ash then why watch pokemon when he's the main protagonist?

Iris is actually the most overhated character in the show and she doesn't deserve it. People constantly complain about how she keeps calling Ash a kid. Come on people, it's a FLAW. You hate her for callin Ash a kid, but loves Misty for yelling at him? It just doesn't add up. I'd rather be called a kid than to be yelled so much. Seriously, where's your logic. In my opinion NONE of the main characters in Pokemon deserves that much hate. While I have favorites (Jessie, James, Ash and May) they're all great characters and a varied bunch for everyone to love, whichever is your favorite is supposed to make you happy as a fan. So why show so much hate and ruin everything for other fans? It's ok to not like something, but you don't have to be an ass about it. But while she's not in my top 5 (she'd be 9th though) Iris is the most overhated Pokemon character ever and the one I feel like defending most because she deserves better. You call Iris annoying, over and over. But it's YOU who are the ...more

Iris is easily the most overhated character in Pokemon- no. The most overhated character in an anime I've seen. Sure she calls Ash a kid, so what, that's way better than beating him up and yelling at him constantly like Misty did. I don't hate or even dislike Misty FYI. And Ash does act like a dumb child at times, so she isn't wrong either, unlike beating him up who wasn't justified from Misty besides Tsundere crap. Besides calling him a kid, which can also be seen as playful teasing by the end of the Unova series, she's never done anything bad to him. She cheers on him, supports him and doesn't abuse him when he feels sad like Serena did. I've also noticed a lot of hate for the Gen 5 in general, so maybe that is why she is hated while Misty is loved. But that's biased crap! I mean, I think we all have our biased moments, but at least admit that you're biased, there's nothing wrong with being biased as long as you don't claim you're right and everyone else is wrong.

TL:DR: I ...more - Liinde

Iris is actually a great character and deserves a lot more love. - dels

Why do people hate her? Sure, she calls Ash a kid sometimes, but she does have a point most of the time.

Brock is nowhere near overhated. - Rue

There are good reasons to not like Cilan and there are also those stupid reasons like how he "replaced Brock" - Rue

1 reason steenee

Mallows good though why so high on the list? - Pokemonsonicmaster

Deserves hate. - InklingSethO

Finely a Pokémon sun and moon character but I prefer lana

Accurate.

As much as I dislike Alain, I'll admit he's overhated. Especially after his league battle with Ash. - Rue

HE IS NOT OVERHATED! But he is selfish!

I'll admit that Alain deserves a second chance of what happened back at the Kalos League. Those bitchy ass fans of Ash Ketchum were whining and complaining about Ash losing the league and they don't know when to keep their god damn mouths shut!

To be honest, I do like Ash and Alain equally, but I think that Alain is overhated because of what happened back there. enough said. - EllyMacaroni

Yes she is

cheater - Froakieproakie

Serena is overhated, May is not hated but not as much as Serena

She has a Yonnger Brother Max

She Is So Cute From Pokemon Movie 3
