Top Ten Most Underrated Pokemon Anime Characters
Iris wasn't that bad of a character. She had the most interesting premise of all the Pokegirls. She grew up surrounded by nature and then had to start her journey with a small dragon type. May and Dawn had famous parents, that is true. It doesn't seem to have affected Dawn much besides her goal. May wished she was closer with her father. Misty's biggest issue was teasing by her sisters. Serena lived a normal life until she decided to venture out into the real world.
Further more, the only constant complaint about her is her catchphrase. Can't you come up with anything else? As proven by the eighth gym battle of Unova, Iris does care about Ash, but like Misty she has a funny way of showing it. Unlike Misty she never physically slapped him. I know some people complain about her relationship with her Pokemon, but there aren't many good reasons to that.
She has shown nothing but love for Axew. I've seen no complaints about Emolga. Excadrill was a powerhouse, that is true, ...more
A character like Iris being chosen on Pokemon why the writers brought a new different character like her bring something different to the series damn other different girls. She's the only cover so far without a family and we don't know and no siblings and the family and she lives in the village enjoy the nature with other types of Pokemon.
Also just to let you know there's no such thing as factually overrated or underrated. They're more subjective terms. Whether they do deserve the praise or not is up to your opinion.
I like iris. Dragging is cool, and her rivalry between her and Georgia was great
He's the most underrated of the main characters so far, at least he's closer to the place he deserves unlike Brock and Jessie. I like Jessie, James, Brock, May and Cilan the most of the characters in the anime. But I don't judge underrated by order of favourite, I do in the order of getting ignored, misunderstood and/or the hateful attention they get. The Top 5 most underrated Pokemon characters are:
1. Tracey (ignored, often forgotten about)
2. Brock (similar to Tracy)
3. Jessie (painfully misunderstood)
4. Iris (similar to Jessie. doesn't make sense to me that she's so hated when Misty happens to be the most popular, they're very similar you know.)
5. Clemont and Bonnie (equally underrated, they're both ignored in favour of AshxSerena)
Yesssss. My gave out pokemon fabric had Tracy as a originate character and I like him more as a very result. Still no orangeshipping though.
I’m not going to go into the reasons why Dawn was the best female companion. May and Misty fans either say she is too girly or that she is a carbon copy of them (which isn’t true at all). I think DP was an underrated series as a whole to be honest.
BEST pokemon trainer FIGHT me
He was funnier than Brock
Man this guy is boss. He is miles smarter than ash and if it wasn't for That damm Infernape he probably could have won the sinnoh league
I don't think he's underrated. He abused his Pokemon.
Why isn't she higher? She's even more underrated than James. How Jessie is this far down and popular characters like Ash, Misty, May and Dawn only proves Jessie is an underrated one. You people don't even understand the meaning of the term underrated if this list is anything to go by, just like so many people doesn't understand the meaning of underrated. This is proof enough.
Jessie is way better than Serena!
She is stronger, determined, and brave.
Also she has a better personality than Serena just because she is Team Rocket so she had to steal others Pokemon.
More underrated than most of those who's currently within 1-13, so Jessie is too far down on the list. The CD drama story should be part of the episodes, maybe then the younger fans would understand her more.
Jessie is actually a lot more underrated than James, just go and see for yourself.
Well, well, well, I'm suprised I had to put her on here. The words (Underrated Pokemon Anime Character) were born when Mallow arrived because either everyone loved Lillie (Only good in the games) or Lana (Total Misty Clone).
Ash? UNDERRATED? I hope this is a joke
I said "Yep" as in Yes he is Underrated.
I am sick of seeing her being bashed and being number one on every negative Pokémon character list possible! Is she really THAT bad?!?!? Oh and there are a boatload of negative lists dedicated to hating on her. Oh, and she's number one on the worst character list AND the most overrated list. Man, she is so overhated, so I check that list and according to that list Ash is more overhated than her. Oh, and you can't defend her either because her haters will just attack you and accuse you of "armourshipping". I might watch the xy anime and see WHAT THE BEEP IS SO BAD ABOUT THIS CHARACTER! I mean there must be a reason she's so despised, right? Right? WRONG! She is a kind and polite innocent girl who respects her Pokémon and treats them equally unlike Ash who only cares about his stupid Pikachu and at the end leaves the rest there to rot.
A really good character. She's a big sister to Bonnie, and really likes her Pokemon. She's hated for no real reason besides being girly or having a crush on Ash. She doesn't rely on him after a while, and begins a more independent career.
Serena sucks, iris was always the best, she's close to nature, she can make medicine, she understands dragon type pokemon, she's amazing. Iris is great. Serena is useless, she's too girly like seriously, there's nothing wrong with being girly, but serena overdone it
Serena for Alola may be an annoying trend on Twitter, but in this website, she's getting a lot of hate. She's honestly not even much of a bad character. It's just how Amourshipping ruined her.
So you see here, Serena isn't the problem; it's just Amourshipping to blame.
Should be second on the list, the only other character harder to find fanfics and fanart of is Tracy.
I like that she eats a lot but never gets fat
I think most people like him because of Contestshipping, like me and hate him because of his ego at first and also non-Conestshippers. But aside from that he can also be sweet and cool!
Very underrated even though he was an interesting controversial rival. But he was overhated by advanceshippers. He's hair reminds me of cabbage.
I loved this character. Sad that he will never come back
James/Jessie/Meowth > Ash/Misty/Brock
EVERYONE hates the poor thing but me! The only reason I kept watching the anime.
