Top 10 Worst Pokemon Characters from the Anime Series

The Top Ten
1 Paul

Paul should not be allowed to be a Pokemon trainer he forces his Pokemon to battle to the point of exausion, he verbly and physically abuses them and when they lose or don't preform to his standards he kicks them to the curb including Chimchar who he pushed too far then decided to abandon him because he thinks its pointless to keep on training him.

What Paul being a cruel traine rdoesn't make him a bad character in my opinion its just good writing in my opinion.

He hates his brother, 'enough said.

2 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 ...read more.

Wears luscious clothes and ties her Pokemon (Fennekin) with a long bow causing it to trip and then fall
Then cries over it
*Something that's not understandable because
1. Fennekin didn't even get hurt
2. It was not battling or doing something important
3. Just walking as a fashion model
*What's Funny
1. The Pokemon of other girls fall multiple times while battling or practising but they never show it off
2. They get up numerous times during battling and that yellow little one only tripped and she showed it off like an intense defeat
3. Acted like it was a hard hard loss going into pathetic mode
*And May herself slipped and fell during her first contest
But she acted cool and shook it off
Performed at her best and even proved herself to Drew
But Serena
Oh! ! PATHETIC
She can do nothing on her own
Just thinks of what Ash said, what he did etc.
No character of her own at all!

I know she had to take care of the gym, but why couldn't Korrina have been the traveling female protagonist? She was so much better than this walking bland pile of nothingness that idiots gawk over.

The game tried so hard to gain more female players(female playable characters, female champions, Zinnia etc.)& then the anime slapped us with this bland, useless, Typical barbie girl.

It's even more disgusting how the fans call her waifu. I wish she never come back again.

Serena is the best pokemon character fact not opinion

3 Damien

Really he should be paul. There was no time where Paul LAUGHED at the thought of a Pokemon DIEING!

Damien abandoned charmander from bieng too weak left him out in the rain and almost died and didn't even care.

4 Tommy's Dad

Tommy's Dad is the whole reason why he ended with the kangaskans after holding him as a baby out of moving helicopter just so he can get a better look at the Pokemon and he drops him luckily tommy had a parachute and landed safety.

Hate on Serena all you want. She is actually a great character, unlike this degenerate.

This father is just a complete dumbass in my opinion!

5 Nastina

She tried to build a hotel over the home of a group of tentacool and tentacruel then tried to have them destroyed which made them even angrier and almost destroyed the city until Misty convinced them to stop but even after all that she continues her attack and gets sent flying.

6 Mr. Mayor

As a kid he abandoned his bulbasaur because it wouldn't evolve by putting him in a box and threw him the river that ended up in the sewers and grew into a giant and terrorised the citizens, the worst part about it when bulbasuar returned he was still happy see him however because he's the Mayor and doesn't want to look bad he orders his men to attack bulbasaur.

7 Stella

She's an abusive Pokemon Circus trainer who pushed her Mr. Mime too far and he quit.

8 Princess Allie

Another spoiled brat who thinks everythings hers, she takes the pokeflute from lord Shabano's that suppose to wake Snorlax for the festival and even after Ash beats her for the flute she still refuses to give it back.

9 Nurse Joy Nurse Joy is a fictional character in the Pokemon Universe who works at the Pokemon center in almost every major city who tends to the Pokemon brought in by trainers after battle.

She hates water Pokemon and yet she works at a Pokemon center spicifaclly made for water Pokemon which makes no sense, she doesn't hide the fact that she hates water Pokemon she even uses a water suit so she doesn't have to touch them which really upsets Misty who dreamed of coming to Lake Lucide to have her water Pokemon treated by Joy only find out she's a fraud, even aftet she loses her suit and is force to calm down Garydose she still hates water Pokemon she shouldn't even call herself a Joy she's a disgrace to the Joy family.

She is an idiot. If you don't like water Pokemon then don't hang around with them!

She hates water Pokemon? I never knew that!

10 James's Parents

They fake their deaths so James would come back be forced to marry the bride from hell Jesiebel.

I'd rather have peter griffin as a parent in my opinion.

The Contenders
11 Max

He such know it all

12 Ash Ketchum

This moron catches pokemon to only leave them behind later. His biased gay love for Pikachu is annoying. He also has God complex as if he is the one who can do anything. Even though he himself is still alive because of Misty and Brock. He also remarked obnoxious comments about women who uses perfume. Sexist much!
Gary will make a more interesting protagonist than him.

Annoying, boring and has a obnoxious and loud fanbase

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!.

Cilan is the worse in my opinion. He's extremely annoying and unlikeable. Seriously the worst replacement for Brock, worse than Tracey.

14 Harley

Harley Is the best. I am glad he proved to May that how dumb he actually is.

Harley tries to make May lose. And he also tried to sabotage her.

15 Jesse

Phh Jessie didn't make it to the simi finals thank god serena beat her ass up in the simi finals but people at the kalos audience will not able to remember Jessie's beauty they will like serena aria and the girls at the performers specialy not Jessie she's out she will not be a winner kalos queen

16 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.

18 Butch

Don't you mean Biff?

19 Hoopa Hoopa, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
20 Drew

People are always shipping him with May. How can anyone like him? He is so annoying.

We posted the same about May.

21 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.

Misty is so annoying! She follows ash for no reason and abuses ash and even ignored him when he was cold. She's so mean and she's the worst Pokegirl ever, she's so ugly even more sickening then Serena, and here comes the whole Danny part where you say Misty likes Danny yep course she may like him but I just... I hate her so much... Ok I really have no words at a chilly midnight

Weakest gym leader ever. Worst character in the entire anime. No development. No purpose. Garbage.

22 Gary
23 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.
24 May

She burnt Ash to crisp with Ember and people are okay with it.
Hello! that was physical assault!
And don't even forgive the episode where she acted like a self centric jerk towards Ash's offer...and she nags at Max way to much even though Max has a bigger brain than she will ever have. She's also an lame butt.a wussy, coward and worthless damsel. She was hardly a girl that anyone can idolise because her character was so dumb and lazy that they had to throw Max in it to work out the gaps. All of her rivals are ten times stronger and more interesting than her.

Just because she wasn't as hyper active and mean to Ash so often like Misty was doesn't mean those horrible things she did to Ash should be forgotten. Ash saves her. She barely does anything in return...and she wasn't even interesting. I am glad when Dawn came. She totally outshine May in every way. Besides May acts like a jerk towards people on certain episodes. But since she has titles. People like her.

Whats so bad about may? Because she replaced Misty? Misty wasn't doing much by the time she elft may always ahd soemthig to do in my opinion.

25 Unown Unown is a Psychic type Pokémon from the Johto region, taking on the form of letters and punctuation. It is often considered the weakest Pokémon, with low stats and access to only one move, Hidden Power (which can be learnt by nearly every Pokémon anyway)
