Ok, I'm really confused why Best Wishes has a bad reputation. I watched the series again last week, and I see nothing wrong with it. I guess some people would be annoyed by Iris calling Ash a kid all the time(but she's telling the truth though). But everytime someone says "BW was the worst series ever" or something else along those lines I wonder why exactly is it terrible? I never heard anyone give a valid reason on why it was terrible. What exactly is wrong with it? I guess this might be consider one of the problems..

One problem is that Ash forgotten things that he clearly should know about. One example is when asked about Nurse Joy thing in Unova. However, in XY, when Serena asks about this, he remembered it. I can't think of all of the reasons from the top of my head.

It's not so much with Iris calling Ash a kid--it's more surprising he acted somewhat like a teenager during DP and maybe during AG--but like Platinum said, Ash not knowing things he knew and asked before was the main annoyance I believe, and I know it was mine. Also the fact that Pikachu lost to Trip's Snivy even though Zekrom sapped Pika's electric attacks, with Pika probably doesn't even need, AND the fact that Pika fainted so quickly, and eps. wise, its like 3-5 after battling a Latios. Also plus that to me, is just amazing, despite the possible...scars. XD I have no regrets that BW is my 3rd favorite series as well.

Also, ash (in my opinion) actually went backwards in development. I think this was because they lowered the age of the targeted audience. But, the one problem that alot of people had (which was kinda dawns fault) was iris. She was by NO means a bad companion. In fact, shes probably the cutest one. But in comparison to dawn and may (not misty bc she was honestly worse than iris) she lacked a lot of screen time thus she lacked in development which virtually destroyed her character potential. On top of that, she spent her time training excadrill and caught an emolga instead of trying to train axew or catch more dragons bc isn't her goal to be a dragon master? She doesn't really act on her goal which is my main problem with her. She's still in my top 3 Pokémon anime characters though

So what your saying is that one flaw of Dawn was that she was too good of a character which made Iris, in comparison, look bad.

I think another reason why BW had bad reputation was also the Unova League. In the Sinnoh League, Ash managed to beat a Darkrai and Latios. He made top 4 but in Unova, Pikachu got defeated by a Lucario and made top 8. He should have went further but nope. That's why I also think BW had a bad reputation.

Also his first match was against Trip which was a one on one, we don't get to see his other Pokémon and the one he did use, his Serperior, was beating up Pikachu until he used some combo move that one shot instant KO. Ugh!

I don't expect this to even be a excuse, so likewise I don't think many would agree with me.
The main reason I think Trip's Serperior pretty much got wasted after a combo attack was because...it was trained for offense. A Serperior's best stats are defenses and speed, and I know Trip's own Serperior fits the speed area. But Trip put emphasis on it's offensive capabilities, which isn't high unless you use Coil. Everytime Serperior or its pre-evolutions got knocked out, it was from at best, three attacks before fainting. Even Pikachu's randomized defense in the anime is better, even when it gets it's tail handed to him by a new starter or other weak Pokémon. I know the anime and games have vastly different stats for Pokémon, but generally the best stats for a Pokémon in-game are raised for move-sets in the anime.
In short, I think that Trip trained his Serperior to hit hard and fast, and for whatever reason, it's defenses just sucked as a result, and if it got hit by apparently anything, it's pretty much done for. Alder's Bouffloant scoring a One-Hit-KO(I think) is Justified,--get it?--especially with Sap Sipper activated, but another One-Hit-KO with Pikachu's combo attack, which while it might have been powerful, still shouldn't have knocked out a normal Serperior in one hit.
Again I don't expect this to count as an excuse for how bad BW was overall...although I do think DP contributes to BW being bad because DP was too good, which I don't mind and prefer in this case, and obviously our--more or less everyone who enjoyed DP--expectations are high for the next season/series to at least equal/rival the older ones in enjoyment or whatever, which it didn't because DP was--is--great and came before it, this instance being one of the few times--for me anyway--that the older is Serperior to the new.
Apologies for the puns
