Personally, I think no. He dosen't evolve his Pokemon, he gets into other peoples buisness and hes clumsy.

Is Ash a Good Pokemon Trainer?

No, just lucky.
I don't know anybody that'd say yes. :S
Dark Marc, do you think Pokemon would be worth watching if every time Ash battled he'd win in one hit? That's why they put some epic, weird battles 
.
In general, he is a good Pokemon trainer (only in the anime), because you know what the Prof. says (true power lies within friendship or something like that).
~Magma King~: Do you know me?

To be honest I don't think hes advanced much as a trainer since the start of the series. Although in battle fronteir pikachu beat a REGICE. In dp pikachu lost to a MAKICARP. lol
I am going to make the assumption when you ask "Is Ash a Good Pokemon Trainer?" you mean in the competition sense. He has been very lucky at times. But doesn't show alot of consistency. He does care about his pokemon. He is willing to learn and change. He is honest. He is head-strong and that is good and bad. His unwillingness to evolve pokemon, could either mean he is not dedicated enough to be a champion or cares about what his pokemon want. Look at Pikachu, from a straight battling perspective Pikachu should have been a Raichu a long time ago. But from a personality perspective what makes Pikachu special, would be gone. The answer is subjective based upon what you value.

No, it needs a Light Orb. Pikachu is actually more competitive than Raichu =S
It seems he has some hacked Pokemon .
All he cares about is 'caring Pokemon' and being their friends. He always gets into other peoples buisness and all that. Gary can teach him a lesson or two.

I don't think he is a good trainer because he makes mistakes that he made when he first started.
He's a loser. His Pokémon are weaklings. He's just lucky.

Ash isn't terrible, he makes himself look like that by making foolish mistakes than even an average n00b wouldn't make.
Random Trainer says, "Go Gyrados! Use Hydro Pump!"
Chimchar was hit, wait a critical hit!
Ash screams, "Come on Chimchar, you can do it!"
*Chimchar gets up slowly
Ash proclaims, "Yay! Now use Ember!"
It's not very effective...
Gyrados fainted!

Hax much?

I have just realized that everyone on Pokebeach (broad statement lolz) does not know ANYTHING about marketing. :|
Ever think about how long the anime's been around? Ash makes mistakes, not only because he's a learning and REALISTIC character, but because marketing knows that new kids watch the show ten years later. That is why you see so many reitterated arcs and Ash suddenly making dumb mistakes.
Because most younger children are now watching the DP saga, we could essentially call the it Rebirth of the anime because it treads over similar storylines and engages children with the same kind of stuff we saw from Ash in the beginning. Ash is an underdog, so this might be why sometimes he loses and sometimes he wins against ridiculous things. Sometimes the toughest challenges can be overcome, but the smallest things can make us stumble a little.
Think about it, people. Ash's background doesn't exactly make sense, because he doesn't always recognize things and makes silly mistakes; but this is for a new viewer's benefit, not yours. Also, you have to take into consideration that the anime doesn't really always follow the game rules, so Pikachu might NOT be uber-leveled, and perhaps its more about reaching a point of strength physically, mentally, etc. I dunno, I ain't the creator, but I figure Pikachu isn't on the same level merit system.

I agree with you, yes but if it was aimed for slightly older children aimed at my age that would be entertaining. I think it would be a good idea to have a youger children Pokemon anime and a older children based anime.
Ash is an ubern00b. if it's all about being nice to pokemon, why isn't brock the champion? he's got a crobat (friendship evolution)!
Ash is the biggest n00b of all time. And that's saying something! How the heck does he get al those badges?!?!
