Guys, ever had that moment where you wanted "that thing" to happen only to discover the writers ruined it for you?
I remember wanting Hilda be the new girl Ash travels with in Unova only to discover they chose Iris due to her age similarity with Ash.
And I hated it when Ash's Water starters never evolved, it sucks.
Not to forget Ash's Fire starters getting too much focus in most regions, it made his Grass and Water starters stale.
Getting rid of Ambipom really ruined me, then they go and replace it with Togekiss.
Also, I had a vision of Oshawott being Ash's main Unova starter but then they went ahead and revealed Tepig was evolving first and that annoyed me cos that means they're focusing on Fire starters again. Ash needs an evolving Water starter soon (if Oshawott doesn't evolve they might give him an evolved Water starter in 6th Gen).
And not to forget having some main character not having many evolutions on their team. Ash's Johto team and Dawn's team were notable cases (Dawn should have evolved Piplup and Buneary).
Here's my thoughts on what I didn't like:

Here's my thoughts on what I didn't like:
Spoiler:
Kanto
- Ash getting good Pokemon like Primeape, Haunter and Butterfree only to release them.
- Bulbasaur deciding against evolving.
- Krabby/Kingler not getting enough apperances.
- Charizard disobeying Ash.
Orange Islands
No comment.
Johto
- Too many fillers.
- Only one starter evolving (Chikorita)
- Misty not winning the Whirl Cup.
- Ash's team was handled badly.
- Gym Leaders' Pokemon not matching game counterparts.
Hoenn
- No main rival outside of league.
- Ash's team was handled badly.
- Ash not getting Mudkip.
- May not getting Swablu.
- Max sometimes bothered me.
Battle Frontier
- Ash's team was handled badly.
Sinnoh
- Ash not getting Hippopotas.
- Nando being ignored for most of the saga.
- Ambipom being released, she was too awesome to go.
- Togekiss as a last-minute addition to Dawn's team.
- Dawn's team was handled badly (too many of her Pokemon remained unevolved).
- One year gap of fillers between Snowpoint and Sunyshore Gyms.
- Brock not having a big role.
- Dawn not getting a Grass-type.
- Paul being rude towards most characters.
- Some of Paul's Pokemon didn't appear much (especially Nidoking and Hariyama).
- Torterra always losing.
Unova
- I was thinking Oshawott would be the main starter but no, they decided to evolve Tepig first (I want Oshawott to evolve!).
- Third time Ash's Fire starter gets too much focus.
- Rivals not appearing often.
- Trip's Snivy evolved too quickly.
- No Team Plasma due to earthquake/tsunami, now I get the episode numbers confused.
- Roggenrola not getting enough battles before evolving.
- Tranquill not getting enough battles and now they've decided to evolve her into Unfezant.
- Third Fire starter abandoned by another Trainer (we've already had Charmander and Chimchar, now Tepig?), it's becoming stale.
- Elesa having a Tynamo (they're so weak!)
- Bianca's Minccino being male (Minccino are more common as females)
- Ash not getting a Steel, Psychic or Ghost-type yet (we need him to have caught all types at some point).
- Ash catching Krokorok (he already has a Ground and Dark-type).
- Not having Hilda be Dawn's replacement.
- Cheren not appearing (in every media where Bianca appears, he is seen with her)
- Ash getting good Pokemon like Primeape, Haunter and Butterfree only to release them.
- Bulbasaur deciding against evolving.
- Krabby/Kingler not getting enough apperances.
- Charizard disobeying Ash.
