Okay, this is a difficult question to answer...
I never thought much about it, I think liking his character is so natural for me, I think everything, absolutely everything, how he gives himself to people and Pokemon, how he helps people through the way, how he changes the lives of Pokémon and trainers in the places he goes, not just his Pokémon, that's why I like episodes of the day (or fillers with him) so much, I like everything he's in engaged in the moment
Of course I have my problems with the series like everyone else
But I love his empathy with people, that's what he taught me the most, If I am who I am it is because of his kindness and perseverance, whether impatience or impact the way he is...it is perfect 💕✨
I like his sarcasm, I like it when he shows angry emotions or is just upset because of some problem, that's what makes him human and relatable
I also like it when he's silly and sensitive, he needs to keep up with his nonsense to look like Ash we know despite others complaining, I like it
Taking away which Ash is creative for combinations and movest is the biggest crime that his haters want 😭 I still don't understand this mentality, like how people want him to never do the strategies of battle style HE IS SMART AND DESERVES ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD
