Ash started out with a fresh, interesting, memorable personality. That gradually went away in Johto, though, then he got a bit of a facelift in Advanced as a more mature mentor figure. That one faded away too, especially in Diamond and Pearl where we only really saw personality from him when he was dealing with Paul. Yet again they've refreshed his character this season, but it seems like they've forgotten what made Ash in the first season so likable. Now he's just, as Iris would call him, a kid.
