I have noticed that Ash had matured a lot from Kanto to Unova. In Kanto, whenever he lost, he shed a few tears, like a normal 10 year old. In Johto, I could see he matured a tiny bit, and one of the later episodes of the Indigo League, it said that it had been a year since Ash has been in Viridian City, so that means that he is at least 11 years old by then. In Hoenn, his ambition of being a Pokemon master dwindled down a little bit, when he met May, because usually, he spent his supposed training time to mentor May for her contests. And in the Battle Frontier, his voice got lower (yes, I know the USA pokemon switched companies), but it is all derived from the Japanese Pokemon. Still, in Sinnoh, he seems MUCH for mature and he wasn't as ambitious as shown in the Kanto/Johto regions. And, now in Unova, in the first episode it says he was back to being a 10 year old, which I don't quite understand.
Personally, I really don't like the Unova Ash, as the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh Ash, but it was fun on how he evolved in maturity and Pokemon ambitions throughout the anime.
Also, it seems what traveling partners he is traveling with that affects his personality. For example, with Misty, he was getting into fights more, and he had more random outbursts. With May and Dawn, he was more of a mentor, and with Iris, he was getting into some fights.
