Yeah I really like that char and I do understand the fact that you question me on how biased I maight be.
But I really like Brock too and should be very "biased" there too. Even then I consider Orange Islands like a good saga.
Misty leaving the cast is a big reason I don't like Hoenn as much but it is tons of other things too.
-The Pokemons does not feel like Pokemon for me. I guess this maybe makes me "biased" but what the hell if we keep going like this we are all biased and it comes to personal taste.
- Emotions: Worse for sure. The connection between mostly Ash and the Pokemons he has feels not as big as they used to in the early parts of the anime
- I like when Ash do have more of a "rivalry" thing with gym leaders in Kanto then this friendly thing he has with pretty much everyone in all the other sagas (but a combination of both would be good too)
- Re learning much stuff. Seriously after 300 episodes he is trying to catch Pokemons by just throwing the ball (after telling May she can't do it that way)
- He wanna become a champion but refuse to actually use the strongest Pokemon he has (Charizard) in the Hoenn League
- Less fun in generall. Also personal taste (like everything) but I do think Misty adds a extra spice that is really fun to watch.
One thing that is really good in Hoenn though (Yes Im not completly biased like you/others maybe think)
- Gave May more episodes as a own char then they gave Misty. Even if I don't like contests (Im not a fan of "judgeing" sports in generall so it maybe is because of that) it is good they try to develope the char but then Max should have had a bit more but yeah great thing they tried to make May a better char
And yeah probably something else too but I can't really remember atm.
Edit:
Yeah the fact that they don't have as many "stupid wins" in Hoenn is also good. Ash Pikachu had tons of random victorys by aiming his thunder to the horn/tongue etc
Some strategys Ash use in Hoenn while fighting is also pretty good and shows that he is actually learning much
