In fairness Ash can be damn well insightful when his mind is focused. And I suppose the iron butt monkey role can be double edged, because it means he can also take a lot of stuff aimed at him (which was helpful in training Rockruff).
I do admit I would like to see some more non-battling talents learned by him after six+ regions, but hey, nearly every character is a 'one hit wonder' anyway. (He is good at riding I suppose, it was the one challenge in Episode 2 he only lost by a margin at).
This is something that could come into play this series though. The whole point of him going to school is to learn how to do things he can't already.
