No way. Ash is shown to be impulsive, selfish, and he constantly picks on his team mates. He also tends to lash out on people. In Destiny Deoxys, Ash got mad and lifted Tory by his shirt. Ash does seem to become nicer in later seasons such as the Gen 6 and Gen 7 seasons, but that doesn't excuse how he's portrayed in the earlier seasons. In general he's just a very flawed character, and there are characters in the show that are less flawed than him, so he doesn't stand out.
