I've always loved how James is constantly befriending Pokemon in the anime and how the Pokemon just genuinely love him. Even when they bite him you can tell it's out of affection, they are Pokemon after all. He went from being a lonely rich boy to, despite being a bad guy, being around people and Pokemon he cares about.

I may be taking it too seriously. But Pokemon is old and is basically along with Dragon Ball, JoJo's as very influential. So I don't think it's fair to call Ash "a generic shounen protagonist". When he along with other characters Inspired the Trope.
