10. Robert - Hoenn, Winner of Hoenn Grand Festival

This guy's not so much a bad character as he's just in an odd position. After Drew beat May in the semi-finals of her first contest, Drew went on to lose to this guy - so it's pretty clear that he knows what he's doing. At that point you think, ok, this guy's one of those one-episode Pokemon characters who we're never going to see again. Not so. Robert appears at the Hoenn Grand Festival... and wins the whole thing - but at the same time does something terrible. You see, Robert gave Ash's Snorunt (easily the best comic relief Pokemon on his team at the time) the confidence to use Ice Beam. Which, after being used in a battle against TR, allows Snorunt to evolve into the boring, expressionless Glalie. That's unforgiveable.
