So, why the hate? Sure he's no Brock, but he wasn't any more annoying than most of the other main characters. At worst he was bland. At best he was more bearable than Ash used to be.
Brock had Pokemon and actually battled.
Tracey did not.
One of these fits better in the series.
Tracy didnt do anything. He had cool pokemon never battled.

His talent was cool, he was a more primitive version of Snap. His biggest issue was how weak he was, he didn't do too much battling. He also turned into a literal cuck for Misty and her sisters. On the plus side he got Misty in the end
We were all kids back then and were wondering why Brock got replaced by some fag with a sketch pad that didn't do anything.

If it's true that the writers only put him in because they thought Brock's character might have been a racist stereotype, then wouldn't it stand to reason the writers wouldn't have much for Brock to do in that story arc either? I mean, if it's basically just a pallet swap, it's not even Tracey's fault for being boring. It's not like Brock's pokemon would have been very well off around all that water either anyway.

Where did this come from?
Brock came back for Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. There was literally no reason for Tracey.
All I remember was that he had a thing with Daisy.

I've read that as well. After the Jynx fiasco, I think they were trying to play it safe and removed Brock as an overreaction. Then they realized nobody cared so they brought him back.

No one hates him. We just don't give a shit.

Rember his Scyther?
Possibly the strongest pokemon they had besides Charizard. Remember how it was so old that it hardly ever even battled and slept most of the time?
Yeah, even when he has one of the best pokemon he is still useless.

Tracy was a cunt.

His Scyther was old as in elderly. He only lasted for a few short moments at a time.

Remember when it was Ash who battled the Scyther and got it's hp low enough to capture and then Tracy comes out of nowhere and snakes it from Ash without giving a fuck?
I'll never understand why Ash decided to keep travelling with that bastard after that. I would have been livid.
