Whilst I agree that he shouldn't be an Extraordinary Genius, he should be at least a Genius in Pokemon Battles. His tactics and mind process broke a robot made for Pokemon battles, he has beaten several Cynthia, Leon and Steven, all of whom have a solid decade (or more) of battling under their belt and who have developed unique strategies that dominate their opponents. Ash at the end of Journeys ranked at the very top of the World Championship, going above 10000 of the most skilled trainers. During Journeys he outplayed several E4 members or those on a similar level to them. He has adapted to and outsmarted over 40 Gym leaders, all of whom fight on pretty much a constant basis.
I think that Ash should have different ratings though. In gen 1 through 3 I can see Gifted which shifts further and further as in Battle Frontier and Gen 4 he faces opponents who are extremely talented or well above him in raw power. I'd say
Gifted (Indigo League to Advanced Battle) | At least Gifted (Battle Frontier to end of Unova) | Genius (XY to Current)
