Another unpopular opinion of the anime: Charizard's disobedience costs Ash the league match was just bad for me. It is one thing to lose by having all your pokemon knocked out but it is another when your pokemon decides to cost you a match. Not cool in my opinion.
I agree that was a humiliating defeat for Ash, but I feel it's one that he brought it upon himself. After all, he was warned several times about Charizard's attitude problem and he never really brings him on to the League till bad fortunes put him in a situation where he has to call out the disobedient dragon to the field.
It's a hard thing to watch and stomach but in the end, it does open a story arc where Ash has to regain his Charizard's obedience and respect in the Orange Islands, which in my opinion makes up for the loss at the Indigo League.
