I personally hate how Ash's Pikachu lost to a Meowth of all Pokémon, and I find satisfaction in the fact that with Harrison, Ash was kinda able to strike him from beyond defeat and cause him to lose his next battle by completely exhausting his crucial ace Pokémon, while Tyson just had to be ultra super perfect and win the whole tournament. So yeah. To me, Harrison was easily a better roadblock for Ash than Tyson.
I'm not sure how Tyson is ultra super perfect by winning the whole tournament. He didn't crush Ash like Tobias did. Their battle was a bit too rushed, but it came down to the wire and aside from his Meowth, none of his Pokemon really stood out. I can understand not liking that Pikachu lost to Meowth, but I don't see the problem with having Tyson win the Hoenn League. It is better than not even knowing who won it. The fact that Ash lost to the trainer who eventually won the tournament probably made his defeat easier for fans to deal with too.
