Well, for one thing, I don't think she'd be allowed to travel with Ash, because the anime can only focus on one Pokemon Trainer, apparently. She'd probably end up as Ash's rival.

Well, my thoughts are simply that there would probably be a clash of interests between her and Ash, trainer or not since she still has other things she wants to accomplish (shopping for one). Ash has had development in Kanto and Johto. But with two trainers on the scene, there could be reduced development for him (and even May as well). Overall, I'd say her being a coordinator was a breath of fresh air, that battling wasn't the only thing to do in the Pokemon Universe.
All of this is built on the premise that May even travels with him, because it would have been very likely otherwise that she would have been more of a tamer rival or a side or even a one-off character.

I love that there are so many people with different perspectives, or so many people opposed to the idea too (kind of).
First, I would have LOVED if May became a trainer (even a rival). That would be new for the pokemon anime, and would have been interesting to see. I would have loved to see May as a recurring character, either becoming a rival to Ash, or Ash even helping her out (since she's a beginning trainer), as we see in the anime.
First, I'd say, I don't see May traveling with Ash initially (this is my idea for a pokemon fanfiction I've been developing for a long time).
But I see May trying to get through things herself, with her Torchic. She doesn't like the idea of trianing, so she was mainly just there (became a trainer), to go shopping, travel the world. I would love to see her grow closer to her Torchic, when she realizes the real world and being around pokemon can be really dangerous, and there won't be people to protect her. She would have to learn on her own how to get through things with her Torchic for the beginning. Until she goes to the first gym, where she watches another challenger's match (or she goes to the gym first since she would most likely have a head start). She loses her first match, but then she sees a match with another trainer: Ash Ketchum. That's how they first meet in my head if May was a trainer. She is surprised to see that. The same thing can happen where Ash wins his badge. And then May talks to him, and is like baffled by his abilities (lol). She may either ask him for assistance or for help. And it's with this she starts actually finding battles interesting. He introduces her to the cool parts of battling and earning gym badges etc.
IF this is anime wise stuff. I could totally see May being a rival. She watches Ash and it makes her want to improve. I can see her being like Sapphire in the manga, if she was a rival to ASh (like we never saw a true girl rival, and May would be amazing). Because Ash isn't like Drew, or isn't like Gary or whatever. He would be a nice rival, who would actually try to help her out/ may not even see her as a rival at first. but then it's not until halfway through, where he really battles her, and she can hold her own (and they can even end in a tie), where he really starts to see how well she has become in such a short amount of time. And May would smile triumphantly, knowing it's because his initial assistance that got her to motivation she needed to get better etc. And even through out, May could show up/ be recurring throughout, and like it would show cute development between them as May starts seeing Ash as a friend, while Ash starts seeing her as a rival (taking her seriously as a serious competitor). Like omg this progression could be soooo amazing! ;___; <333
LIKE OMG I WOULD LOVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!

First of all, if May was a Pokémon Trainer, her team would absolutely WRECK Ash's in Hoenn.... LOL. I would have loved to see mega-blaziken vs mega-sceptile if they had megas back then.... That would've been lit. I agree with everyone's opinion about her travelling with Ash though, if the writers decided to make her into a trainer, I can't see her travelling with Ash without them focussing less on the development for both characters. She could definitely have fit in as a reoccurring rival, because Ash didn't really have any in Hoenn, sadly. Also Wubbzy , your idea about May seeing Ash battle at a gym is so cute! ^^

If she was a trainer, you can literally say good-bye to her after a couple of episodes and then only say 'Hi' only a couple of times during the series as the writers wouldn't be interested, nor given the budget, to really attempt gym battle after gym battles. They literally were stretched thin on the Contests.
