I doubt many people think less of the Pokemon anime because its characters are not growing older. It's just funny that they don't. It's fun to meme about it. Same way it's fun to meme about Ash effortlessly holding a Pokemon that weights 999.9kg in his hands.
With shows like Simpsons or South Park characters staying the same age is obviously less noticeable, since those shows don't tell a continuous story. Like, 90% of the Simpsons episodes might as well be non-canon.
