It is the goal of Ash Ketchum, as well as many other Pokémon Trainers, to become a Pokémon master. However, exactly what this position is and how one attains it is vague and never fully explained.
It has been theorized that when one becomes a Pokémon champion of a regional Pokémon League, one attains the title of master — however, this cannot be correct, as Ash won the Orange League without attaining the position. Indeed, other League champions haven't ever been referred to as Pokémon masters, either. Another theory is that, in the context of the anime, Pokémon masters are the members of the Elite Four. However, even these characters are not always referred to as Pokémon masters when Ash meets them.
According to the very first official promotional video, one of the tasks to become a Pokémon master is to capture all Pokémon. In theory, Ash almost had all of the Pokémon in the world on his side in Pokémon 2000, but did not officially own them. This task, however, would in practice seem impossible, thinking of legendary Pokémon.
Aside from the legendary issue, it would be impractical for anyone in the anime to capture and maintain at least 493 different creatures. Unlike the Pokémon games or Pokémon Special manga, in which Pokémon can be stored in suspended animation as computer data — Pokémon in the anime need to be fed and exercised regularly to maintain their health. Such a task would be impossible for anyone to perform alone, or even with many assistants or helpers. A worldwide community containing at least one of each is logically possible, considering that Professor Oak had a research facility which doubled as a living ground for the Pokémon. This may have resulted in the franchise's dropping of the familiar "Gotta Catch 'em All!" motto.
According to the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga, however, which is based on the anime, a Pokémon master is simply an elite Trainer who is considered a professional and regularly takes part in League competitions.
