He also misunderstands Bianca's humor often, to her dismay. While Professor Juniper describes him as being very honest, she also remarks that he can be 'a little difficult'; his impatience in particular is often seen throughout the earlier stages of his journey. He is also described as being quite judgmental by Alder.
In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Cheren represents those who pursue ideals—more precisely, as N pointed out in Chargestone Cave, the ideal of strength. His goal is to become the Champion and he always strives to become stronger. However, when Alder asked him for the first time why he strives to become stronger, he was quite unsure of his reasons. He then starts to ponder to himself how to do so, something that Alder said he used to do with his partner Pokémon as well and what exactly it means to be strong. Alder also remarked that Cheren is a lot like Marshal who was in the same boat as him which is why he became Alder’s student.
And that’s just him in BW, his role is taken a step further in BW2. There’s nothing wrong with how he was handled.
