Game Theory: What is Ash Ketchum's REAL Age? (Pokemon)

[@dollove5751]

Me: everyone! This is not a drill! I repeat!

[@JamJam-dv7jf]

Ash holds an everstone, he cant age. He will be 10 forever. xd Edit: But I have a theory on something: In sun and moon, ash joined the pokemon school near the start of the school year or something. Its probably been atleast a few months he has stayed in alola before returning to kanto. At the end of sun and moon in the extra scenes, you see professor burnet pregnant and now in pokemon journeys we see the baby so its probably been 8 months since the birth. So, the time in alola + the time during the birth. But dont forget that when Ash went back to Alola was episode 37, now its over episode 54. So, theoretically, if you add all of the time spent between it, it’s probably been a year and Ash SHOULD of had a Birthday. Also, don’t forget the 6 series before alola and journeys which adds EVEN MORE TIME in a year. But, knowing Pokémon, ash will stay 10 forever which means the baby will never have a birthday or anyone else.

He also has seen Ho-oh in the anime/show (whatever you want to call it) which he can wish to become the best by there is rules obviously he just can't say I wish to be the best and get a legendary pokemon at his grasp hes most likely dreaming all of it and what happens in dreams you never age in it but in reality hes most likely in a coma

[@helios24601]

Wait so Ash is almost 11 but in Ep. 1 Ash says "Now that I'm 10 I can finally get a Pokémon license". To be this implies Ash has just become 10 only a few days ago. After all, knowing Ash's personality, would he really wait for 10 months after his birthday before he began his journey? But since Gary was also starting his journey on the same day I guess this implies there was a specific date where trainers could come and get their starters and they can't just go immediately to Prof. Oak on their 10th birthday.

[@TheSilverfishProject]

4:14 this is why I love Pokemon. Take the character in my pfp for example. His name is Silver, at a young age him and Green (who you’ve mentioned before) were kidnapped by a masked man and forced to a life of abuse and servitude. They were turned into warriors, thieves, and just a bad bunch. Silver and Green manage to escape and encounter Red and Gold respectively. The manga doesn’t really treat Green or Silver as heroes or villains, rather as troubled individuals who are trying their best to overcome their trauma. If you look deep enough, Pokemon has a lot of love and soul put into it. It makes me feel like I’m not alone in my pain.

Hey Mat Pat,I did a video on this a little while ago and Ashs age will be by the time you finnish this less than it is at the end of this video. As you've put in your description the Pokemon Multiverse explains it all and the Ashs from Kanto-Sinnoh are 1 Ash (Or Ash A). Unova reboots with a different Ash and Kalos Ash seems to be a more grown up and a better battler being connected (Ash B) There then is the Alola Ash that would be an Ash C which would seem to be a reset because Ash is back in school and this ash may also be the same Ash presented in the I choose you movie which explains a slightly different history for him or could be yet another Ash. Also I noticed you didn't use the Pikachu short from the first movie which celebrates 1 year since Ash met Pikachu. :) Best - Toby

Pretty sure that's a dubism. Dubs are never reliable source material for anything.

He also didn’t have chikorits and caught totodile in the same episode mistys poli wag evolves. He actually catches lotsd in advanced and it was not in the season as it stayed with his parents.

[@max10dler]

Well, in roughly 500 episodes Ash grew about 5 years older. So, with about another 580 episodes to go, I’d estimate Ash is probably around 20 years, 9 months, 18 days old as of the newest episode. Not sure how accurate my math was there, but that’s my final answer; 20 years and some change.

[@jacobteasdale2189]

DogoByte yeah it is honestly kind of disappointing I went into the math and in 20 seasons he's about 20 because it is about 9 years in those 20 seasons

[@oldaccount2275]

What he said. That's my guess.

[@alexiswelsh5821]

I've always shipped Brock with Misty. I thought Ash would end up with either May or Dawn. Although now that I know that May was 10 and Ash was 14 and 15 during their time together, I'm starting to get 2nd thoughts. Same with Dawn, she was 10 and Ash was at least 15.

[@silly_.rabbit2]

May x drew Dawn x that red haired kid who I forgot

[@silly_.rabbit2]

Dawn x Kenny (tf is that name) penguinshipping

[@RacketEPIC]

Yeah, The Only 2 That make sense to Ship with is only Serena (Because they were the Same Age Confirmed in an XY Flashback Episode) and Misty (Who was 11 during the 1rst Season 1 Gen 1)

It’s almost like a challenge at this point. Scott doesn’t want him to be right, so he keeps adding more to the series out of spite.

[@bdog8858]

TnT edgell Never had one customer. Still in business against heavily popular restaraunt. LOGIC. Times 10

[@dorkdude]

Well, I know it will have to be over one thousand because Ash and his friends encounter Jirachi in the movie Jirachi The Wish Maker. If you didn’t know Jirachi only appears for a week every thousand years, yet Ash encounters it once more in an episode in the Unova (I hope I spelled that right 😬) region. Meaning that I just helped you out a bit and he must be over one thousand.

[@AnotherRandomChild]

Your comment is underrated XD. By the way, it's Unova

[@orangehasdied]

I've noticed that often shows say "x appears once every x years" and stuff, but i also noticed they clearly break that rule a lot...

[@vizualdrieamz]

Are the movies canon though?

[@mediocregamer2484]

Drizzy's Art i think the movies are canon but like the show and the games, theyre canon in their own timelines. Cant remmeber the word for it, but their canon as long as they dont directly reject or contradict the mainline series or something like that. Double check that one tho, i could be wrong

[@klop4228]

I assumed the movies were canon to the anime. Might be wrong, though

[@The_musical_gamer]
