get replaced by 10 or 11 year old kids

[@Ponera-Sama]

Note: While Ash was almost 17 when Dawn started her Pokemon journey at age 10, May met Ash when he was 14, and Misty met him close to the start of the series, meaning Dawn is less than 7 years younger than Ash, May is 4 years younger, and Misty is around the same age as him if not older considering she was already a gym leader when Ash first met her. Please re-adjust your fanart accordingly.

[@bleh5047]

Can we just think about the massive amount of work MatPat did for this and the first episode of this video? He would have had to watch all the Pokemon episodes AND analyse them to find the little details that indicate towards what season it is and not to mention the additional research he did on the Japanese cities that the Pokemon regions are based on. Hats off to you MatPat. You are a legend.

[@shadow_shine3578]

Its pretty amazing

[@saitogaika838]

the only explanation is that humans are also like Pokemons and they have 4 forms. toddler , 10 year old, adult, and grandpa/grandma. so ash will always stay a 10 year old until a certain condition is acquired.

[@Hexafish]

Saito Gaika Why isnt this comment higher up

[@jennakay7041]

I've seen this theory! I don't know how much evidence their is for it but I've seen people posit that the people in pokemon "evolve" from baby to young kid to older kid/middle schooler to high schooler to adult to elder. A lot more stages than pokemon but hey. Also kind of fits with the earlier video where humans shared ancestry with pokemon? I'd be interested to see if there was enough basis for them to do a video on it at some point.

[@jon9969]

I also thought that the Pokémon world is completely different from ours, time works differently, let's say a year is over 1,000 day while still keeping the same rate of aging, thus ash could be much younger then he is in this theroy

[@heartoftheswag2534]

Saito Gaika age is connected to passage of time if you're gonna compare stages in human life cycle just remember you can still have unevolved lv 100 magikarp.

[@dragonband9749]

What if ask was always at level 100 so he couldn't evolve?

[@Shadamyfan-rs8xc]

What if Ash actually has a disease that prevents his body from aging past 10 years old?

[@punitvaity3617]

Intresting?

[@lunaitc]

That disease is called "being killed by Mew and Mewtwo just over a year into his journey and coming back wrong"

[@Monsterboy1199]

is Ash the Highlander of Pokémon ?

[@3chovine]

I think conditions that prevent/slow physical aging don't affect mental age. So would have to have both.

[@fbiagent..]

[@dansilvernight3021]

Before the Journeys series ends and we start the 9th gen, MatPat should do an update as to how old Ash is now since in Journeys we see summer and winter days

[@Kaiyou1691]

Ya know, if they had kept Ash’s age like you calculated, they could have had a good opportunity of making him more of a mentor figure for the other 10 year old trainers who are following him anyway

[@Noorboomboomshakalakaboom]

That would have worked waaayyy better. They could've made him also, a big brother who is about to graduate, type in his teeenage - young adulthood (15-19 years). To ease the transition. It would be like we are watching him grow up, and it is a bit of a present to all the viewers who watched pokemon, and played the games since they were little. I really like your idea, and it is better than having him restart to the age of 10 with 20 years of memories and experience.

[@ellieporter3270]

I think that’s what the manga does with its trainers

[@missilluminati3389]

They would still get shipped tho, Internet is weird

[@gameknight504]

and im pretty sure they dont even need to change his whole deal with being super excited in seeing new pokemon. in fact we as the viewer might see it as ash looking into a different path other than being a trainer like being a researcher or such

[@purin586]

I bet Ash still doesn't understand type effectiveness. Making him a mentor will be funny

Can we have a moment to just appreciate how much work MatPat does to make these videos? Like, he's hunting down videos that ONLY AIRED ON JAPANESE AIRLINES, and figuring out the ripest times for fruits, and watching EVERY VIDEO to see the deerlings, and hunting down EVERY MENTION of a seasonal festival or event, and looking at WEATHER PATTERNS. Like, the DEDICATION is astounding. Keep doing what you're doing, know that we all know and appreciate the hard work you do :) Also, I have been watching these videos for, like, four days straight - I CANNOT get enough of them, they are what keeps me alive and I love them 🥰

I'm honestly shocked that the anime has such a consistent progression of seasons that MatPat can actually follow the day/night cycle and seasonal produce. I feel like most shows wouldn't even get the Deerling formes right. And yes, obviously the canon age means that Ash has indeed remained 10 years old for 10 years and counting.

[@luz3800]

Ash: I want to be a Pokemon Master! Defeats a billion pros and champions and still fights team rocket after 10 years without stopping... Ash: I want to be a Pokemon master!🤔🤔🤔

[@Corr]

Patrick Dinh i was thinking that too untill i realized a pokemon master would have to know about every single pokemon the world has to offer at least imo

[@ellit705]

Patrick Dinh yet he never wins a league and hasn't caught all 700 pokemon.

[@time391]

None of the other Pokemon master's have caught all 700 pokemon either, unless Archeus and Mew are hackable in the show too :P

[@elitebladertv7652]

Just imagine if Ash acted like his age driving a damn car.

[@dvoremay6683]

Trevor Phillips wow the regions would be a breeze.

[@namegoeshere2418]

dvore may he would be able to get a gun and buy a pokeball for every Pokemon species and just go for a spree of catching them all. The Pokemon he would catch would hate him but he would be the one to catch em all.

[@bashidono4062]

i am curious what matpat thinks of the theories of why ash doesn't physically or mentally change, like the ho-oh eternal happiness one or the one about mewtwo turning his body to stone for that bit of time in the movie.

[@gdreticulum3210]

Matpat: Ash is 20 years old... probably Tumblr: it's technically legal

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Ash released his Greninja. *His only chance to become a Pokemon master*
