[@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.

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.

[@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

[@lukeeme-power253]

The one thing that doesn't help Ash's age is that in (I think) season one or two we had an episode, where Pikachu couldn't find Ash and as it turns it out he was getting ready to celebrate getting Pikachu a year ago

[@coconutwindsurfer5589]

I think it actually was a special from the 3rd movie

[@Vivid_Sky23]

Damn you can really see the change in editing styles after Ronnie passed away

[@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly]

Plastic surgeons hate him, cosmetic companies put hits on him, but Ash will never grow old just like jotaro Kujo... (Everything is a JoJo reference, everything.)

[@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly]

...OMG the game theorist are JoJo fans!!!! (I think, possibly)

This is such a cool video but I have a question about ash´s birthday: Doesnt it say in the first episode of pokemon journeys that he JUST celebrated his birthday before getting pikachu?

[@SA-Ichos]

When MatPat says this video is a "gray area" and puts this in Game Theory when he literally is talking almost exclusively about the show

[@liluzifan1822]

R.I.P Ronnie 🙏🏽 this was probably the last video he saw on TGT 😢

[@nowmymomsaccountlol5217]

ya idk who he is

[@mavendeo]

My guess is 23, but knowing how these things usually pan out, he'll probably be 16. Better question is: How old will MatPat be when the next half of this theory comes out? (I'm kidding, buddy. You do great work. Keep it up, alright? We appreciate it)

[@rafayh]

105! He's gonna be working on theories till the day he dies because we love him (and indirectly pay him) for his amazing content

1:08 this is why we need Other Theory where there are theories about stuff that dosen't fit in the theory triforce (game theory, food theory or film theory)

[@schmoopie2010]

Matpat: Why are they starting school in April? Aussies: Why do Americans start school in the middle of the year?

[@isaacnorwood4463]

What about the Pichu Bros short....Ash says 'you know what today is pikachu?'... 'today is the day we first met'

[@Nathan-km6np]

[@Karuminu2]

My guess is by the time MattPat makes it all the way to the end of the Alola seasons, Ash will be between 20 to 24, and his balls will *still* have not dropped.

I was in 2nd grade when I realized that the Pokémon show was formulaic, it gave a an existential crisis. Life’s never been the same

[@AtomoTSW]

according to the reporter in pokemon journeys, both goh and ash are still 10, and were both the same age at Oak's pokemon camp, so it's not just ash that stopped aging

[@mysty3400]

Ah the AGE OLD question.............

I know a girl who had DDs at twelve.

[@JaySeraphon]

@@Vixen92 Me too. The girl was so self conscious of them, she kept trying to hide them in her hoodie but zipper kept coming undone. Made her really nervous all the time.

[@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

[@jonathangauthier3549]

Hey MatPat. As a teenager I never went through "the changes" either. It's rare, but not unheard of in the real world. So maybe Ash has similar affliction to me. Believe me, I understand the annoyance of asking myself "why aren't there any changes?" myself

[@humanbeeing4780]
