Patterrz Reacts to "Game Theory: Who Does Ash MARRY? (Pokemon)"

[@Zulk_RS]

Honestly the only fun way in my opinion that they could have had Ash in a new region after becoming World Champion would have been to essentially make him the One Punch Man of Pokemon. Goes to a new region to collect all 8 badges and see new pokemon for the fun of it but he ends up one-shotting anyone who dares challenge him... except for maybe Team Rocket.

[@romantheblack-cat]

Hell just make them blast of again...lol

[@roaringthunder115]

Yeah

[@Saiyan0X]

No, him starting with new pokemon are just fine. The whole journey would be him to get used to his new Pokemon's strenght and weakness. That being said, Pikachu SHOULD be the OPM from Pokemon by now, but any new Pokemon starting from zero to become champion-level by the end is fine.

[@yorkshirebhoy4049]

In regards to the whole ten year old stuff It depends if you count manga as canon Pat. Takeshi Shudo stated in the Pocket Monsters: The Animation novels that in the Pokémon world, there is the Primary School Graduates Adulthood Law "As for the April after your tenth birthday, you are able to gain a Pokemon license and carry Poke Balls to capture Pokemon, All adult rights are granted" it also worth remembering that Takeshi Shudo also wanted an Elderly Ash to be reincarnated as his younger self.

[@RedDragonForce2]

@ 18:48 No. He did that to determine Ash’s Age and later Pikachu’s level. So he remembered the Thunderstone from those research watchthroughs.

[@GIRru11]

I think Ash would probably have a similar role to someone like Cynthia in future Pokemon anime. He will just be the badass strong trainer that occasionally appears during the journey

Cynthia wasn’t badass she just walked weird from getting 🍆down from her garchomp

Best part of this reaction was Pat's confusion over some of Mat's other theories he mentions near the end

21:50 May's dad who was a literal gym leader in the Pokemon Advanced Generation series: *am i a joke to you?*

[@rakurai4953]

My guess is that Ash isn't a main character but he will be in the series. I'd love it if it followed the pattern of the Pokemon Adventures: Yellow Chapter manga where Ash(Red in the manga) goes missing and his Pikachu, severely wounded, finds a trainer that's willing to help him in Riko(Yellow in the manga). This would lead to Riko traveling the world with Ash's Pikachu looking for Ash, keeping Pikachu as the franchise mascot. If it truly is like Pokemon Adventures, then after Riko(Yellow) goes on their journey meeting New and Old Friends, they eventually find Ash trapped by the big evil in the deepest part of Area Zero(Seafoam Islands I think) where she along with her friends save him from them and they work together in an action packed final fight for the sake of the world.

[@eletraf]

I wouldn’t mind this at all actually, they do technically need to keep a pikachu, how else are they going merchandise their mascot

No, MatPat watched every single episode of Pokémon for a different theory he did and the information just came in handy for this one.

[@RobbertW2]

Fun fact about animes that focus on the son of the former anime protagonist. Dragon Ball Z was supposed to focus on Gohan, the son of the original Dragon Ball series, Goku, but they changed that around when they found out how populair adult Goku had become. And now most people dont even know there was a show before Dragon Ball Z, that followed Goku growing up.

Let’s not forget that a Latias is a big part of Ash’s final 11 episodes…

[@Tefezilla]

Seeing latias human girl as a kid was so shocking

[@aer015]

MatPat forgot a candidate (even if eliminated early). Salon Maiden Anabel. And it would be fun to see Ash as a mentor and inspiration for Riko instead of parent. But maybe a cameo of Ash's wife (assuming time skip) would be great to see, just to find out which ship was true in the end.

[@shelbybayer200]

My theory, this takes place in the future and I assume that Riko has a similar goal to Ash to become the pokemon champion. How ever in this case, after riko battles through 4 or 8 regions (a bit of a stretch I know) she would encounter adult Ash to be the finalists of becoming the Pokémon champion. (I also had a theory that Roy would also be interested)
