ash is and will always be 10 years old. when misty is 80 and on her death bed, ash will still be 10. she'll gesture him close and whisper in his ear "you still owe me a bike"
Can’t believe you have been doing this for over a decade now. I remember discovering you in 2016 as an eleven year old and binging you content. Now as an “adult” and seeing all you have done for me and the community, you have my respect for that!
I agree. Looks to be around 8 in that. Even slightly before that he looked younger. Before the Unova season his eyes were no more than slits which made him look older (in my opinion). Then they made his eyes bigger with colour which somehow made him look younger... That's how I see it anyway.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of a theory of why he looks younger (as both Mallow and Lillie are taller than him) however in the first episode of the SM anime, He gets run over bu Tauros and then states "I'm used to it, I've caught a few Tauros myself" So theory debunked.
He looks younger because of the artists that have taken over for this new series, but it's stated in the game that you have to be at least *11* years old to take on Alola's island challenge So after all these years, Ash may have aged at least once, _if_ they're considering that to be canon in the anime
@@ezraora4549 yeah but i’m saying imagine how old ash would be in journeys if he aged normally. i think he’d probably be anywhere between 24 and 32 or something
That same Game Theory denouncing Mario in favor of Bowser, grossly underestimated Sonic’s speed, and got COUNTLESS things wrong about knights, vikings, and samurai? No thanks!
I think the last episode should be about Ash's 11th birthday. He should invite all his previous traveling partners, pokemon, rivals and even Jessie, James and Meowth. Then Ho-Oh should appear one more time and the episode should end with everyone smiling while staring at Ho-Oh.
Yeah, Pokemon never dying off, new pokemon that get less and less creative and more and more difficult to pronounce, Ash always being ten, and the original creator passing away.
Yeah I'm here in 2021, and looking back on his old videos, I realized how much Michael's channel has grown, and at this point I'm just so proud of him.
@@orange-dm8fx so people that are born in alola has to leave alola ? Humans are weird the kids start with there adventure there on 11 years old its said in pokemon moon and sun it has Nothing to do with you must be 11 to Enter this Region its a free Land for everyone
you know in pokemon havelike these stone there is 1. firestone 2.thunder stone 3. waterstone and 4. everstone everstonecan make pokemon stay in teir form forever but those are not only the stone in pokemon there is stil lmore
This is how I imaged Ash Kanto - 10 Johto - 10.5 Hoenn - 11 Sinnoh - 11.5 Unova - 12 Kalos- 12.5 So it's pretty much gonna be this way because he looks like he's getting older anywa- *Sun&Moon* OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Not gonna lie, I'd really like to see Pokemon grow the main characters up..And have a new generation of kids going on new adventures :/ Ashe would be a gym leader I bet
ocachisu How do you define a 'Pokemon Master' as a job though? Sounds like he's just trying to avoid any responsibillities as a grown up "I'm a Pokemon Master! I can't have a job! Pokemon is my job!"
They could have made a lot of money if they had aged Ash and made it a more mature show for the aging viewers, and simultaneously kept the younger show with a new hero.
Or if they stoped with forcing team rocket in every damn episode. They were never interesting and only became more and more annoying. I felt that team aqua and team magma were, besides giovanni, the first real antagonists (Gary was a rival thus technically not an antagonist).
My math was off by just a little...the way I figured it, if it takes Ash a year to traverse each region (excluding a few months off the Sevii/Orange Islands and the Decalor Islands) he would be around 17-18...hey, at least I was close
My theory, every episode is one whole second in the Pokémon universe, every time they reference a year going by or time in general is just the characters attempting and failing to try and pretend like they know the time the audience experience. It makes sense to me but at the same time Ive been up since two days ago so honestly anything goes rn
Dude if the final episode of Pokemon shows grown up Ashe (either as a gym leader or Pokemon league champion) and his wife sending off their son or daughter on their journey to become a Pokemon master at the age of 10... I will cry, and my life will be complete.
I assume ash is actually 1,000 years old because ash see jirachi in one of the first seasons , later on in Pokémon black ash see jirachi again , also is has been said that jirachi only comes out every 1,000 to 2,000 years
I love this 7 year old video, because it literally uses Ash is short as an argument and honestly, kids, follow your dreams, whether you succeed or not is 100% random chance
Ash is not 10 anymore because in indigo league after he gets his 7th badge (valcano badge), he goes back home and he says "I cant believe its been a year"
I always thought Pokemon were real and I have been playing since I was 5. Man those days were great my brother helped me but now I'm 12 and I have to play the game all by my self but I feel proud. I will always love Pokemon I even want to be buried with all my games. That might sound weird but I don't care.
I'm 31 and just got Pokemon Go. The people I met vary from 12 till in their thirties. So even if Ash was like 100 nobody gives a fuck. It's about playing the game!
There’s something I’ve notice that a lot of theorists, not you, haven’t accounted for in these ash age theories. The fact that no one else ages either! Think about it, every time a character reappears, they always look almost exactly the same as they did when they first appeared with a small redesign to fit the new series. Misty and Brock reappear in Sun and Moon, and despite a tiny clothing change for Brock, they look exactly the same besides the slight redesign (but that’s just the art style of the series). And look at ash’s mom! She appears in every series! And she looks nearly exactly the same! Everyone needs to start paying attention to everyone else’s ages as well!
Lei actually did age :0 Burnett went from not even pregnant to having birthed a some odd monthed baby from the end of Alola to Ash’s return to Alola in Journey’s.
Im pretty sure ash is 1016 reason first watch the first movie of the advanced series (jirachi the wishmaker) then watch the episode when Jirachi appeares in the bw series.You'll remember that every 1000 years Jirachi wakes up from it's nap so that is why Ash is 1016
It is SO lame that he is still 10.. they could've had him age normally and replace the protagonist with a younger character and perhaps make Ash an experienced gym leader or traveler..
I think They should make a series with red instead of ash. Then later red meets up with Ethan. Than they both meet up with Brendan. Then they meet up with Lucas. Then hilbert. Then nate. I think it would be kinda cool.
To do the Island Challanges in Alola, you HAVE to be 11 years. Theoretically, Ash should be 11 to do them. But that's just a random thought to think about.
I have a theory! In the episode The Tower of Terror,Ash Ketchum kind of dies,same with pikachu,he even turns into a spirit and plays with the other ghost Pokemon,though he does go back into his body,maybe one of the ghost Pokemon used there psychic abilitys because they felt sorry for him that he died,and tricked is mind and pikachus mind into thinking they are still alive,and he cant age because there isn't a reason for it hes already dead.....But that is my theory,
Or another theory is. The world of Pokémon is an entire new world, developing at an entirely new pace than Earth. This explains why their planet looks different than Earth. It could mean their suns, stars, planets, solar systems, or even galaxies could vary. This could also affect how humans and Pokemon developed over their years journeying. 6 years in our time could be 6 months for Ash. Reverse dog years maybe. This could mean that they said a 'year' in our time Ash has traveled, meaning a month has gone by in Ash's timespan. This would all vary upon their special human and Pokemon evolution expansions over generations. Or you could just blame Dialga. Roar of Time my toilet...
+Landon Repp Technically it does explain that. They have just lived more of 'their' years. Like I said, a month could be a year in our time depending on their distance from their sun. Those old men, maybe 70, would be 840 years old in our time. Plus in my theory, it all varies on their millenniums of evolution, human and pokemon that have shifted their growth spans. Either way. This theory allows Shippers to have no regrets.
A year is a complete orbit around a star or another celestial object. Other astronomical bodies' years are compared to earth in "earth years". True. A year on Pluto is over 200 earth years. Good luck ever celebrating your birthday on THAT planet. So Ash could just be farther away from the Sun in their universe. Or dialga and palkia are at it again.
He is still 10, the entirety of the series takes place within one year-on the finale of the Pokemon anime, it will be canon that Ash now turned 11 _FEAR MY CORRECTNESS_
What if all the generations are alternate universes, like the first universe he stayed in Kanto, then in another universe he went to Hoenn and so on, what about that?
I think the best way to accurately find out his age would be to re-watch from the beginning and keep count of all the sunsets, because going by episode count has some flaws. some episodes span a couple days, others may have been done in less than a day. So theres a new challenge for all the super fans out there, How many Sunsets so far in the anime?
I like to imagine it like this. Kanto to Sinnoh: Everything you say in this section I believe. Unova: Ash is dumber in Unova than I was when I was his age so I'd like to imagine him being 10 where he's in a completely different universe. Also, the belongs Charizard to his mom, that's my headcanon at least. Kalos: Well Ash is actually smart now so I like to imagine him being 15-16. Hell, all of Ash's companions in the region act older as well, although I still believe that Kalos takes place in a separate universe to the other series. Alola: I think it's obvious that this one is in a separate timeline. It's pretty easy to believe he's 11 though.
I THINK they could have passed the torch with the main characters, Ash grows up becomes a better trainer, or Gym leader, meanwhile the anime focuses on someone new. Kids wouldn't miss Ash, because they probably wouldn't even know who he was,and the older teens and adults who still play & watch would be slapped with Nostalgia when they caught Ash in a Cameo ep. BUT THAT COULD JUST BE STUPID,off I go.
I completely accept this. Don't care what the writers say. And if they want to keep the main protagonist the same age, CHANGE THE MAIN PROTAGONIST. Like, damn, it's not that hard. You can still keep Ash around and follow a lot of his travels
They experimented with Chronicles it didn't work as much hate as Ash gets new generations love him and the old have nothing better to do than keep watching him
It's Japan. For the most part, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is the mentality here (and even in some cases where if it is broke, don't fix it :-P ) Satoshi and Pikachu are the faces of this franchise. If they were going to change him, they should've done so when Gold/Silver came out and then they could've continued "changing" from there to match the protagonist of each game series. Satoshi is to Pokemon what Hulk Hogan is to wrestling. Even if you don't know a thing about Pokemon or wrestling, you know these two when you see them.
Ash as a character has grown rather well albeit slowly considering the timeframe. In the beginning he won the 1st 2nd 4th and 5th badge due to pity or situational events and needed to be coached through the league to succeed. Along with that after losing he pouted for a number of days and refused to even cheer his friend on initially. In the next region he tried early on to win using former glories namely Charizard, but looking at the league objectively he also had Bulbasaur and Squirtle put in more than their fair share of work as well. In short Ash no longer needed coaching but he did require strong players In the next region Ash notably went along with an entirely new party which went against his stance previously and showed that he's more willing to rely on his own trainer sense. This would be copied in regions to come notably in Unova where he raised 10 pokemon at once showing a major growth from when he could only manage 6 in Houen.

+AJgamersOnline 😂😂😂😂
maybe he evolved :D
He evolved into Ash Mayonnaise! xD
There’s something I’ve notice that a lot of theorists, not you, haven’t accounted for in these ash age theories. The fact that no one else ages either! Think about it, every time a character reappears, they always look almost exactly the same as they did when they first appeared with a small redesign to fit the new series. Misty and Brock reappear in Sun and Moon, and despite a tiny clothing change for Brock, they look exactly the same besides the slight redesign (but that’s just the art style of the series). And look at ash’s mom! She appears in every series! And she looks nearly exactly the same! Everyone needs to start paying attention to everyone else’s ages as well!
Lei actually did age :0 Burnett went from not even pregnant to having birthed a some odd monthed baby from the end of Alola to Ash’s return to Alola in Journey’s.
You just realised Ash is the ONLY one that has a last name...
I mean the MAIN people that were in a full season..
True....
..?
Ok... Well I meant in the English.
Not true, Brock's last name is Obama
Brock Obama
Im pretty sure ash is 1016 reason first watch the first movie of the advanced series (jirachi the wishmaker) then watch the episode when Jirachi appeares in the bw series.You'll remember that every 1000 years Jirachi wakes up from it's nap so that is why Ash is 1016
It is SO lame that he is still 10.. they could've had him age normally and replace the protagonist with a younger character and perhaps make Ash an experienced gym leader or traveler..
DUDEE, i didn’t know this video was yours, i saw this 7 years ago clueless that it was my favorite poke tuber 😧😧
I think They should make a series with red instead of ash. Then later red meets up with Ethan. Than they both meet up with Brendan. Then they meet up with Lucas. Then hilbert. Then nate.
I think it would be kinda cool.
Pokemon Origins.
There ya go, RED.
Blamhammer but its only 4 episodes, and they cut out major moments, like all the gym battles and the elite 4 battles.
hokage1997 Think its cause no one cares about Red, these kids grew up with Ash not Red.
hokage1997 There's a manga...
***** lol i know
I still get sad when I remember Brock and Misty leaving the show. That was my childhood
i left after weezing and arbok left.
NorthyDoxy i left after Ash' Charizard left.
I have my own theory.
He is Asian and therefore Forever Young, also he's too lazy to update his Pokémon license
Thank you
Aw thanks
lol
that explains why im 14 and i still look like an 8 year old. Thanks Asia!
I'm asian and that does not explain why I already have a growing stubble on 7 th Grade and was more mature about the world than everyone else was.
To do the Island Challanges in Alola, you HAVE to be 11 years.
Theoretically, Ash should be 11 to do them. But that's just a random thought to think about.
A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts
That's in the games. It wasn't a thing in the anime. Separating different canons is important for theorymonning.
@@gengarzilla1685When we have no defined answer from the anime, we can use the games as a source instead. Does that not make sense?
Well, I always assumed Ash was one of those people that doesn't get very tall as they age, so if he has 16-17 years old that would make sense.
so midget ash :3
yourallygod gaming Nah, some people just don't grow up their bodies that much.
Hormones, probably.
Metalders yea ik im just saying he's an old person but is a midget :3 really thats what it is heh
yourallygod gaming I don't consider him a "midget", just a short person.
Remember "Short Round" from Indiana Jones? :3
Metalders i think i do
Pokémon is a kids show. Meanwhile 24 year olds are catching pokemon with their phone ;)
haha relatable
Something wrong with that?
+Chadagun. I hope not, because I am one of those people :P
Kristian Severens Exactly ;)
I've even met people in their 30's catching them :D
Guys imagine that every 1gen turns out into 1month.. you dont realize ...and now gen7 its 7th month of his journey
NewN4ME Gaming ur dat character from mobile lengends
But when they got in viridian city ash is eleven but you have a point
its just impossible
mrsavage MLBB I'm the show he said that it had been a year since the beginning of his journey
BOI if ash is in his ooon 7th month of traveling then how does he get 8 gym badges
Who's watching 10 years later?
One does not simply catch them all.
wow 16
ash ketchup
Tom Ato
Ass Ketchup
Yes plz
+Kokio its actually a doggo
Ash Catch 'em
They did come out and say ash by sun and moon is 13
Though I might be wrong I'm not entirely sure if that's what they legit said
I just know that at some point it was confirmed that ash was at least 13
It saids he is still 10 on the tv at Japan sun and moon
there's only 700 pokemon
He's going to be 11 in sun and moon because you need to be 11 to enter the island trails
“Is he still 10?”
Me:no he’s 4 years old due to Celebi changing time to make Pokemon Camps and that you can be 3 years or older
damn they walk for a year. large muscled legs???
Never skip dat derr leg day. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
dos thou even hoist
I had leg day today.... feels gr8
@A Wandering Artist doth*, but you made me laugh.
Can't spell legendary without leg day ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I have a theory! In the episode The Tower of Terror,Ash Ketchum kind of dies,same with pikachu,he even turns into a spirit and plays with the other ghost Pokemon,though he does go back into his body,maybe one of the ghost Pokemon used there psychic abilitys because they felt sorry for him that he died,and tricked is mind and pikachus mind into thinking they are still alive,and he cant age because there isn't a reason for it hes already dead.....But that is my theory,
That's a legitimate theory mate
That was the most awesome theory ever!
And it's kinda sad
Wow...just wow
One does not simply grow out of Pokémon.
Unless you're in high school. :P
i'm 24 and still play pokemon
puiyan tam A wild missingNO appeared!
I'm almost 20 and I've played Pokémon religiously since I was 3. One does not simply grow out of Pokémon. Ever.
Lync lol im 23 soon and still plays with my bigger brother that is 26 x) haha still playing pokemon battles agienst eachother
***** LOTR MEME!!!
end of an era ❤️👍
Or another theory is. The world of Pokémon is an entire new world, developing at an entirely new pace than Earth. This explains why their planet looks different than Earth. It could mean their suns, stars, planets, solar systems, or even galaxies could vary. This could also affect how humans and Pokemon developed over their years journeying. 6 years in our time could be 6 months for Ash. Reverse dog years maybe. This could mean that they said a 'year' in our time Ash has traveled, meaning a month has gone by in Ash's timespan. This would all vary upon their special human and Pokemon evolution expansions over generations. Or you could just blame Dialga. Roar of Time my toilet...
it doesn't explain why he's the only one that doesn't age. there are old men and misty ages in a recent episode.
+Landon Repp Technically it does explain that. They have just lived more of 'their' years. Like I said, a month could be a year in our time depending on their distance from their sun. Those old men, maybe 70, would be 840 years old in our time. Plus in my theory, it all varies on their millenniums of evolution, human and pokemon that have shifted their growth spans. Either way. This theory allows Shippers to have no regrets.
Misty still ages at the correct rate. She's shown as a twenty-something year old woman in one episode.
+Landon Repp She is?? What episode was this?
A year is a complete orbit around a star or another celestial object.
Other astronomical bodies' years are compared to earth in "earth years".
True. A year on Pluto is over 200 earth years.
Good luck ever celebrating your birthday on THAT planet.
So Ash could just be farther away from the Sun in their universe.
Or dialga and palkia are at it again.
Wow. Those were 7 minutes of my life that I'll never get back
Well those were 6 years of ash's life that he'll never get to live
hey ash might of been born in a leap year
MLG life yes might be on February 29th
And he has a liliputer virus
Memes RUS how is old She or he i forgot if it was he or she when i wrote this
Lol
he would be forty
He is still 10, the entirety of the series takes place within one year-on the finale of the Pokemon anime, it will be canon that Ash now turned 11
_FEAR MY CORRECTNESS_
nope as when he returns to viridan city he says it has been a year since he was last there
What if all the generations are alternate universes, like the first universe he stayed in Kanto, then in another universe he went to Hoenn and so on, what about that?
nathan cao that would be cool but no, the seasons all start where the last season left off....with the exception of alola
I never thought Ash looked 10. I thought he was 16 actually and just short.
I think the best way to accurately find out his age would be to re-watch from the beginning and keep count of all the sunsets, because going by episode count has some flaws. some episodes span a couple days, others may have been done in less than a day. So theres a new challenge for all the super fans out there, How many Sunsets so far in the anime?
I like to imagine it like this.
Kanto to Sinnoh: Everything you say in this section I believe.
Unova: Ash is dumber in Unova than I was when I was his age so I'd like to imagine him being 10 where he's in a completely different universe. Also, the belongs Charizard to his mom, that's my headcanon at least.
Kalos: Well Ash is actually smart now so I like to imagine him being 15-16. Hell, all of Ash's companions in the region act older as well, although I still believe that Kalos takes place in a separate universe to the other series.
Alola: I think it's obvious that this one is in a separate timeline. It's pretty easy to believe he's 11 though.
I THINK they could have passed the torch with the main characters, Ash grows up becomes a better trainer, or Gym leader, meanwhile the anime focuses on someone new.
Kids wouldn't miss Ash, because they probably wouldn't even know who he was,and the older teens and adults who still play & watch would be slapped with Nostalgia when they caught Ash in a Cameo ep.
BUT THAT COULD JUST BE STUPID,off I go.
I completely accept this. Don't care what the writers say.
And if they want to keep the main protagonist the same age, CHANGE THE MAIN PROTAGONIST. Like, damn, it's not that hard. You can still keep Ash around and follow a lot of his travels
They experimented with Chronicles it didn't work as much hate as Ash gets new generations love him and the old have nothing better to do than keep watching him
I loved chronicles, though. Ah, people are dumb. -pouts in a corner-
hanon623 Chronicles?
It's Japan. For the most part, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is the mentality here (and even in some cases where if it is broke, don't fix it :-P ) Satoshi and Pikachu are the faces of this franchise. If they were going to change him, they should've done so when Gold/Silver came out and then they could've continued "changing" from there to match the protagonist of each game series.
Satoshi is to Pokemon what Hulk Hogan is to wrestling. Even if you don't know a thing about Pokemon or wrestling, you know these two when you see them.
Ash as a character has grown rather well albeit slowly considering the timeframe. In the beginning he won the 1st 2nd 4th and 5th badge due to pity or situational events and needed to be coached through the league to succeed. Along with that after losing he pouted for a number of days and refused to even cheer his friend on initially.
In the next region he tried early on to win using former glories namely Charizard, but looking at the league objectively he also had Bulbasaur and Squirtle put in more than their fair share of work as well. In short Ash no longer needed coaching but he did require strong players
In the next region Ash notably went along with an entirely new party which went against his stance previously and showed that he's more willing to rely on his own trainer sense. This would be copied in regions to come notably in Unova where he raised 10 pokemon at once showing a major growth from when he could only manage 6 in Houen.
That makes him like 18 in sun and moon anime and he looks like 7 and is like 3 feet tall
I'm Cool Bro no bcs in Sun and Moon Ash has had a reset - the Sun and More serie is total apart from the original anime serie.
Fleur Gijsbers ohhhh... I didnt know that
Fleur Gijsbers FALSE
I'm Cool Bro if sun and moon was part of it he'd be 20
ChunArt Chun pretty sure it’s ep 42
Pokémon GO is my reason for clicking this video :>
+SlenderKatZ O_o that's awesome
+MandJTV Pokevids I know right
:)
Yep......
Sad just sad :-/
