Ash is probably holding everstone XD
... oh gawd ASH IS A POKEMON CONFIRMED
Gamoo Mr.Mime is dad
They never said it doesn’t work on humans
I mean his rowlet drop an ever stone on his backpack
I realize I am kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?
Dermatologists hate him
Blue NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blue Discover how this man from Kanto has virtually stopped aging!

One huge fault with the Coma theory...
*You can't dream in a coma.*
how do u know?
Inception laughs at you.
+Maxine Leyretana theres no brain activity during a coma therefore no dreming
Become one with me.
+Maxine Leyretana watch a video where a boy went coma for 12 years and can hear and feel his surroundings.
I wish there was another pokemon origins, gen 2 of course
Luis Iron i wish it were longer...fuck that series it went too fast. only four episodes? not for me
I wish it was an actual full on series! It was AMAZING! I really enjoyed it and would love to see more of it.
exactly wgat i mean heath. in all honesty it was fine but it should have been longer
Luis Iron I wish there was one for every game
Little Einstein if that ever exists if kris doesn't appear i will literally cry
her anime appearance was shit :
Being 10 forever sounds like eternal happiness to me. Remember how cool everything was when you were 10? Now imagine that but with magical, monster pets and all the money you get for essentially being a major world sports star. Sign me up.
Has anyone ever suggested that Ash could be cursed? Trapped in an ageless 10 year old body until the day he finally wins a National Championship. He can never age until he is, in fact, the very best.
I'd love to see a Timeskip that lead to a storyline where the protagonist keeps meeting a mysterious, middle-aged mentor who turns out to be both Ash and the League Champion; winning a League started him aging again but he got all of the intervening decades in one go.
clearly if Ash Ketchum is not ageing then either is Misty and or Brock two name A few extra characters
Yeah but then remember how dumb you probably were when you were 10. I'd rather be 20-25 forever.
I think that Ash steals youth of all of his female companions and sells their bodies to the black market.
that's dark...
THAT SHOULD BE A CREEPYPASTA!!
laytonlover258 Please God no more Poke-pastas...
Aww...poor u.
what i dont get is why dont they just change main protagonist? A new protagonist would provide awesome opportunity for older characters to make cameos and makes it so that i wouldnt be so mess up that ash just abandons his pokemon to professor oak and go catch new ones.
@Hollow Tim I hate that
@@mattok101digitaltamer9 same I mean tbh I feel that they should make the anime adaptation of the game's protagonist the same as we played as so that we can relate more than rely solely on ash as the main role while putting the protagonist that we played as the third person who holds to little until to no roles whatsoever especially when we.play the games series we often or may shipped the protagonist with for example with Dawn if we played the classic trilogy version in DS
@@mattok101digitaltamer9 tl;dr sure if they want to remained constant on making ash as the main guy and having a relationship with serena but at least they should've make another adaptation where it follows up the game like having our silent protagonist Red more role and romance thing going on like him with Dawn or etc depending on the game
@@mattok101digitaltamer9 sorry for the rant btw😅 but I really dissapointed that it is drive off away from the game kind of since welp it is obvious that we can relate more to the character we played as than the non existent one in games
Ash Ketchum is only doing that because Gary Oak decided to do the same with his starter pokemon with is A blastoise with was A squirtle every one seem to forget that is why Ash Ketchum only take his pikachu with him on the start of each new pokemon journey
That coma theory does not make any sense. When you are in a coma, you can't imagine things that you have never scene before, let alone generations worth.
It's seen
+TheDogArmyGames Not scene
I recommend reading the whole coma theory
i know right!
Tubez the 1 I agree with you
Ash actually is older in the xy series. Him, Serena, and Clemont were officially announced to be 14. So...We got a four year time skip.
Which episode? Also... video is a year old...
FINALLY!
where did you see that information?
Finally they age him and ash looked older in X and Y
I never saw that...
The reason Ash keeps on losing the Leagues is because Ash's eternal happiness is an eternal Pokémon journey, so as long as he doesn't win the League, his journey will be eternal.
but...there are many leagues and other battels to win except the leaugues -_-
DChipMunk Exactly, but until he wins the leagues, his journey will continue. And as Ash's eternal happiness he received from Ho-Oh is an eternal journey, he'll never win ALL his battles, so he has something to work towards on his journey.
Meowus Nimbus yea i got taht,but i highly doubt wining one leauge is the end of hes journey...tho i get your point,i mean...pulling a Darkrai and a Latios...why not bring Hoho into the mix and get it over with xD fucking bullshit is what it is
I have been screaming this for years preach it to the choir
lol tim Duncan never ages
w
Fingers crossed for Pokemon Origins Season 2: Gold and Silver.
+angeldude101 As long as the battles are better and the teams ar emore balanced lolol.
Mean While I Wait For Ruby And Sapphire (Brendan/May) Or X/Y (Calem/Serena)
Ash constantly dies and Professor Oak keeps clones.
Wouldn't it make more sense for Delia to keep the clones? It would certainly explain why she's never upset with him running off on adventures, barely taking the time to stop and say hi in-between. She doesn't need him to, cuz she has his clones to keep her company
MatsuyoPlays I figured the Professor would keep her in the dark about it.
lololol
Ash's father is Rusty Venture.
It's more than obvious why Ash doesn't age... The game's internal battery ran dry... xP
lol
Except for the gen 4 games and beyond, which use the system time currently on the DS.
***** but Ash was born in first gen, where does that leave him? O_o
josh11735 he just doenst age .. well cartoon actually doesnt age the creators make them age ..
blader linker That answer is just too easy and not punny enough :P
I know why Ash sucks at being a trainer.
Ash is 10
Red is 11
Red>Ash
Myth Busted
Sure, dude, sure...
MegaRay220
Red ages but ash dosent
Recently red is about 21
Zxylo 5
who me
maybe the unrealized eternal happiness, even to Ash, is never having to experience puberty.
The target demographic isn't 10 anymore...
Say's who? That's obviously WHO they're targetting, maybe not necessarily a portion of the fandom though.
Xelda He was just referring to how most 10 year olds (now-a-days) play something like... Call of Duty over Pokemon. Sad but true.
They need to put more mature stuff in the games and anime cause everyone who likes it is older now
Let's just agree that Ash has a disease that makes his body age, but not his....actual...age...
"DOES RED AGE??" yes hes actually honeymooning in alolah, im proud
Hey maybe the reason he loses in the eternal happiness theory is that he wants to be better (the best). Sometimes being better means learning from your mistakes!
R
R?
yeah...LEARNING from his mistakes...which is why he can't fight successfully against gym leaders and copy paste rivals
Oh yeah.
Darn you cyclical routine!
+Pikachu Thirteen I'm confused, why can't he successfully fight against them?
Remember the first ever episode of the anime, Ash sees Ho Oh. The pokedex entry says "anyone who sees Ho Oh is promised eternal Happiness." What is eternal happiness for Ash? To forever be on a Pokemon journey. That's why he's forever ten.
In the pokedex it doesnt say that until gen 4. So I guess he reversed in age in gen 4
Digimon actually added new protagonists and brought cameos of old ones back multiple times. I always thought that was one of the coolest things about it.
Everyone questions why Ash doesn't age but they don't question why he can't beat the Pokémon league but he can beat the battle frontier which is harder than the Pokémon league in the game
6:11 This aged like fine wine
The reason why James Bond, Spongebob and Mario's aging aren't in question as much as Ash is because their adults and their development already reached their peak, so you don't expect a lot of change in appearance. Ash is at an age where he should be experiencing major changes AND is traveling in an Odyssey type journey which means time IS passing so that's why his aging is more in question.
Also unlike those others, Pokemon is an anime with every episode ending with "To be continued". This suggests that Pokemon is supposed to have some sort of continuity, with one episode happening after another.
*Looks at Scooby doo*
Nobody is bothering those guys... xP
That makes a lot of sense. To be honest I think that Satoshi Tajiri (creator of Pokemon) never expected Pokemon to be so huge. The reason the 1st and 2nd Gen games intersect is because that was supposed to be the end of it. Hoenn and everything that followed was made by popular demand. Now they all have dollar signs in their eyes and will not let the series die gracefully. They will drive it into the dirt before it finally ends. Oh...wait it already has.
Care to explain Bart or Stewie?
6:25 The main problem about changing the protagonist is not Ash: is Pikachu. Removing the official mascot from the anime is a no-way.
Maybe they could . . . they could just . . . dang it your right.
The other person also has a pikachu.
In the Pokemon Sun, it's been confirmed that Red actually ages normally.
He did not appear in the anime
6:34 Digimon has done this (though the old protags returning mostly happens in Sequel series/movies)
Ash is definently a good pokemon caretaker, and understander. Possibly even a great pokemon ranger if he ever became one. But he's terrible at actually succeeding. Red breaks down and beats down giovanni twice and disbands the entire rocket organization, while giovanni seems to be extremely over glorified as an unreachable villain in the anime with ash usually having trouble with the 2 most inept rocket members throughout his 4+ region journey.
Red takes down the elite four and becomes the champion, while ash never reaches the top 3 in any of the league championships despite having what could be considered years of battle experience. NOT TO MENTION HIM LOSING TO THE FIRST GYM OF THE KALOS REGION.
Are you referring to the games? Or Origins? Giovanni in Origins wipes the floor with Red with one only Pokémon, and Red barely won against him. Gamewise, Giovanni should really step up his difficulty, it's quite easy to see his weakness. Also, Ash made to the top 4 in the Sinnoh League, and considering how no else defeated Tobias's Darkrai, I say Ash is in the Top 2.
Btw, I never recall the first gym leader to have Ice Beam, Signal Beam, Protect, *Psychic*, and Solar Beam in the games. Usually they have weaker moves such as Bubbles or Quick Attack.
Evan Pan-Bao Even if we're counting origins, red still wins and beats giovanni in the end while ash never comes close to even fighting him.
And I said that ash has never made it into the top 3 of the leagues he's been to. And still, top 2. He has never became the champ or the "very best" in his 6+ season journey over 4 regions.
I didn't know that the first gym leader had those moves, but pikachu at this point has fought well enough battles to be level 50+. A first gym pokemon is still a first gym pokemon. Pikachu still should've been able to win.
NeutralGuyDoubleZero Considering that in the last battle Red has six Pokémon, while Giovanni only had two, it's not really a fair fight to begin with. Not to mention that Giovanni had a change of heart in that special, and it's that change that caused Team Rocket to be disbanded as they were still an active organization (All Red did was thwarted their plans).
If you know anything about how rounds work, it goes from Top 16 to Top 8 to Top 4 to Final Round. There is no Top 3 in any of the leagues. And considering that the runner up against Tobias didn't even defeat Darkrai, I say that Ash has a really high rank (Top 3 at least) in Sinnoh.
Not to mention that Pokémon Leagues in the games is nothing like the anime Leagues. Ironically, the League that actually fits the game format is the one that Ash won, the Orange League. Let's see, four trainers you must face before heading off to face the Champion.
And I highly recommend you actually watch the XY Gym battle before making statements like that. If there's anything I know about first Gyms of any regions, is that they must prove they (and the rest of Kalos) are not pushovers for any trainers, even if they have over 42 badges. Viola is also the sister of Alexa, the one who brought Ash to the Kalos. Viola knows that Ash is coming, that he's from Kanto, and is with his long time partner Pikachu. It is likely she had prepared for this since his arrival.
Evan Pan-Bao Very true that it was a 2:6 battle, but Red is still written to thwart team rocket and actually get stuff done. Ash is for some reason left in this endless void of constantly battling the most inept members without actually moving up the food chain for any extended period of time. At least from what I've seen/heard. I'd gladly try and watch the first season of the anime if I could find the subbed versions since the english voice for ash in that season makes me want to puke. Literally. Oh god it's everywhere...
The fact that Ash still never actually comes out on top despite doing the league challenge 4 times is still sad.
I guess my biggest problem with ash at this point is how the writers handled him instead of the actual character. He never truly progresses or improves in the grand scheme of things. True he ends up learning a new strategy or 2 but in the end he never becomes the very best or catches em all in any region despite having over 300 episodes of time. Is there a solution to this? YES. CHANGE UP THE PROTAGANIST LIKE THE GAMES INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY REUSING THE SAME GUY!
Aaaaaaannnnnnddd end rant.
Just looking at Ash, I wouldn't mind for him to grow. Getting new clothes is for someone who grows bigger. But if he doesn't get bigger, then new clothing should be out of question. Mistakes were made when they made it into a pure children's show. They didn't even try to fix episodes. They also got rid of amazing characters. Misty, Brock, Tracy... Ash doesn't even act like his usual self. The show just needs to end.
I think the ho-oh theory makes a lot of sense. Ash's dream is to be a pokemon master, so if Ash never wins the pokemon league, it would be eternal happiness and he would always be chasing his dream.
You know what's worse than the Ash's coma theory? The Ash is a clone theory
They both suck and make no sense xD
Well maybe the clone theory is better
I never heard of this theory and I think it's garbage
Watching this just after Ash’s retirement was announced. Surreal tbh.
Mario: No chronological pattern displayed in the series
Bond: Movies aren't chronologically connected, or in some cases at all.
Spongebob: well... He's not alive(?)
Bart: Sure he ages, he just never grows (blame it on Homer working at a nuclear plant)
Tim Duncan: ....No chronological pattern displayed in the series
Ash: Chronological pattern showed in the series, chooses to ignore them.
I believe that "James Bond" is just a codename for their best agent. So every different actor who plays Bond is LITERALLY a new agent.
thesynergy2 I would somewhat agree with this, except that some different bond actors are linked with each others storylines
Spongebob has been shown to have birthdays.
YumByte2 Spongebob should be mutilated, raped and put to the torch
if you take his employeee of the month plaques he ends up being at leat 31
The Time -skip in Naruto is 3 years.
During the indigo league it's clearly stated in one of the episodes that ash turns 11. Since all the main regions are approximately the same size it's reasonable to assume that collecting eight badges and taking part in a league takes one entire year therefore by counting the number of leagues it's safe to assume that by the start of X and Y ash is between 14 - 15 years old. Furthermore ash's behaviour is clearly different in latest season showing that he is older. I don't understand why the writers refuse to abmit it.
@@witherboy7817 In Sun and Moon he is 11
Lets just say that Sun and Moon happened between Gen 3 and 4
Totalwarking7 if Ash Ketchum is on each journey for about A year or two and according to A they if Ash Ketchum did actually age at all he would be twenty and he left out one the pikachu and pichu mini movie well one of the two did and clearly the pokemon animer has no desire to age Ash Ketchum up to any age past age 10 on the pokemon anime at all
5:50 Winning doesn't always make you happy.
+William Winder Ash may loose from time to time because the world may not be believable and the illusion is shattered. All of Giovanni's horrific experiments would be wasted and he would have to start again to create the worlds most powerful pokemon trainer to tame the beast that is MEWTHREE.
It's so obvious!
Ash was born on February 29th!
LOL
but by the time he would have got his first pokemon, he would be forty.
Exactly! He hides his grey hair under his hat! Well, what little grey hair he has :P
Ash is in omni-purgatory. He is locked at a constant skill and age. This is why all his friends leave him and Pikachu is his only partner. Arceus is trying to teach him something but he just wont fucking LEARN!!!!!!!
target demographic: 10 yrs
actual demographic: 20+ yrs
LOL I just tried to favorite this video AGAIN. That's how much I loved it. You're witty and entertaining, keep it up!
Ash is really fourteen years old
his birthday is February 29th
that's why he's still 10, up until the day he started his journey, his mom and Professor Oak kept track chronologically until he hit 10
After his journey starts, he goes back to the 'date aging' in which he only gains a year when February 29th officially passes.
His friends know about it and love to make fun of him for it, so he doesn't bother correcting anyone anymore.
"Tim Duncan never ages" LOLLL
"Tim Duncan never ages"
That might explain why he never smiles either.
the theory of eternal happiness makes sense, if ash won the champoinship he would have to stay as champion and wouldnt be able to continue his adventure
also he has also also met jarachi, a Pokemon who only appears every thousand years, twice. So that adds another thousand years.
but he also meet both Celebi and Dialga multiple times each. Each are associated with Time Control.
I think ash is actually aging pretty realistically. Think about it. he was ten at the beginning of black and white, but since then his age hasn't been mentioned at all, and he looks pretty 11 to me......
a year ago this was the first video I watched from you......I subed ur amazing!
I think this was the video that finally convinced me to read Pokemon Adventures. I'm halfway through the HeartGold and SoulSilver chapter right now and it's been a great read. Thanks JWittz!
Cmon JWittz, Digimon was the obvious answer at shows that successfully bring back protagonists as older characters.
Yu-Gi-Oh has that thing where they change up the characters after every series and so does battle spirits
i think the ho-oh theory is the most believable one.
+CaptainGrovyle me to:)
Fact: Animated characters rarely age. South Park is a rare exception and even then, they age slowly.
Here's one theory:
Ash Ketchum doesn't age because if he did, he would become Chuck Norris.
coughdigimon
I know, Pokemon has no reason to not change. Heck, when Misty and Brock left couldn't that have been the last we see of the guy? What if they even had Ash come back one day and he's champion over Kanto, that would be amazing! Though as much as we come up with cool ideas, or tell them kids will still watch the show even if Ash isn't the protagonist, they will never listen because the get paid either way so why try.>:T
thank you i thought i was the only one who watched it
sparkle girl
NOPE! I also watch *Digimon* even NOW!
I still need to watch season 2 and 3 of *Digimon Fusion*(or *Xros Wars* if you wish to go by the Japanese Version)
Nine_Tails137 There is a dub?
Astro Toad
If you're asking about *Digimon Fusion*, then YES! the First Season has an English Dub. AND is available on DVD(I know because I own a Copy of Season 1)
Season 2 and 3, I can't say.
However, Season 2 is supposedly coming out sometime in April 2015(according to my Sources) So, It wouldn't surprise me if the rest of the Series got Dubbed as well!
Wait what if he was born on a leap year
+Jaketube 200 explains a lot *lolol*
He would still physically age.

Dude i love the way you narrate your videos.. its the main reason i subscribed.. me personally im stuck on the fence about ash's age.. i would like to see him get older because i have.. i mean im 23 now and pokemon is still my favorite anime.. at the same time im so used to seeing him as he is now id probably flip if they aged him suddenly.. also related to one of ur other videos in which you mention a side anime revolving around ash's rival and friend richie.. dont think i spelled that right.. where is this side anime?.. because this is the first tme ive heard of it.
Not that this has anything to do with Ash's age, but anyone else wonder what he did with his ORIGINAL hat?
Just wondering, since he FREAKED out about losing his hat at the episode he caught his Primape at. xD
Probably left it at home, as a memory of his past adventures. He's grown mature enough not to be obsessed with the hat ever since that Primape episode. Personally, I don't mind now because he's currently wearing the hat I always wanted him to wear since Gen III.
Evan Pan-Bao Nice explanation! :D
Isabella Moore Hehe. Just watch my video called, "My Interview with the Chosen One - Ash Ketchum". I ask him a bunch of questions, including a question about his Official Pokemon League Expo hat. :)
AshFangirlLisa Okay, THAT is awesome. xD
Isabella Moore that is a good point if i remember the episode he enter some contest and sent in a bunch of letters to get that hat
what if ash is like nurse joy and there are many of them and all the series happened the same time :o
nice speculation but how does get all the pokemon from other regions
THEDEMENTEDONE01 pokemon logic. that's how
He does't he mearly has many of that pokemon that can use transform he then proceeded to cheat the pokedex that or there is some sort of poke exploder that spawned them
Funny to think that Red and Blue and arround their 20s in Sun and Moon.
Same with Hilbert and Hilda from BW, who were 16 at the time of BW2.
Pokemon XY anime comes out. Ash learned Bite! XD
I'm guessing the reason we want him to grow up is because we are growing up.
Came back for the Tim Duncan joke, you're awesome Josh.
"Tim Duncan never ages" - Video made in 2013
I totally lost it at that xD
Subscribed! You really make me think.
Kanto=
Red: Has gym leaders saying he's a newbie, caught all 150 pokemon, including legendaries, beat up the champion the first time.
Ash: Was the chosen one, caught 75 pokemon, thought it was a smart idea to jump in front of two of the strongest legendaries, and failed the championships.
man, Ash must have one heck of a year.
Spongebob does not age, because you can watch the episodes in no particular order. Same goes for Mario or Bart. You can watch one episode, without having to watch another episode in order to understand it, because there's no real progress in any of the episodes or games. In Pokemon, there is progress. Yes, you don't really have to watch all episodes to understand another one, but you get the point.^^
Thanks for the video! I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I noticed something recently after watching a string of the TV show episodes. While it's not all the time, there are numerous references to periods of time passing throughout the show.
I don't have an extensive list or anything, but off the top of my head I can recall several.
-3 months from a last badge to a given regional competition,
-X months since he has been home
-X days to travel between Orange Islands
-X days passing during a given episode
It would be a MASSIVE undertaking to watch all cannon episodes of the show, but it would be possible to compile a list of how many days pass during (and between) each episode.
This would not give a definitive answer to his age, but we could at least come up with a fairly concrete minimum number of days Ash has been traveling. Has anyone ever thought to do this or do you know of anyone who has attempted this before? It would be one of the most interesting new pieces of information for Ash's age in a while.
I have my own theory on why Ash is still 10, it's because the anime is basically the pokemon games, how the trainer you play as doesn't age (yes I already know characters do age through the game storyline, but not in-game), how no other characters have any in-game changes (especially the professor of every game), the same happens in the anime so I assume that the anime is just a way to represent the games and how there are barely any character changes throughout the games.
I like to think that Ash is the Doctor (Doctor Who) of Pokemon. From the games to the anime, new personalities, looks, etc. Perfect.
there is a trainer who is said to be the docter.
he looks like TENnant, the tenth doctor, and says he has some kind of mission to protect the world. i don't know which game he apears in but im guessing diamond and pearl (and platinum), since that is about the space/time pokemon.
and that he needs to deafet them to save the world, but when you win, he sees you are strong enough to take them on.
Now I'm going to be going through all the trainers in my Pokemon Pearl, just to see if I can find him.
jilles13nl His name is Looker.
Funny video, man. Loooooved it.
I just remembered how fun my childhood was. Good times.
i not really care about Ash's age much but the fact he still a noob all this time is annoying...
do you even english?
Zirus not everyone in the internet can speak english you know...
Kinda weird that I'm watching a 'subscribe to JWittz' ad...
On JWittz's channel...
When I'm already subscribed to him... _Nice job Google Ads..._
Watching this in a post-Ash world is crazy. First time I watched this was in 2014 in the 4th grade and now im starting my second year of college. Crazy how time flies lol
The other theory I could think of as to why he does not age, is the first movie where he fights Mewtwo. After he took the blast from both Mew and Mewtwo, maybe something happened there that stopped him from aging. After all he did take 2 attacks from legendary Pokemon, and was brought back to life with Pikachu's tears.
Realistic Pokemon:
Ash arrives in Unova with his Pokemon that should be at least level 70 from Sinnoh, since that's the level you're supposed to be in when you finish the Sinnoh games, along with a level 100 Pikachu, and burns down the homes of the Level 12 gym leaders.
2:51 in Black & White he is still 10 years old ._.
#thanksobama
#thanksobama
#thanksobama
I've heard that in Black and White 1, he is eleven and in the 2nd ver. of B&W, he is already twelve, so in X&Y, he looks older because he "is twelve", and yes, this is a hypothesis, I think is pretty close to it right?
Ash's route in the anime somewhat sticks with the games of BW. After awhile in BW, it turns a little more into BW2 (ghetsis' clothing, southwest unova...) If this is following the games, ash will be 12 at some point, it is often mentioned that BW2 took place 2 years after the original games.
Yeah, I have watched it and it is really impresive, but childhood plus the rare motive to play pokmon after watching an episode makes me watch that show
I think each seriez takes place in a different dimension, which is also why normally the characters from the past series don't appear or are though about much
Each new journey after jhoto reverts time with ash still keeping his original memories and data like a new game plus
I believe that the Ash Coma theory is actually the most realistic one i've seen. It makes sense if he went into his coma in this order. Ash got shocked by lightning, saw Ho-oh and blacked out, and so this allows him to be in a coma with eternal happiness which would make some sense.
Ash had one HELL of a year.
Sorry I mean he IS having.
TIM DUNCAN NEVER AGES!!!! LMAO, I DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING JOSH
Who's watching this after the big announcement
In the original language, Ash confirms he has 15 years old, in the American version they lied and always keeps him at the age of 10.
what series/episode?
my bad, I said "Ash confirms" I meant the narrator, it's the same episode that appears in this video where the narrator says "Ash Ketchum, 10 year old etc"
no it doesnt in japanese it says this is masara town in the kanto region, one of the boys living in this town is satoshi, who is 10 years old, he is 10 in japan aswell
I have a theory! Maybe Dialga and Palkia were just having a cup of coffee one day, and said, "Hey Palkia, let's keep this kid and his friends at the same age forever, they seem to love their life of catching and training pokemon.", "Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!". And THAT, is how this all happened... I think...
It's a better theory than more than half of ANY poke pastas. My god some of them are horrible.
its crazy.......i grew up watching the original pkmn anime but recently i watched pkmn origins and now its my current favorite pkmn......more origins plz.
JoJo does the different protagonists and bringing back old ones....
JoJo's anime wasn't even that popular in 2013 (it was probably not even released).
@@elecmetala7220 The current series started in 2012, there was an OVA made back in the 90's though. That said, I don't think it really was that popular outside Japan until Stardust Crusaders started.
His Legs are longer so I suppose he could be around 14.
I would have to agree with the Ho-Oh theory, actually.
minecraft
teeth wasn't the only change to ash, you could blame it on the fact that he wore vests hoodies and jackets, but he had definitely gotten slimmer in the new seasons. slimming him down could be one of two things, make kids want to be "slim and healthy" or the slimming was a direct result of growth spurts. this being shear visual i could go into research to see the size relations between ash and the people around him.
thing is Ash doesn’t _act_ 10. he’s pretty mature for his age. i’d day he acts (as of XYZ and S/M) about 13-16
I don't even watch Pokemon but I watched the whole thing. Not bad.
Ash isn't the only one who doesn't appear to age, look at the other main characters like Brock. Maybe he's still the same age when he first met Ash at Pewter City
for reasons I am unable to comprehend I have begun watching the series again from the start, in episode 9 he states its been 2 months since he started his journey so time is progressing pretty rapidly it seems. there have been other moments where time is mentioned as well.
Ash's dream of happiness, because he saw Ho-Oh, is never growing up so his adventures with his Pokemon would never end.
Fullmetal Alchemist. The one thing I never expected to see in a Pokemon video.
What about Ash being turned into stone in the pokemon movie by mew and mewtwo, and then being well unstoned by the tears of the pokemon, maybe thats why he is forever 10. idk just another theory
i get it
but ill make it more sence. when mew and mewtwo turned ash to stone. the pokemon crying didnt work. its what he thoght it did. and thats why he never ages. another coma thery exept stone added
Or you know the writers just want ash to be 10 forever to meet the age of the target audience of the show.
akaRyan FAN THEORY BRO LOOK IT UP
zach rasey *woosh*
no I got wat ur saying but these are fun fan theory's not cannon that's wat I was saying to u man
between episode 40-60 there was mention that Ash has been on the road for '3 months'. I think this was one of the episodes where he entered on of the coastal towns.
Digimon did a good job of bringing the original kids back having aged a little each time, and having more mature personalities.
