    That's what I keep saying. As cool as it would be for Riko to be Ash's daughter and as much as my shipping heart would love it - let's be honest - she's likely just a girl who saw Ash's final match against Leon and wanted to become an awesome trainer just like him. She became a fan of his, wearing that hairclip as an homage to his beginnings as a trainer.

    • @Kahadi
      @Kahadi Год назад +97

      Exactly, she is an homage to Ash, not his daughter. Named as a reference to Ash's VA, hair clip referencing the original hat (that symbol, btw, is stated to be the Pokemon League's official symbol, so it's not even specific to Ash). That's all. Saying she's his daughter also assumes the series will jump decades into the future, given Ash is still only 10 (maybe 11 by the very end) and she has to be at least the same age, so unless Ash becomes a teenage father, she'd be a newborn at the oldest in a decade and thus adventuring in two decades, at the earliest. They would also need to explain why she is in Paldea (Ash has never been there and has no reason to move there).
      An homage is not a biological connection.

    The theory I'm running with is that Riko is a fan of Ash who received her hairclip from him at some sort of fan event or whatever (and maybe the thunderstone) and thus, was inspired to catch up to him. I like this theory because it gives Ash room to be an adult without immediately being like 30 years old which just seems more likely to me.

      Being a fan of Ash would be fine as well. Having even an inkling of a connection to Ash would have been cool and what alot of the fans would want. Actually the idea of Riko having a rival that is Ash’s actual child would be a pretty cool idea too. The child hated being the “champion’s kid” and feels annoyed by his dumb antics but Riko still idolise Ash as a pokemon trainer, trying to convince him/her to maybe giving him a break.

    I could still see Ash giving Riko a thunderstone as a symbol of hardwork, might not be the same one but he'd have a positive association with a thunderstone and he gives it to her as such. If Ash is in fact Riko's dad I think it could still work out as Riko wouldn't have inherited talent from him and Ash would encourage her to do whatever she puts her mind to. Would be interesting to see her decide to follow in her dad's footsteps and realize she lacks any talent for it like she would expect so she has to learn the hard way. Then later on Ash challenges her to a duel to test her, and reveals he was talentless and had to work for his skills.

    Ash being the father of Riko have a lot of great story opportunity. For example; since Ash is now considered to be one of the greatest Pokemon trainer ever/Pokemon Master, Riko could be pressured to be as great as her father but struggles coz she doesn't have the same talent as her father does. Then later on, she'll discover that Ash once was an ordinary trainer and not even special but worked hard to be as great as he is now. That could be great lesson to her that hard work can beat natural talent. But I'm fine even if she's just a nobody and doesn't have any relationships with Ash.

      Hope they keep telling Ash's story and what he's been up to in the background of the episodes. Like posters announcing a battle or him showing up on a TV hinting at what his plans are.
      Hope they give him a new look too. Hype up the inevitable Riko vs Ash fight. And who knows, maybe some of Ash's companions will show up to teach the protagonists with stuff they learned traveling with Ash, so that way, it all comes back to Ash and his journey in a way.
      We just have to enjoy the last episodes of Ash's journey for now.

    Considering that Dawn appeared in alot of episodes of Journeys, way more than any other of Ash's past traveling companions, it kinda to make sence.
    She deliberately went out of her way to go out where Ash was at the moment (sometimes even to different regions other than Sinnoh), or even inviting him for some festivals and events. Of course there were times where they would invite each other for help, or to stop a world ending event, you know a typical monday
    Sometimes there was little need for her to be in the episode in the first place.

    I honestly think there’s also a strong chance they aren’t really related at all. Ash will become a legendary mythical status of a trainer like Red did, like yugi did in yugioh. And fade into the background going on whatever quests he wants. But he may give or trade a Pokémon to the new characters similar to how yugi gave jaden his winged kuriboh. I don’t think he will give him his pikachu or anything. But maybe an evee or a pichu. Ash will recognize their potential as a serious trainer and by giving him a Pokémon he’s essentially passing the torch like yugi did. But he will still be around occasionally and mentioned often. Especially in the history class at their school, a young trainer who wouldn’t evolve his pikachu who saved the world countless times.
    Also Brock and vulpix girl, the only romance that matters.

      Seems like Rika would be the actual main character and Roy being the accompanying characters to Rika. But yeah, its still possible for Roy to be a child of Ash but overall speaking feels kinda unlikely. I thought Roy might be related to Kiawe from Sun and Moon(Alola) because of his bright pink(red) hair and dark(tanned) skintone, but it could be also be anyone from Alola since dark and tanned skintone is common in that region. This would make the possibility of Lana being the mother of Rika alot higher since the 2 kids could both come from Alola and traveling together in a new region, plus Ash is the first champion in Alola, making the reason for Rika to idolise him alot higher, giving them some sort of connection that the fans would want.

    “In the setting of the animation the main character ash is forever ten years old and the background season is forever early summer”
    “Sometimes it gets cold in the mountains or it could be hot, those changes happen by traveling”
    “Fundamentally it is forever early summer and he is forever ten years old and on top of that a day of summer vacation repeats perpetually”
    “This is what I hoped to create”
    “ a view of the world that would be ideal for children (addlibbed by me: and young at heart)”
