How old is Ash?

First topic message reminder :

Typically Ash is a ten-year-old boy, well on THE VERY FIRST EPISODE HE WAS. But now there just going to keep him a mere ten year old? To be honest he should be at least 18-19 years old, plus in episode 063 - "The Battle of the Badge", Ash stated 'I can't believe it's been a whole year since we seen Viridian", or something along the lines of that. And then not much is said about his age at all. So what up with that?

Especially the way they show em in the 10th Pokemon movie.

I know, they should have an episode where they go forward in time and see Ash as an old man. That would be weird.

What if this show continues to like 2100 and they finally say, 11 year old ash.

*nuke*

That would be surprising.

by then thered be too many regions and ther eowuld be know room for ocean on planet pokemon.

Ash isnt 18-19 nor is he still 10.....ash is 17 years old duh

He doesnt age in the ANime. In black and white anime at the begining they said he was 10.

I remember them mentioning that 1 year has passed around the time of virdian(second time they go through) and others mentioning months passing throughout the series but the show is aimed at children so i guess the writers want to make every region seem brand new or something for the next generation of children by keeping ash 10 and making him seem like a noob everytime he enters a new region.

Yeah i stated in the 1st post "plus in episode 063 - "The Battle of the Badge", Ash stated 'I can't believe it's been a whole year since we seen Viridian"

'Cause when you're kicked out of your house at 10 by your mother for whatever reason, you defy the laws of aging.

Simple logic.

He wasn't kicked out. It was his choice to set out on a journey with a disrespectful Pikachu.

he is suposed to be 30 but relly hes like 12

no, hes 10

yup he's 10, the first episode of the BW series confirms that

30 is an exaggeration dude. Maybe 15-16?

but he's 10 and that makes no sense whatsoever since episode 63 "the battle for the badge" says that it's been a year since they've been to viridian

soooo, stupid

writers don't know what they are doing anymore so they haven't kept up with all the times that years and months have been mentioned.

hmmm, lazy....

there must've been a writers change at some point of the anime then Ash might've been older

Lol

100 years later -

Ash Ketchum, a 10 year old boy, is preparing to go to the Fijika Region.

I can see that happening.

I bet by then Pokemon would be sooooo much different.

pokemon is already different

No but imagine 100 years later

i just thought maybe team rocket wipes ash's brain every season and only reemebers certain parts
