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?

i actually think, if he did age, he'd be borderline 15/16

A little older than that.

but that's just my opinion, or how about borderline 16/17, but 17 is a bit too old in my opinion

I always thought the pokemon league challenges took place once a year which would make him about 14 plus however long it would take in the battlefrontier and the orange islands but in the end he is still 10.

yea, and we can't argue with the writers, though realistically, if each pokemon league took place every year and let's say the battle frontier and orange islands took just about a year and a half combined Ash could be about 15 and a half or just over 16 because of how long sinnoh took

The wirters don't care, they wont age him.

nyeh, they made him seem to imature

Yeah. I really wish he wud age though.

he's just to immature for his age that might be a reason why they won't age him

I don't like the fact that he doesn't age and is still 10 but it might explain some things like why he hasn't seen pidgeot. By real life standards he hasn't seen pidgeot in years but by the anime standards it's only been months which isn't too long i guess.

the fact he's 10 eliminates the fact that he had caught and released his other pokemon

It's kind of weird how you would keep a kid at ten for a whole 500+ episode series and have them say "it's been a year..." but sustain the age. It's not like at some point people will catch on and notice there'little' mistake.

someone needs to send an email to the pokemon creators telling them they made a mistake

Does anyone know who exactly to email?

that's a good point, but since they're in japan..... i don't think we should at this moment in time

I've wanted to send an email to somebody for years but i never knew to who exactly and the "Battle of the Badge thing might have been an english dub thing and not have existed in the original japanese episode.

yea and we all know who's to blame for that *cough*4Kids*cough*

Haha. Do they rlly dubb it or do some uther ppl dub it and they just press play?

i think they just put that in for filler conversation, i think the people who dubbed episode 63, were different to the people who dubbed the 3rd pikachu movie

Oh 4kids you are so retarted.

how do you know they dubbed it?

Cuz 4kids was dubbing around the time that aired in the USA.

oh...well that explains alot then...i thought they just aired the episodes

No there lots of dub edits.
