ok this is something ive realy been thinking about. How old is Ash? when the show started he was 10 right?(or 11 Im not sure) ok so then he's 10 right? but the shows been going on for what about 8 or so years? and even if he is still 10 then who in there right mind! would let a 10 year old go out and fight bad guys and go around the world!!! so i dont know what to think of the show.


(sorry for spelling and not haveing the facts)

Ash was definitely 10 when he started and upon arriving in Viridian City to get the Earth Badge the narrator mention that it has been a year since his first arrival, making him 11. From the theory that it takes him around a year to travel each region most people have Ash as 14, maybe 15 years old.

We know he has had at least two birthdays, the first being what Vycksta mentioned and the second being in the Pikachu & Pichu movie short, when Ash mentions it being the anniversary of when they first met (they met on his tenth birthday IIRC). Can anyone remember any more canon stuff?

i think he's like 17( he's gone through puberty, but his height didn't change....) because about 6 years has passed in his world, and also in the beginning, i don't know for real but i heard the narrator say Ash finally reached his 11th b-day so he gets to get his pokemon or something like that.

To be honest I think they are the only two instances mentioned in the anime.

I have no idea why i'm talking about this when I cannot stand Ash, but hey!

@ itsme: It wasn't his 11th birthday that was mentioned by the narrator, just the fact that it was a year since his last visit to Viridian.

Well, since his first visit to Viridian was perhaps only a day or two after his tenth birthday it's a six and two threes, so to speak.

True, but I was just stating the point that the narrator didn't mention it being Ash's actual birthday on the day that he came to Viridian for the second time. *nod*

i dunno i agree with all the theories so far, in real time he should be like 17 or 18 but by the show's time it'd be like 14 or 15... the latter theory makes me sense to me because.... i actually don't think ash sounds any older, he still sounds very young, he doesn't sound like he's been anywhere near puberty, if you compare his voice to brock or tracy or any other guy thats been in the party, he still sounds very much like a little kid. his voice actually sounded more husky at the beginning of the series... its gotten more nasal now. but whatever :)

Er...by now, since it takes almost a year to get to the Pokemon League...he should be about 13 - 15
Not old enough to drive but...still. XP

Guys think about it. The show has 500 episodes. Each episode is 1 day with a few execeptions. So only about 2 years have passed in the show give or take.
