Remember...

The Anime's plot is different from the Manga's plot...

If not Giovanni, then why would the creators go through all trouble to make sure that Giovanni and Ash never met face to face.

And they didn't meet face to face in Mewtwo Returns!

This question has been asked so much, but I believe he is someone powerful we have encountered in the animé..or the old dude with the poké-flute ^^;

There are so many possibilities that I try not to even think about it though.

The Pokemopolis theory is really quite plausible. The dodgemasters believe Ash is the crack baby of Delia and Oak.
Just kidding. No one seriously believes that, right?
I think we have encountered Ash's father already, and not known it. And will never know it. Maybe Ash's father is the Force.
Kidding Again.
With all seriousness, I think the writers are waiting till the proper time to reveal him.

I'm surprise that no one has voted for Giovanni, yet.. 'Eating Pop-tart"

"Swallow"

Oh, well. There's always tomorrow...

P.S.: Why did I start this thread? Because it's FUN! ^_^ And I want to know the opinions of the members of Serebii.net.

P.S2: Knock it off with that Pikachu joke... I said LOGICAL reasons... But it was funny! :)

On the contrary,

To everyone:
And, please, read all the replies before you reply. ^_^;
 

The Great Butler

Hush, keep it down
Ok, I'll be blunt about it: I'm the one who picked Giovanni. I picked him because I honestly believe it is him. I agree on the point that it is strange he and Ash have never met face-to-face for two characters who've been in the series for so long. It *could* be Prof. Oak, though, even though I think he'd have told Ash by now. I'm thinking specifically of that picture in Spell of the Unown with Delia, Oak, young Ash, young Molly, and Prof. Hale.

"Claps for The Great Butler"

Thank you...

On one message board, there was talk about a Pokemon radio drama that only airs in Japan. In one airing, they metioned that when Ash was six year old, he got a computer. On the computer, he tried to look up his father's and grandfather's name in the Pokemon League Database, but he couldn't find them. So, he decided to ask his mom...

There were silence....

Then, Ms. Ketchum told him that they were just no longer registered with the Pokemon League.

On another message board, it's said that one would no longer be registered with the Pokemon League because they did something...bad...

Suspicious...

Other- the contents of the GS ball to be precise. Or could it be Ho-oh whose son is the sacred ash, part bird, part human? Seriously enough of this n00b question. We will never know who Ash's father is.

Don't be too sure...

If the creators never want us to know:

1) Why even metion Ash's father in the anime?
2) Why would they go through all the trouble to make sure that Ash and another particular character didn't meet face-to-face.

And for my own curiousity:

How could this queston be "noobish" if no one, but the creators, knows the answer to it?;194;

1) They mentioned him in the anime back in episode 2 when they thought they may reveal the mystery of ash's father. They also said they may tell us who Ash's father in Hoenn in a commentary in Movie 4. However, the writers stopped caring and decided to focus on more important things. Otherwise they would have told use around the end of Johto when all the mysteries of the beginning (Gary's starter, Misty's feelings) were all resolved. This is a similar case to the GS ball or Proffessor Ivy.

2) Ash has seen Giovanni face to face in Mewtwo Returns (I know its a special but it still happened). The writers probably planned to make Giovanni his father but threw that idea out the window.

It is n00bish because nobody but the creators know so asking it on a forum is a stupid idea. I bet even the creators never decided who Ash's father should be.

What? Exactly
maybe Ash's mom met Giovanni in a bar when they were both really, really drunk? anyway i said, it was probablly someone we'll never meet in the anime. It can't be a dead person because Ash's mom doesn't work so she has to get income from somewhere.
edit: i also highly doubt its Lance sinc he looks way to young to be Ash's dad.

Who IS Ash Ketchum's father? Is it Chef? Is it Mephesto? Or is it that little monkey guy that follows him around? Is it Jimbo? Or Officer Barbrady? Could it be Ned? Mr. Broflovski? Or is it the 1991 Denver Broncos?
