He's never going to become a Pokemon master simply because he is never catching every Pokemon out there.
Except it's never been stated anywhere that in order for Ash to become a Pokemon Master that he has to catch every single pokemon. If I had to guess what being a Pokemon Master entails it probably has some elements in common with the type specific masters in that it's probably a case of where while the type specific masters are able to connect with and understand and use any pokemon of their type, a Pokemon Master is able to connect with and understand and use every pokemon, now obviously there are probably more parts to it then this though.
I mean if you look at it Ash is shown to be able to connect with pokemon emotionally and seemed to be able to understand Lugia to some extent so he seems to be likely on his way to becoming a Pokemon Master, the main problem is that we don't have all the details about it to know what a Pokemon Master is specifically and everything that Ash has to do to become one.
