Ash’s Age

Was commenting on Reddit then realized it was too long so I just cut it short here are my “fuller “thoughts

Canonically and as of journeys he is 10

But when you do the simple math of about 1200 episodes divided by 365 days a year and assuming an episode is a day (the multiple days in an episode and the multiple episodes covering a single day, balance out for simplicity)

1222/365=3.34

That’s about three years meaning 13 years old

So I think it would take a lot of work from the movies and specials to push Ash to 14 and over, let alone for the people who think he should be like 35 because of the 25 years since the anime started

I generally think 10-12 years old is better, it's still in that he’s a kid but not a teen range which makes more sense for Ash. As I think if they were to have said before Ash is 11 somewhere and 12 in journeys it would be no big deal

Obviously people would freak irl since he would have finally aged but in universe it doesn’t matter as it's just saying the traveling has been about 2 years

And honestly 13 either, I think so many see 13 as the teenager year they start associating it with stuff like dating and puberty and etc. But that’s not everyone, some start later (some earlier) Ash can still be a childish 13 year that hasn’t hit puberty and etc

And others like Serena would be like 12 in this case, are way more aware of stuff like dating since they are going through that process

And in other aspects, it kinda implies that a character like Brock is 18 now if the 15-year-old idea is correct which can make the Doctor thing line up more as he would be an adult

But basically to try not to contradict things too much

Original Series (Kanto-Johto) was 1 year [10->11]

Advanced to Diamond and Pearl (Hoenn - Sinnoh) another year [11->12]

Then Best Wishes (Unova) to now is [12->13]

As OS took longer than most series (276ep) and multiple things implying a year happened in that series alone

Hoenn (191ep) I think it’s reasonable to believe Ash is 11 and May can be 10 and lends more to he’s more experience here and in Sinnoh (192ep)

Then in Unova mostly because of the soft reboot can signify a new year, and the series starting in BW(140) are not as long as the previous series (at least episode count wise)

OS is about the same length as BW and XY (140) combined and AG and DP combined is more than SM (145) and JN (currently 136) combined and slightly less if you add XY

Obviously it's not exactly that range

Based on episode number Ash turned 11 in AG, 12 in BW, 13 in JN as I doubt every transition series started on Ash’s birthday but I think the breaks and transitions between series can mark cut-offs better as series like AG and DP go together BW and XY, SM and JN

Again I didn't go through every episode to see how many days each episode was, I'm not considering the weird seasons taking place in short periods of time, and how the schools there work, and etc

As I think journeys alone makes it so that they've gone through like 3 seasons (spring summer fall IIRC) and based on my personal journeys tracker, it's been around 130 days which would be about one season

So yeah Ash is 10 years old but based on the anime episode/day count he would be about 13 years old

And if you want to add the movies, specials, and such you can stretch to maybe 14 years old

Grammar time

This was my mams when she was in school and she gave it to me. It has everything from how to congugate regular verbs and every irregular verb, how to put things into questions, how to reply in the affirmative/the negative, useful question words, prepositions, all of the essentials. It's okay if you don't understand all of it, I didn't at first, but now I love this cheat sheet
