How old is Ash Ketchum?

[Gai Ketoji]

depends
first season at least 12
second season at least 14 cuz he doesnt have the girl voice no more
3rd season 16 cuz hes practically travelled across the world
4th season 18

There are several things wrong with this.

1. Ash hasn't aged
2. It was clearly stated in the first season that Ash is 10 not 12
3. Ash has the same Japanese voice actress as he did when the series began, what his dub voice sounds like means nothing
4. Ash's new dub voice is still female anyway
5. Ash hasn't practically traveled around the world, the places he has been are simply regions in one country

There are many possible age's.
I would say 16.

There aren't many possible ages. He's officially still 10.

Pokebeach Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka

Now an overall question about the show. Will Ash ever become a Pokemon Master? He laughed and fell back on the couch. He blatantly said that when Ash becomes a Pokemon Master, the show will end. It will be the last episode. Going back to my first interview, I did not mention that he stated the show was cyclical because it could be the audience is constantly replaced (since children get older and leave, and new children come in), so they are allowed to get away with having the same repetitive goal. So, the show would probably continue the same way collect badges, travel through different regions, never age. Will Ash and Pikachu ever be replaced? No. Will they ever age? No. Will there be a 5th generation of Pokemon and will the show keep continuing? He laughed even harder and said of course. Pokemon will continue for many generations to come, and as he made it sound, probably forever.

I say 11 or 12.

[mariksgirl14]

hes either 10 or 13 sweatdrop question

[hiyu23]

i thin ash is only 15 0r 14 becouse he travel 5 years or 4years.
the maker of is fault thats way i don't know how old is ash they don't put the birthday

I've seen lots of things that say he's 10, which makes no sense because they've mentioned time passing in the show, and I doubt anyone could make it through three, almost four regions in one year.

Lots of people say 20 something, which makes no sense either. Sure, if you're counting time since the start of the show he'd be 20-something, but it's weird that people think that the time that passes in the show is equal to the time that passes for us. Don't forget that, for every week that goes by for us, their time only goes by a few days, or even half a day in some cases, so their time would go by much more slowly.

I think that 14-ish makes the most sense. I don't care if official sources claim they don't age, that just makes no sense.

Ten. My theory is that the Pokemon world has a very vey VERY long year. One that equals twenty of our Earth Years.

That's a VERY good point. The Pokemon year may very well be longer than our year.

20 at least.

[mia ac]

12 cuz he hasn't hit puberty cuz he doesn't have a beard twisted twisted twisted

[Fireguy93]

More Pokemon?
Heck yeah!
>D
And Ash is pretty tough for a 10 year old. I mean, the kid jumps off of cliffs and gets blasted by Pokemon attacks and yet he has not even a scratch.

[renjiabarai06660]

they said u have to be atleast ten years old to be a pokemon trainer and that was like 5 or 6 seasons ago so hes prolly 15 or 16
