    Wait so Ash is almost 11 but in Ep. 1 Ash says "Now that I'm 10 I can finally get a Pokémon license".
    To be this implies Ash has just become 10 only a few days ago.
    After all, knowing Ash's personality, would he really wait for 10 months after his birthday before he began his journey?
    But since Gary was also starting his journey on the same day I guess this implies there was a specific date where trainers could come and get their starters and they can't just go immediately to Prof. Oak on their 10th birthday.

    4:14 this is why I love Pokemon. Take the character in my pfp for example. His name is Silver, at a young age him and Green (who you’ve mentioned before) were kidnapped by a masked man and forced to a life of abuse and servitude. They were turned into warriors, thieves, and just a bad bunch. Silver and Green manage to escape and encounter Red and Gold respectively. The manga doesn’t really treat Green or Silver as heroes or villains, rather as troubled individuals who are trying their best to overcome their trauma. If you look deep enough, Pokemon has a lot of love and soul put into it. It makes me feel like I’m not alone in my pain.

    Ash holds an everstone, he cant age. He will be 10 forever. xd
    Edit: But I have a theory on something: In sun and moon, ash joined the pokemon school near the start of the school year or something. Its probably been atleast a few months he has stayed in alola before returning to kanto. At the end of sun and moon in the extra scenes, you see professor burnet pregnant and now in pokemon journeys we see the baby so its probably been 8 months since the birth. So, the time in alola + the time during the birth. But dont forget that when Ash went back to Alola was episode 37, now its over episode 54. So, theoretically, if you add all of the time spent between it, it’s probably been a year and Ash SHOULD of had a Birthday. Also, don’t forget the 6 series before alola and journeys which adds EVEN MORE TIME in a year. But, knowing Pokémon, ash will stay 10 forever which means the baby will never have a birthday or anyone else.

    Hey Mat Pat,I did a video on this a little while ago and Ashs age will be by the time you finnish this less than it is at the end of this video. As you've put in your description the Pokemon Multiverse explains it all and the Ashs from Kanto-Sinnoh are 1 Ash (Or Ash A). Unova reboots with a different Ash and Kalos Ash seems to be a more grown up and a better battler being connected (Ash B) There then is the Alola Ash that would be an Ash C which would seem to be a reset because Ash is back in school and this ash may also be the same Ash presented in the I choose you movie which explains a slightly different history for him or could be yet another Ash. Also I noticed you didn't use the Pikachu short from the first movie which celebrates 1 year since Ash met Pikachu. :) Best - Toby
