Why is Ash Ketchum still 10 years old after traveling through 5 different regions?

I have never figured this out myself.

Biggest inconsistency in the history of anime, IMO.

Because the Pokemon anime is just one big advertisement for the games, and in the games the hero is 10, so therefore Ash is 10. It also makes him more relatable to the younger kids who would actually watch it.

I would never bother analyzing the show, Pokemon. It's obvious that it's so inconsistent, and nonsensical, it rivals the *****ing Looney Tunes... I, for one, consider it a Cartoon, and not an Anime.

Because you have to be ten to have a Pokemon apparently, except in Pokemon time never goes on after the chosen trainer Ash turns 10.. I always found it sort of disturbing he never aged... Dunno why.

It's to promote the games and basically all the kids who watch it are young... To be honest I only like Kanto region in the anime, the rest just suck to me.. Besides Hoenn.

I'm talking inverse-wise, not because of the whole marketing thing.

In-universe, a year hasn't passed since he first left on his journey obviously. Despite everything he's done, less than a year....

In movie 1 he was temporarily turned to stone which stunted his growth in all aspects.

Thankfully the topic isn't asking about Misty or Brock and why they haven't aged. :P

Ash stated I think when they got to the 8th gym in the original series that it's been a year since his been gone from Pallet Town.

If it stunted his growth than he should have reverted back to a new born baby.

And the narrator states at the beginning of the Black & White Season, that Ash is still 10 years old.

I have and I already know that the narrator said his 10 I just thought that was something to contribute to the thread on why Ash being 10 makes no sense.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I'm sure he has his 11th birthday in one of the series...

The whole anime is a mess really, thats why I've only ever bothered with it up to the end of the Johto series.

Why isn't Pikachu God is what I worry about...
