![]() ![]() ![]() Subject to fan speculation and very occasionally investigated in probably non-canon side-stories, Ash's family is seldom permitted to shine. Who is Ash's father? Why was Delia Ketchum perfectly fine with sending an 11-year-old boy on a perilous adventure with only a rat for a guardian? This article attempts to answer these questions and many more! Periodically, a spin-off touches upon the Ketchum family's legacy, although Ash's ancestors have remained shrouded in mystery. Once in a while, the trainer's mother shows up for a brief cameo, but parental supervision is not a priority for anyone living in Kanto. Unfortunately, the boy takes after his father.Įven though the anime has aired more episodes than One Piece or The Simpsons, Pokémon has revealed very little regarding Ash's family or childhood. If the trainer resisted the urge to annually reset, Ash would undoubtedly have won a couple of competitions. With the exception of his trusty Pikachu, Ash routinely abandons his companions, in favor of shiny new toys worthy of resting on his belt. Anime's perpetual pre-teen has dedicated the best part of the last two decades to exploring distinct regions, capturing wildlife, and failing to secure a Pokémon League. ![]()
