Ash's Dad

XDDD great story.. quite the imagination ^^ just kiddin.

I don't think it's Lance... they've seen him too much in the Anime...

and i'm starting to doubt Giovanni... but why the heck does Meowth keep giving those little stories about him? are they trying to make him seem like a bigger character?... see it COULD be him! O.O

Ash's mom did say somthing in the second epi... she said "It took your father weeks to get to Viridian when he started his pokemon journey." It's all in past tense tho... so he could've died. ~_~

Prof. Oak... that's gross. he's Gary's GRANDPA... that'd make him and Ash related somehow... i just don't think they are...

Mr. Mime? Heck no. XD

The Narrator could be a very good possibility... but it the english one he changes in the middle... that kills his chances a little bit. XD

Good theories though... i just really don't knoew WHO it is...

I heard once that Ho-Oh was Ash's dad's reincarnation. LOL O_O really weird!!! it's a mystery forEVER!
 
Has anyone here got any insight from the manga?

Cause I know they are completely different stories, but if Red has a father, should't Ash have one, considering that they are similar characters.

But in Pokemon Adventures/Special, Red doesn't have a father ... I don't even recall him being mentioned.

Anywho, I don't think that we'll ever see him.

That'd made Gary Ash's nephew o.O

And Giovanni is Silver's Dad, is he not?

I always figured Ash would've actually KNOWN who his dad was. Delia looks like the type who'd blather on about her husband, like "your father this" "your father that" and show Ash pictures, so I almost doubt he's a character we've actually seen before.

As for appearing in Shinou; I'm gonna wait till that's confirmed to get excited about it ._.

And if he does appear.. WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME! >P
 
Wow...

Ho-Oh as the reincarnation of Ash's Dad?

Makes sense. He was featured in the first episode.

Now excuse me while I go laugh my head off... again.

There. Now, which Arabic forum was it? Me no likey the evidence unless we know where it came from...

And what would Ash's father be like?

I wonder...

I don't why we actually care, considering he just got up and left his family.

There may be an explanation, but until we hear of it, I'm gonna think he's a jerkbag.

:P
 
I don`t think we`ll ever find out about Ash`s father, it`s been at least 400+ episode`s and there hasn`t been a single clue. But I still think Ash`s dad is a Gym Leader is some far away region.
 
I really doubt Prof. Oak is his father, Because hes like 200 years old! Or something, lol,

The narrator, i think its Ash of the future telling his tale, and when it becomes the last episode, (which will never happen), it might show ash like 50 years form now, explaining to his son what he did, and how he did so much stuff, and then he passes away, then ashes son takes ashes pikachu and starts a new journey traveling even new regions, where as we will all be here discussing in this thread, "WHO IS ASH's SON'S MOTHER!!??"

Ehehe.. i just made a story xD

LOL LOL LOL XD Great story..This thread is halarious.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Not to mention Ho-oh being the reincarnation of Ash's dad (poor Ho-oh XD)
And Mr. Mime being Ash's dad is just cruel.. (I mean who would possibly think of that Mr. Mime is way cooler XD)

I do like the idea about Giovanni being Ash's dad.. too bad they didn't show it in the anime though.. I kinda imagine poor, innocent, young Delia falling for the dark, mysterious, sexy mob chief Giovanni.. guess she kinda got bored of being just the usual wife and mother and wanted.. MORE.. XD
 
umm, for people who say he wasnt mentioned in any episodes, well he was in the 2nd or 3rd one. Mrs Ketchum says 'Your father would be so proud' or something like that

EDIT: heres a scary thought....
i was just thinking that guy who had the surfing pikachu?
just a wild thought... lol thats all

I think someone mentioned in Wikipedia that a Pokemon play, which I forget the name of (I know it had the song 'Double Trouble' in it), Pokemon Live?

Anyways, they hinted at a possible Giovanni-is-your-father. However, seeing as the Japanese didn't have this play, and that Ash looks funky, I don't know if Giovanni is really a candidate.

Plausible? Yes.
Ideal? No.

LOL.

Anyways, blah blah blah... That would be scary if Mr. Mime was the father of Ash, but it wouldn't make sense. I believe there was this one episode that Mrs. Delia Ketchum gets the Mime from the circus in the early saga. But I looked at Serebii.net for that, so I may be wrong.

And for that other guy that said Ash's father was cruel, and that he walked out on the family:

He is a Pokemon trainer. Pokemon Trainers have to leave, explore many places, even Delia mentioned it. Ash Ketchum is a prime example of a Pokemon Trainer. He leaves, only visits after every series is finished, then he leaves. I believe that the father also does this kind of thing, but that they actually never meet together, or chat it up.

And Japanese always does something like this. They always make it a mother-son relationship with almost always no father.

I guess the Americans kept it that way as well.

PS: That was long... :paranoid:
 
maybe he'll be the champion of the shinou league??
who knows?
 
mayybbee..
mayybe
but after so long? i dont really think so
maybe he's bruno? (ashs dad that is)
but bruno looks more like brocks dad, even though he isnt..
 
maybe he'll be the champion of the shinou league??
who knows?

Wow.. they'd be cool.. I mean, Ash's dad has gotta be someone great and not someone mediocre in the show. Afterall, it did made fans speculate some bit about him.. the show can't let us fans down I suppose.. hahas.
 
Okay a few things....Oak cannot be Ash's dad...that would make Ash and Gary father and son or uncle and nephew and thats just wrong..., and I never said that Deliah could reproduce, what I ment was when Ash was young maybe his father died as a important person like perhaps he was the former League Champion who was above Lance, and thats why Lance and Ash act alike since its possible like Lance was Ash's dad's apprentice XD...
 
xD! That story was funny

Anyway, I bet that on the last episode he'll finally meet him or something. And his dad will tell him how proud he is and all.

But, if that doesn't happen, I would just assume he died, since Black Hedgehog is right. If Oak was his father, then Ash would have to be Gary's uncle, or dad even 0_0.

wow.. how did you get the idea of Lance and Ash's dad relations? hahas. interesting.. I didn't even notice that they acted alike.. thanks for bringing this up though, it urges me to go watch that episode again~ tee heex xD
 
There is a possibility that his father could be hinted at further in the recent Diamond and Pearl Saga, who knows he might be part of the elite 4 or even show up in a DP-based movie, even though it's resally early to start speculating over that.
 
If they haven't told us by now, I don't think that they ever will.

It's not like a biological father figure is important to the series, so why would they waste their time on it?
 
heys~ I just got a crazy thought. what if Ash's father plays the part of a villain? lols. like perhaps the leader of the new villain team in diamond/pearl.. o.o
