    Pokemon's main media is the video games developed by Game Freak and the other media generally follows that plot. Since Satoshi is not a character in the main media, his father (who hasn't been mentioned since the 2nd episode) won't be a plot point in the games, and he's never been a plot point in the anime.

    All we know about Satoshi's father is all we do need to know. He was a Pokemon trainer, just like Satoshi's grandfather. The connection a viewer is supposed to make, since it's the 2nd episode or whatever, is that it's in Satoshi's blood to be a Pokemon trainer. That's it.

    We've already had the deadbeat dad storyline done by Takeshi, and done fairly well.

    There are many rumors about Ash's dad, from Professor Oak to Giovanni.

    Personally, I believe that the mystery of Ash's dad is just that, a mystery. Not even Game Freak knows, because, well, he doesn't exist to them. Just like the guidelines of being a pokemon master don't really exist for the moment.

    Besides, this is a kids cartoon, not a day-time soap opera

    How are we supposed to know if even Delia doesn't know? Ooh burn.

    Anyway, it doesn't matter.

    Edit: It's Prof. Oak by the way. Fanfiction.net confirmed it.

    The creator admitted that Ash's Dad may or may not be added later on in the story, but only if it becomes necessary for Ash's maturing process. In other words, if Ash's character needs more developing and they are stumped, Daddy will be coming round the mountain.

    Personally, I'd like the idea of it being Giovanni, might be a nice contrast from what they will undoubtabley make which is an older version of Ash with a deeper voice and slightly better Pokémon. Lack of originality FTW.

    Maybe Volkner is his daddy.

    I wish Volkner was my daddy.

    we'll never know

    I don't think we'll ever know who Ash's father truly is.
    Even if his father is officially written into the story canon, it's probably not for us to know anyway.

    His daddy is Gary *shot by Gary fans* but there are sme crazy rumors about Silver, personaly I think we'll just have to wait for the writers to finaly put it in the anime but I can wait what do you think I've been doing for the past 13 years.
    PS: I think it's Giovonni

    Well, in pokemon Live Delia stated she was in a relationship with giovanni and was in his gang. Thats where the giovanni theory comes from... BUT she stated she left team rocket and giovanni for a better path when she met Ashs father... say byebye to the giovanni theory! Though she could have done somthing special with both giovanni and Ashs father in a close time... maybe she doesnt know LOL

    Although, I dont think pokemon live was supposed to be like offical... I think it was just fanbased... they had the rights but they didnt go over it with the creators etc...

    ALSO This is just a childrens program (that I adore)... and all this about relationships, etc would be too much for a small aged audience... I even bet the producers, writers etc dont know who ashes father is... Ashs father may not even exsist! XD

    I doubt they know it themselves. It isn't really needed to reveal it either. He could possibly appear in a movie, but i highly doubt that. I never thought about who Ash's dad was when i was little, so I doubt they will ever reveal it ^^.

    Pokemon Live! is "official" as far as being sanctioned by the powers that be. But unlike almost every other part of the franchise, it is exclusive to the United States. There is no Japanese equivalent of it. And while it's basically "The anime, except on stage", it is not part of the anime's continuity.

    I would like to know it, but I doubt it's going to be revealed anytime soon. I think I saw him in one of the flashbacks from some episode that I can't remember, but I'm expecting him to be someone who we really have no idea of.
