The Father of Ash

[Elite Trainer Raven]

I thought Red was based of Ash. *blinks confused* I dunno... oh... yeah.

I think he's like Giovanni's kid.

#1 Misconception due to the dub.

Games came BEFORE the anime. Not the other way around.

 

[Crystal Clair]

Thinking of my old beliefs, before I got sucked into the whole "Sakaki is Ash's father" thing, I always thought Ash's father was dead.
Didn't Delilah (I dont say Del!a) say, "Ash, your father would'VE been so proud of you."
Unless my ears were wrong, wouldn't that make Ash's father a thing of the past/non existing in the world?

 

[Snivi]

Personally I don't really care who it is. But I doubt its Giovanni or a Pokemon.

 

[Miss Reyna]

I don't think it is Giovanni but it could happen. It just going to be a hard pill to take down if that is true.

Ash's dad is just some trainer taht never came back from his training to become a pokemon master. Ash's father must have left after Ash was born.

But Ash's father isn't important to be in the story or they would have gave us more information on the topic. Notice nobody ever ask Ash about his father.

For those of you who think its Giovanni it's not.
As stated in Pok?mon Leaf Green/Pok?mon Fire Red
"Hey, your Giovanni's kid aren't you?, No, wait, Giovanni's kid has red hair". Ash's father is probably Lance (as stated above) that'd be the most logical one.

My old post (please note that the quote is 100% true) I don't think some of you saw it but still XD.

Isn't Lance too old young to be a father?
I'm guessing Ash's mother is a widow, and his father is some random trainer who went to beat the E4 but never came back home.

Well no one ever said his age, so theres still that possibility...

I think he's Gary's dad, and they're really half-brothers (well, they both have spiky hair XD). And this is in the wrong place. *reports*

Yeah, right, if his father was garys dad that would make Oak his grandpa, witch is strange 1. he never calls him gramps/grandpa like gary 2. They never see each other and from what I can see they hate each others guts XD (not a strong point)

Someone even say that he is dehlia's mr mime. i forget who say. I think it even prof.oak <why does he often go to dehlia house?>

well... *breaths in deeply* If professor oak was his father, gary (oak's grandson) would be younger then ash because of the fact of this... Easyer drawn then said ^_^

Not gunna happen, and Mr. Mime being his father is next to impossible (genetics).

Answer: Who cares? Satoshi's originally based off of Red, who has no father mentioned at all unless you look at an SNES game in the huge department store which mentions dad possibly liking a Sports game. Since both were only mentioned ONCE, it doesn't matter since they're not important to begin with. :O

People like me, and almost anyone else posting in this forum, have a link to the game and are close to obsessed with it, and we like to know the background.

read my post, if that dose'nt convince you... um... good luck ^_^

personally, i dont know, althoagh I dont think it is giovanni, I reckon it will be a character not yet introduced, and I think we will find out in the last ever series

Ahh, I like your idea...

Hope that clears things up a little.

You mean like how there's absolutely no background information in the games regarding the whereabouts of Red, Green, Gold, and Crystal's fathers (parents in Green's case)? Or whether Myuutwo was created by scientists or if Myuu really gave birth to it due to them saying one thing in the games and then having the Zukan entries say another? Or the background info on your rivals and such? Neither is displayed in any of the games. The anime's no exception. They're gonna leave us to dry because, simply put, the parents that aren't around AREN'T IMPORTANT.

And Satoshi's father isn't dead. When his mother was speaking of his dad in a past tense, she was talking about the fact that he wasn't around nor did it seem like there was any communication between the two. It was already mentioned that he had gone on a Pok?mon journey.

i seriously don't know but i'm suspicius of a secret professer out there who's always doing field work like emerald queen's reply

Just out of curiosity, have you been to the future or somthing? You act as if you KNOW this stuff...

 

[The Kraig]

It was those ****ed midi-chlorians again. (?_?)

D@mn is a bad word? The hell?

How many times was Satoshi's father mentioned? Once. Was he ever brought up again? No. What does that mean? HE'S NOT IMPORTANT. If he were, Pocket Monsters and Pocket Monsters AG would have thrown mentionings of him all over the place. If they didn't bring him up since 1997, when the anime debuted in Japan, why the hell would they bother to make him an important figure in 2005 or later?

Your still acting as if you know this stuff, no one but the top people in nintedo know if they will use ash's father in a animie, so don't start saying stuff as if you know. If you where Hiroshi Yamauchi I would think otherwise >_<.

Who knows, they could of had this planned from day one.

Well it seems late into the show to metion anything about Ash's father. If they metion anything about his father now then it be turning the anime into a soup. How boring is that?

The thing is that, Ash's father isn't that important. He has nothing to offer to the show or the characters. So what the use of metioning Ash's father? Even Ash's mom provide a role in the show. She provides support that mother can only provide. She always there rooting for him. I not sure about the AG championships but I look at those later.

 

[Elite Trainer Raven]

Please tell me why they would. It's been several years and only ONE mention was made of him. If he were an important character, he'd have had more than one mention. Might I also add that Satoshi's originally based off of Red, who also has no father around. e_e

Also note that Nintendo and GameFreak don't make the anime. They support it, but they don't make it. So it's not up to them what occurs unless it's something that's planned that they don't approve of.

 

[Mystic]

I know it might sound farfeched (no pun on the Pokemon), but could Bruno be Ash's father? He's the only E4 member to show up, other than Lance. And he looks as if he could be old enough to be his father. Just an idea that is.

 

[Elite Trainer Raven]

o_O That's not true. With this upcoming AG episode, all of the Kanto E4 members will have made their appearances. Genji (Drake) also made an appearance as well.

That I didn't know. What I was meaning was the oringnal E4. But I didn't know that the AG E4 will appear later on.

 

[Emerald Queen]

No, this isn't all that important, and we don't know for certain. But isn't that the fun of this? To talk to our fellow members, and learn their opinions, not to dis them?

At the end of the day, who Ash's dad is, or even if he has a dad, really doesn't affect games or cartoons in any way. It's a mystery, and we all like mysteries. We like to explain the unexplainable.

I have noted one thing: that no-one has suggested that Ash's parents are divorced, and that his father's moved away from Pallet town ( perhaps out of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn REgions too), to begin a new life with a new wife, and that Ash has a number of step and half brothers and sisters.

This is a point. Perhaps Ash and Gary are related in one degree or another? They are, after all meant to be rivals since babyhood. Could Ash's father actually be Gary's uncle? Or could it be his older brother? Do we know how old Professor Oak actually is? After all, he no longer does much field work. I'd say that makes him around 60 or so. If he's old enough to be Gary's grandfather, he could have a younger brother who was Ash's father.

 

[Elite Trainer Raven]

As I've pointed out before, the anime's bungled up Satoshi and Shigeru's history with eachother since the first episode tells us that they've never met before while later on it suggests that they've known eachother as kids. o_O; And I doubt Ookido-Hakase's related to Satoshi in any way. Lookit the third movie for example. He's still as old as ever in one picture while Hanako's practically looking to be in her 20s or something. Ookido seems to have known her since she was even younger than that. Unless he's some kind of pedo, I doubt he shares any DNA with Satoshi. >_>;

 

[Rukia]

I think Giovanni is his father. Ash and Giovanni NEVER had eye-contact, I think the directors did that because Giovanni is Ash's father. :\

 

[mew is real619]

i think that ash's dad probably a pokemon elite 4 person and should be revealed at the end of the hoenn series
