Pokémon Horizonshas just revealed its next time of year , and though tending is target on the newaged - up purpose forHorizonsprotagonists Liko and Roy , the cosmos of a timeskip imply that the series might have also age up Ash as well . Nothing is confirmed at this meter , but if Ash has indeed senesce , that would be a Brobdingnagian step forward for his character and would no doubt be a large wad for fans of the serial who have been watch out him for decades .

The poster forHorizons’next season , titledMega Voltage , showcases an patently elder Liko and Roy . While they were around 13 throughoutHorizons , they are patently go to be either 15 or 16 in the new season . An double spread in the Japanese mag Corocoro confirm the time omission .

give thatHorizonsappears to take place in the samePokémoncontinuity as Ash , this suggests that , along with Liko and Roy , Ash will have aged too .

Why Pokemon Potentially Aging Ash Up Would Be So Surprising

The Anime’s Staff Has Previously Said Ash Would Never Age

Though whatAsh ’s age should be throughout thePokémonanimeis a matter of fierce debate among the serial ' fans , canonically , Ash has been 10 throughout the entireness of his 1200 + sequence streamlet . Despite many classic Pokémon fans wanting to see Ash age , Pokémon’sproducers have say that , should Ash appear again , he would still be 10 . This is part of what bring in the decision to geezerhood - up Liko and Roy so interesting .

By moving thePokémonanime ’s world forward a smattering of age , that course raises the question of what this means for Ash . IfPokemon Horizonstakes place either after or concurrent to Ash ’s final seasonTo Be A Master , as many fans would naturally assume , then Ash would have to be erstwhile as of Mega Voltage . unluckily , though , even if Ash is technically older , there is no warranty that fans will ever get to see an older figure for the iconic hero .

Pokémon Horizons Has Been Very Careful Not To Mention Ash

So There Is Some Doubt About If He’ll Appear

For a variety of intellect , Ash has yet to appear in or even be referenced byPokémon Horizons . The new anime series has been very measured to stave off referencing Ash , even take Liko and Roy only go up against gym leaders that Ash never meet . Ash might be iconic , but having him tag along with Liko and Roy or be a bearing in the new serial would put on the line taking the focus forth from the novel characters and putting it on an honest-to-goodness favorite .

Given this undoubtedly deliberate endeavor at nullify even the shadow of Ash , there is a clear-cut hypothesis thatPokémon Horizonsfelt well-heeled aging up Liko and Roy because it never had programme of have them interact with Ash . If that were the guinea pig , andHorizonsavoids Ash altogether , then the next time rooter see him could be pre - timeskip .

Many adult rooter are chagrined to watch the Pokémon anime , but there ’s no reason one should let the opinion of others affect what they delight .

The other ( more humorous ) opening is that Ash does appear inHorizonsand his age just is n’t address . He ’ll doubtlessly sport a unexampled design the next time sports fan see him , and the art elan ofHorizonsis tensile enough that it would n’t be inordinate to see a design for Ash that could easy pass for 10 or 13 .

Fans Should Remain Optimistic About Ash’s Potential Return For Horizons

Fan Demand Means He’ll Likely Appear At Some Point

Pokémon Horizonshas ran for almost two years now , so it ’s safe to say that Liko and Roy are more than set up as their own characters . throw this and the intense fan demand to see Ash again , it ’s likely thatHorizons ' cast will get to interact with Ash at some tip . Whether that involve him jaunt with the duette , or if it will be more of a fortune encounter in a movie remain to be seen .

The grown head then will be how he ’ll appear . alas for fans , thePokémonanime has n’t always been the best about maintaining its persistence , as evidenced by the fact that Ash is still 10 years old after starring in more than 1200 episodes of the serial publication . So even though Ash in all likelihood should be at least 13 or even 14 by the time ofMega Voltage , that ’s no promise that he will be . Regardless of what the serial does with Ash though , it still seems likely that the hoagy will reappear at some level inPokémonHorizons , it ’s just a matter of when .
