Making characters "grow up" or mature is always more positive than negative in my book, I never understood why they didnt went that way

Because after growing, some characters like Satoshi's mother or Prof. Oak could... emh... Flee from home! And death is something they don't want to adress even in the videogames. "Lavender town? Never again!" they seem to have said.

Iris is confused!
She hurt herself in her confusion.

I too can traverse several different countries entirely on foot in under a year. Yep.

It's actually quite possible. It's even possible to walk from California to New York in just roughly two to three months (and there are states in the U.S. that are larger than small countries), though you'd have to walk around a whopping 50 miles a day to pull it off. Very much possible, but unlikely to say the least. Also, you have to remember...

If you want to get technical, Ash hasn't been traveling to different countries. Remember, each region represents an area of Japan. So Ash has just been traveling around *one* country.

Except in Unova. Now he actually is in a different country.

...That the regions in Pokemon are just that; regions, not entire countries in of themselves as Pata-Hikari points out, and regions of Japan at that (we have individual states that have far more land mass than all the islands of Japan put together). Unova is based on New York, and not even the entire state of New York at that, but just one region of it.

So its perfectly possible to walk through five regions (Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Sinnoh, ad Hoenn) in under a year, even taking some time to take in the sights (especially since he didn't 'walk' through the Orange Islands, he had his Lapras swim him from one island to the next and it presumably swims far faster than a human walks). Though there is a world of difference between "take in the sights" and "get into a new adventure on an almost daily basis". That kid gets into so much freaking trouble it should have taken him at least three years to get through it all, especially since some of the earlier episodes had him ad his friends complaining about being lost for days at a time.

Reminds me of that scene in Let the right one in, not sure if it was in the overseas version.
"I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time."

Humans must evolve like Pokemon. He's Ash the Preteen, and for some unknown reason hasn't yet gained enough experience to evolve to Teenager, despite enough time passing that he could reasonably have evolved to Adult by now.

Maybe he swallowed an Everstone at some point?

Nah, Pikachu just keeps pressing B-button after each birthday.

Even if he is 10 he should be legable to get a car, considering Gary Oak had one and was an experianced driver already...then again, that might be just because he is Gary Oak.

I'm starting to believe the Pokemon Movie 1 theory. The Pokemon tears that brought Ash back to life probably stopped his aging as well.

I propose my own theory that encorporates EVERYONE that has journeyed with him and pretty much not changed. "Too much exposure to legendaries." Legendary power changed everyone who encounters them too much, thus stopping the aging process, or at least slowing it greatly. It...makes sense, in a way.

Obviously somebody is going to give him a car if he drives one.

Even if it wasnt in real time, theres no freaking way some of seasons was only 1 year.

In the black and white anime, the narrator says Satoshi/Ash is still ten.
TIME PARADOX!
The seasons do change every so often in the anime, so he must have at least been at it for a few years.
Unless...
Oh nose! Satoshi/Ash must be (dun Dun DUN) a VAMPIRE!!!

I meant the anime character, I know they replace the guy in each game, you'd have to not play the series to think otherwise.

I was thinking like each game iteration would get a series that more or less followed the game with maybe a little bit of extra stuff but it would END at some point. Does that convey my idea a little better?

Which would also do a better job of advertising the new games, which is after all the whole purpose of the anime.

Not that Pokemon games even need to be advertised.
