Do you really think that in the Anime the years never pass? I don't think so! --User:Haruka uzumaki 15 September,2007

That's the thing. The years pass, but the characters don't change. --DarkfireTaimatsu 02:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

"The passage of time is clear, but characters show small, if any, signs of aging. This is because the writers and character designs seem to ignore the issue of aging."
This seems more like restating the point than an actual explanation. TheGrammarian 13:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ash/Dawn

When and where was it stated that Ash is the same age as Dawn? - Cassius335 09:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Dawn's ten at the start of her journey. Ash has never ever celebrated a birthday nor indicated he was any older than ten. At the start of AG, Ash and May were advertised as "the same age", and May was ten. TTEchidnaFire echy 10:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
So just because we've never seen Ash's birthday, he's still ten? Come on... - Cassius335 10:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Guess what, Bull Crap! I hate the anmie ALOT. But in movie 3 short, Ash had a party for Pikachu being with him for a year. Scince he got a Pikachu at exactly 10, that means he must be atleast 11!--Quick Man 11:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

But, as TTE said, we have an official statement that Ash is still ten at the start of AG. Many series ignore the issue of aging despite the apparent passage of years - just look at the article on Comic Book Time in the external links. --FabuVinny |Talk Page| 12:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
He does have a point. It states that Ash has been with Pickachu for a year. Which was sort of obvious. Ash would be like 13 by now but silly people wont say that he ages. --Blake 01:30, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
The flaw in your reasoning is assuming that any sort of logic is used here. Seriously, look at stuff like The Simpsons or Detective Conan. Both are series that have been going for longer than Pokémon and clearly show the passage of years, yet the characters have not aged at all. It's just a cartoon, people. --FabuVinny |Talk Page| 14:08, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

OMG! Humans Evovle!

...Well, according to here: [1]. They have some otjer pretty wild theories, too. Should we include some of these theories? --Manga-in-a-bottle 11:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

That seems to be all filled with mumbo-jumbo... how could that help improve this article?--DRAGONBEASTX 01:13, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Uh, no. Linking to the page TV Tropes has on this phenomenon is fine but their intentionally ridiculous theories are not really mainspace material. --FabuVinny |Talk Page| 14:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
