According to this article, Ask, May, and Dawn were all born within the same year. From my own knowledge, one of the movies that took place before the Advanced Generation (or, perhaps, it was in The Battle of the Badge as stated in the article itself) stated that it had been one year since Ash set off - making him at least eleven years old if May was ten at the beginning of Advanced Generation. Later, in "Date Expectations" (AG114), Ash says to May, "There's not going to be another Grand Festival for a whole 'nother year!" If we assume the most recent Grand Festival in the anime was the one in Kanto during Battle Frontier, that means that at the end of Battle Frontier, Ash would be at least twelve, and May at least eleven. If we assume that Dawn was ten at the beginning of Diamond & Pearl, then at the beginning of Diamond & Pearl, Ash would be at least twelve, May at least eleven, and Dawn ten. This shows at least a TWO-YEAR SPREAD of birth years, even though the article says that they were all born in the span of less than ONE year. Could this be resolved please? Thank you.

I second this. Each of them are at least a year younger then the last, however I don't want to change it without seeing more peoples thoughts on it. I also thought that in one episode it mentioned something about Misty being a year older then Ash, but I could be wrong.Can anyone else back me up on that?[[User:Ai Hikari|Ai Hikari]] 03:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Revision as of 03:40, 8 October 2007

It might be useful to note what is dated in the backstory. Here's the stuff on the top of my head:

  • 2 million years - First Pokémon dated by archaeology (EP163)
  • 200 years - Orange League taking place (EP095)
  • 50 years - Sammy Oak born (Pokémon 4Ever)
  • 40 years - Sammy Oak goes on his Pokémon Journey (Pokémon 4Ever)
  • 10 years - Misty born (EP003)
  • 10 years - Ash born (EP001, Shopro)
  • 10 years - May born (AG001, Shopro)
  • 10 years - Dawn born (DP001)
    • The four were born in that order
  • 7 years - Max born (Shopro)
  • EP005 - 2 weeks have passed
  • EP031 - Several months have passed
  • EP063 - A year has passed
  • Pikachu and Pichu - Second year has passed

All good ideas to add. --Pie ~ 23:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Problem, which I noticed when I went to take the anime info out of history of the Pokémon world - that article says 400 years ago. And the one on the Orange League itself says 300 years. What's the number? --Pie ~ 07:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I am a bit sceptacle on Jessie and James joining Team Rocket before Max's birth. --FabuVinny T-C-S 23:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Eh, true... --Pie ~ 23:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


Ash turns 10

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in Episode 1 saying Ash turned 10 on that day. All he says is "Now that I'm ten years old..." which means he could have turned 10 any time recently. The day seems to be one where numerous 10-year-old trainers are leaving Pallet - hence why Gary and the other two mystery trainers leave on the same day. Unless they're supposed to have the same birthday. --Pie ~ 16:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Even though it is possible that he did turn 10 the night before he got Pikachu, which is chronicled in the episode itself, it is far more likely that he and the others turned ten just fairly recently, and had to wait for Oak's give-away day. --TTEchidna 06:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Birth years of Ash, May, Dawn

According to this article, Ask, May, and Dawn were all born within the same year. From my own knowledge, one of the movies that took place before the Advanced Generation (or, perhaps, it was in The Battle of the Badge as stated in the article itself) stated that it had been one year since Ash set off - making him at least eleven years old if May was ten at the beginning of Advanced Generation. Later, in "Date Expectations" (AG114), Ash says to May, "There's not going to be another Grand Festival for a whole 'nother year!" If we assume the most recent Grand Festival in the anime was the one in Kanto during Battle Frontier, that means that at the end of Battle Frontier, Ash would be at least twelve, and May at least eleven. If we assume that Dawn was ten at the beginning of Diamond & Pearl, then at the beginning of Diamond & Pearl, Ash would be at least twelve, May at least eleven, and Dawn ten. This shows at least a TWO-YEAR SPREAD of birth years, even though the article says that they were all born in the span of less than ONE year. Could this be resolved please? Thank you.
