==Passage of time==
It is worth noting that, while there are events that may mark the passage of time during the main storyline of the anime, most characters show little sign of aging. This is most striking for the young characters who are generally the main characters. Flashbacks often show characters when they are younger, but, for the most prominent example, {{Ash}} is identified as 10 years old from [[EP001|the beginning of the anime]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyt2GKb6qWw&t=120s Pokémon – I Choose You! [FULL EPISODE&#93; | Pokémon: Indigo League Episode 1 - YouTube]: "And now that I'm ten, I can finally get my Pokémon license."</ref> to the end of the [[S25|25th season]].<ref>Ash's [https://www.pokemon.co.jp/tv_movie/anime/ character profile] (in Japanese) mentions that he is 10 years old as of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.</ref>
While this issue is largely unexplained, the [[Pokémon.com]] {{DL|Pokémon.com|mailbag}} did [http://web.archive.org/web/20030402094510/http://pokemon.com/letters/2002916.asp address] Ash's age in September 2002.
<blockquote>Ash Ketchum was indeed ten years old when he started, but he is ageless – since the beginning of the show until now, Ash has become an icon, a legend, like Mickey Mouse. But Mickey Mouse doesn’t look 75 years old (although he is), and the same goes for Ash.</blockquote>

Latest revision as of 17:21, 18 March 2024

292Shedinja.png The contents of this article have been suggested to be split into multiple pages by series.
Please discuss it on the talk page for this article.
A map of the Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions in the anime; locations of movies are deliberately marked, and labeled Pokémon are positioned in relation to the locations of certain episodes.
If you were looking for the character ages, see List of character ages.

This is a chronological list of significant events in the anime and the episodes which they occurred in, or, for events which happened outside the series, where they happened in relation to the episodes.

Passage of time

It is worth noting that, while there are events that may mark the passage of time during the main storyline of the anime, most characters show little sign of aging. This is most striking for the young characters who are generally the main characters. Flashbacks often show characters when they are younger, but, for the most prominent example, Ash is identified as 10 years old from the beginning of the anime[1] to the end of the 25th season.[2]

While this issue is largely unexplained, the Pokémon.com mailbag did address Ash's age in September 2002.

Ash Ketchum was indeed ten years old when he started, but he is ageless – since the beginning of the show until now, Ash has become an icon, a legend, like Mickey Mouse. But Mickey Mouse doesn’t look 75 years old (although he is), and the same goes for Ash.

Timeline

The order of many of these events is approximated and debatable.
