Well some of あなた think Ash ages. Some say he's in a coma. Some say Ash doesn't age. I say Ash does in fact age. Time there goes によって slowly. I will say that about a 年 is 1 Pokemon months. How does this relate to my theroy? Ash never had a birthday in a long time in real life. He is 12 I would think and events that people say that are yearly is actually monthly. The only proof that I have is that Ash is still the same age (in this case 12) then curtain events that happen yearly occur. So a Pokemon 年 is 5 times longer than in real life. That is all on this short theroy.
