12 Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Ash Ketchum

He’s Only Caught 80 Pokemon So Far

Yes…. ONLY 80. While the number may seem like a pretty high count of Pokemon to catch and have registered to the Pokedex, you have to remember just how many Pokemon there are. With the new additions from Pokemon Sun and Moon, there are now a total of 802 Pokemon. It’s even more disappointing when you realize he only currently owns about 70 Pokemon. According to Bulbapedia, “[Ash] currently owns 68 (including 30 Tauros) thanks to evolution, trading, and other changes of ownership.” Seems like Ash needs to do a better job of catching em’ all.
