12 Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Ash Ketchum

Pokemon Training Is In His Blood

The Pokemon series doesn’t tend to mention Ash’s father or grandfather much, but Ash actually comes from a line of successful Pokemon trainers. While there have been tons of speculation and rumors about who Ash’s father is, all we really know is that Ash’s father and grandfather are apparently Pokemon trainers who are out on a journey of their own. This is picked up from a few small bits of dialogue from Ash’s mother but in the midst of all that has happened in Ash’s life, it seems like he’s never crossed paths with his father again since he started his own Pokemon training adventure… or has he? There’s a popular fan theory that suggests Team Rocket’s own leader, Giovanni, could be Ash’s dad. Cue the mysterious background music.
