I love pokemon its awsome but I never understood this. WHere and who is ashes dad?

[Victor]

No one knows. He was only mentioned in Episode 1 that he was a Pokemon Trainer.
Many people rumor it to be Giovanni just like in Star Wars but that is highly doubtable.

[Relliks Ban]

I've always wondered the same thing. But Giovanni? That would be one epic twist to the whole thing. But I doubt it as well.

New info from Serebii.

Serebii.net - Where Legends Come To Life

-Shamin will automatically change to sky form when transfered to platinum.
-New Areas available all over sinnoh.
-The torn world, a place above Sky Pillar, utilized the DS's 3D engine like never before.
-The new characters in Eterna City are there to determine the change in weather, making sinnoh much colder, explaining the change in clothes.


Deoxys will have the attacks:
Iron Defense
Zap Cannon
Extreme Speed
Psycho Boost

hold item: Nevermeltice

Maybe Ash's father died on his journey or something. I mean, collapsed in the desert and was never found. That'd be sad. Or maybe he was turned into his Pikachu. ;]

^ Nice. Much colder...

I don't know about everyone else, but I miss the original 151... *sigh* Those were the days...

[Josh]

No. Alot of people say that it was on of 4kids translation mistakes or add-ins because that line wasn't in the original japanese epsiode, only the dubbed. People send lots of letters to 4kids, I think it was on the pokemon site for awhile, but since they don't make the anime thats up to japan and japan never had any part in mentioning ash having a dad.

Also anyone heard? My pokemon ranch released on june 9th and if you fill the ranch you get arcerus!!

They're still around. They just have 342 of their closest friends around to keep them company.

[SuperNova]

Is it the parallel world where Giratina resides?

Cool.

Lol I doubt about the Pikachu part but just look at Gary besides Professor Oak and his sister Daisy Oak (known by May Oak in the English translation of the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga) only in the manga she existed but besides those 2 relatives none of Gary's parents are ever shown, while for Ash it was just his mom although it does mention Ash's grandfather in the Japanese version.

I was expecting Deoxys to hold a much more useful item something like another Exp. Share would be nice.

[SuperNova]

What was Deoxys holding?

And I think Giovanni is Ash's dad.

Eh, Exp. Share downgraded from the original in my opinion. In the original game, once you have it, you can evenly distribute the Experience to all of your pokemon in the party. Great for raising a lot of pokemon real quick.

I loved the old EXP Share. it helped me so much. i could just use my raping Charizard on the entire Elite 4 and Gary to level up my Pokemon quickly multiple times.
