Wait, Ash is 10? He definitely doesn't vibe as a 10 year old at all in the English dub. Just going by the way the VA capture his voice, he's more like some dude who's going through puberty, so at least 12+.

I'm going through Bulbapedia, and some of these canonical ages just makes me go huh. Gary also starts out as 10, which is an even bigger head-scratcher. Like, wasn't the dude driving around in a convertible at some point? It makes him being surrounded by cheerleaders a lot weirder unless the cheerleaders were also 10 years old, which strains credibility.
