In the earliest episodes, he made his journey to become a Pokémon Master with friends [[Misty]] and [[Brock]], each with a goal of their own. Throughout the years, everything from Ash's clothes to the people he travels with have changed. He is first dressed in a dark undershirt, blue and white short sleeve jacket, and blue jeans. He is then seen wearing a dark blue hoodie in the Hoenn episodes, and a white shirt with a dark short sleeve jacket in the Sinnoh region.

Ash's only known family so far is his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], who lives in [[Pallet Town]] with her Pokémon, [[Mr. Mime]]. She's a caring, but some overprotective mom that tries to ensure Ash did everything to make his life better, including reminding Ash to change his underwear every time they meet (Ash had actually been seen in his underwear, a pair of blue and white striped boxers, in a few episodes). Ash's father was mentioned in one of the earliest episodes, but his identity has never been revealed.

The names "Ash" and "Satoshi" (as in the creator of the Pokémon franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]) were default choices for names in ''Pokémon Red''. The surname "Ketchum" is a pun on Pokémon's famous slogan, "Gotta catch 'em all!"

Ash Ketchum   [Edit]   [Talk]

Ash Ketchum(JP) is the main character of the Pokémon anime series and the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga. He travels with his very first Pokémon, a Pikachu.

In the earliest episodes, he made his journey to become a Pokémon Master with friends Misty and Brock, each with a goal of their own. Throughout the years, everything from Ash's clothes to the people he travels with have changed. He is first dressed in a dark undershirt, blue and white short sleeve jacket, and blue jeans. He is then seen wearing a dark blue hoodie in the Hoenn episodes, and a white shirt with a dark short sleeve jacket in the Sinnoh region.

Ash's only known family so far is his mother, Delia Ketchum, who lives in Pallet Town with her Pokémon, Mr. Mime. She's a caring, but somewhat overprotective mom that tries to ensure Ash did everything to make his life better, including reminding Ash to change his underwear every time they meet (Ash had actually been seen in his underwear, a pair of blue and white striped boxers, in a few episodes). Ash's father was mentioned in one of the earliest episodes, but his identity has never been revealed.

The names "Ash" and "Satoshi" (as in the creator of the Pokémon franchise, Satoshi Tajiri) were default choices for names in Pokémon Red. The surname "Ketchum" is a pun on Pokémon's famous slogan, "Gotta catch 'em all!"
