Ash ketchum biography and pokemons in english.

Ash Ketchum is the main character of the  anime series Pokémon.

Where does Ash Ketchum come from?

Pokémon is an anime series, based on a video game, which follows the journey of a young boy 

As he hunts down monsters and tames them in his quest to become the greatest monster trainer in the world.

                                  

 The young boy’s name is Ash Ketchum.

At least, it is in English-language versions. In the original Japanese, his name was Satoshi, after the creator of Pokémon, Satoshi Tajiri. He based Ash/Satoshi on his childhood self; his early fascination with catching bugs inspired the premise of Pokémon.

Pokemon is one of the biggest franchises in the world, and its reach spans over most nations. From Japan to Spain to Canada and Argentina, Pokemon is a household name in most places.  Ash is known as the most famous Pokemon Trainer. 

Despite his young age, Ash has amassed a large collection of Pokemon with whom he competes,” the entry reads.

“Ash wants to be the first among Trainers. His Pokemon must win. But he doesn’t just battle others. 

Ash often helps builders, oilmen, and fishermen. There is a known case when Ash’s Pokemon rescued a fishing trawler in the Sea of Japan which was on the brink of an accident. Ash’s winged Pokemon brought the entire team ashore, and Ash was rewarded with a chocolate cake from the Prime Minister.”

As you can see, this Russian Pokedex bio takes some liberties with Ash. We have no record of this happening to the trainer in the canon, but hey. 

We are more than happy to add it to the timeline; It is just a shame the rescue wasn’t captured in any Pokemon episode.

This even includes Russia even though Pokemon did take some time to get there, and now, the franchise is going viral after an infamous Russian Pokedex was translated for the first time.He may not be the most successful main character in Pokémon, but he has undeniable charisma that has made him a fan-favorite for over two decades. Together with his partner Pikachu, the two have made their mark as icons in anime history.
