A 36-year-old man who has inexplicably remained biologically identical to a ten-year-old boy for a quarter of a century, Ash Ketchum is notable for embarking on a seemingly eternal quest to become a Pokemon Master alongside his on-off girlfriend (as any fan will tell you), a yellow electrically-charged (and extremely marketable) mutant and an excessively horny older teenager who never opens his eyes for fear of revealing the depths of hell lurking inside them. As even Ash has admitted that the concept of a Pokemon Master is basically vague nonsense, he's essentially doomed himself to wandering rough around the forest for the rest of his life.
"In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except for death, taxes, the continuation of the Simpsons and Ash Ketchum never becoming a Pokemon Master" - Benjamin Franklin
"What dost thou mean, thou idiot, cheating death is far more certain that Ash Ketchum achieving anything like that!" - typically-forgotten response by John Adams

Get the Ash Ketchum mug.
The "hero" of the pokemon anime series. Named after a tree, like his other little friends, Professers Oak, Elm and Birch.
His last name sounds like "Catch 'em". How original.
Exceedingly crap at catching, raising and fighting with pokemon, he obviously uses a Gameshark or something because:
a) His pikachu can affect rock and ground type pokemon and uses agility as an attack.
b) His pokemon use WAY more than four moves
c) His pokemon can evolve half-way through a battle
d) He can come back from the dead or something if pokemon cry at him.
I thought I was rid of him forever but it seems the pokemon loved him so much that they cried for him. Maybe they were crying with happiness that he was dead. Why didn't one of his other anime buddies use a MAX REVIVE on him or something?
The actual gameplay was really fun in pokemon, he ruined it by looking, sounding and fighting like a dick, sullying the good name of pokemon forever.
*ash ketchum sends out his pikachu against rhyhorn, a rock pokemon who shouldn't be affected by electricity*
"Hey, that rhyhorn's horn looks like it acts as a lightning rod! Pikachu! Zap it's horn!"
"piiiikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaCHUUUUUU!!!
"Yay we defeated it! Go Gameshark!"

the little cunt from Pokemon who never seems to age in the series, always accompanied by an annoying girl who she too, never ages, and always want to go be a coordinator and never has the same goal as ash does

ash dreams to be a Pokemon master, even though he wont be because the series of repetitive episodes most likely will lead to another series. his "adventures" are going to different towns and meeting a bunch of people, eating food, training Pokemon, a dose of kicking team rockets ass, despite how much they try and train their Pokemon, and walking into the woods that look the same in every damn episode. each ending, its always him, his Pokemon, and his friends walking off into the sunset, whether its someone waving goodbye to him or them doing it back.

despite someone else being a better trainer, or in general a more important and better person in his very boring life, every movie is about him and his friends "coincidentally" being chosen to meet a rare, legendary Pokemon and tasked to solve problems, battle strong Pokemon, and to save the world. Then, team rocket has to envy him as usual while spying on him, and in the end they say their goodbyes and leave in the sunset. Ash's last name is a reference to Catch em', which is a very cheesy joke.
Ash Ketchum and his friends have the experience of interacting with all the legendary Pokemon
