Question

Ash says he had been with Pikachu 1 year During the Short pikachu and pichu

Ash says its been a year since he first met misty after pikachu was injured

The Pokemon Leage Are only once a year and he participated in 6 leagues and the battle frontier
So after all that how is he 10 when he enters unovia
the only way its possible would be if he beat 2 gyms a week and do 25-50 episodes worth of stuff
Ps why does a experienced trainer and champion of the orange loose to losers like biancas father that creepy guy with a darkrai Paul Barry Trip aipom ( thats right aipom) and Gary
he even mistakes nurse jiys for the first one he met in unovia

I don't get it. Why would Ash age backwards? If you're asking, 'Why doesn't Ash age?', then see http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/22537/why-doesnt-ash-age-in-the-anime

Ah, that's better.

Tobias has legendary Pokemon (Ubers at that), so Ash of course is going to lose there.
And Gary is equal to Ash in battling. They did start at the same time.

Gary is better...

i mean ash beat the orange islands and the battle frontier to be clobbered by trip with his starter fresh from recieving

Answer 1

Cause it's the anime.
Anime FAQ
Seriously, no reason; it's how the creators wanted it. That's how they wanted it. It is to balance the anime. Otherwise some might be overpowered( apart from the obvious, Tobias, i.e. the Darkrai guy), and others might just sit doing nothing at all, just coming to lose. No fun in obviousness, is there?

Also, people like youngsters to fight, show enthusiasm, and ultimately, win( though Ash has not won much), not 20-year-old grown up men fighting with others like a maniac.

It's awesome... DT has very correctly answered some questions. One more thing: If you watch the Simpson's, then you probably know that it's been running for YEARs together, but neither Bart nor anyone else grows at all. Same with POKe'MON.
