Why does so many people fail to realize that Ash is STILL 10?

I don't get it. I mean, It's only natural for them to believe this nonsense, but shouldn't it be obvious that he hasn't even aged at all? NOT even door a day? He hasn't grown any taller. If he was 17 like other people say than why is he still like at the same height as Dawn and May? And people even think he is 24 despite his height being the same like Dawn's and May's. Shouldn't it be clear that he's pretty much the same from before? A 24 jaar ols guy couldn't be the same height as a 10 jaar old UNLESS he has some sort of growth disorder. It really makes no sense to me.

kitmolly123 People think that Ash is older than he really is because of how long Pokemon been out. Pokemon has been out for about 14 years now,so people think that Ash has been aging in these 14 years.

social-loner Yeah, plus I know a lot of people who really just don't grow. It's a hereditary thing. :P

Mrakmaldanish I know Pokemon has been out for 14 years. I've been watching Pokemon since the very original series.

LostOblivion most people watch the dub here where ash had an a birthday early on, round the time his voice actors changed the 1st time, and went back to 10 later on, its an understandable to dub-only watchers. either way people want ash to grow with them for a better connection with the series at times.

hagrf1000 its so weird

Mrakmaldanish @LostOblivion Good point, I guess
