If he is a Pokemon trainer, it's hard to believe Ash has never ran into him on any of his adventures around the world. There’s also an interview with a storyboard artist from the anime who believes that Ash’s dad is a Pokemon trainer off on his own journey.ĭespite the fact that Ash never speaks to his father, this scene in Secrets of the Jungle indicates that, at the very least, he has fond memories of the man. In the commentary for Pokemon 3: The Spell of the Unknown, the producers explained that we’d learn more about Ash’s dad in season five, but that never happened. There’s also a flashback scene from the episode ‘Strategy Begins at Home’ from Diamond & Pearl Galactic Battles where you can see Ash’s dad grooming a Rapidash.īeyond that, all we have is a few quotes from the creators themselves. In Volume 1: The Departure, Delia says “Ash’s father and grandfather are still on a journey somewhere with the aim of becoming Pokémon Masters… What an envy!” The novels were written by Takeshi Shudo, head writer of the original Pokemon series.

If you give up, your dream is never going to come true. “But my dad told me something I never forgot. “When I was little, I told some other kids about my goals, and they laughed at me,” Ash says. To help Koko feel understood, Ash tells him a story about his dad. He didn’t even know humans existed before he met Ash, and the revelation is causing him to experience a real identity crisis. Not only did he learn that he was adopted, but he’s also coming to terms with the fact that he isn’t even a Pokemon. Koko is, understandably, struggling with all of this new information.

Secrets of the Jungle is about a boy named Koko who was abandoned in the jungle and raised by a Zarude named Dada. Pokemon: Secrets of the Jungle premiered on Netflix last week and finally gave us another hint about who Ash’s dad is. We know he exists because he’s been mentioned before in the Pokemon novels, and we’ve even seen him once before in a flashback, but Ash has never talked about him… until now.
