Friends, as fans of Pokemon know, the journeys of Ash and Pikachu will shortly be coming to an end. After about 25 years of following them, the torch is being passed on to Riko and Roy, our new protagonists for the Pokemon Anime. HOWEVER… we all know with new protagonists comes the speculation as to how they’re related to the OLD protagonists, and loyal theorists, I think we’ve got this one figured out. MatPat uses “Settle in and Theorize with me!” and it is HIGHLY EFFECTIVE!

@oshawottmain7608 Год назад

That's what I keep saying. As cool as it would be for Riko to be Ash's daughter and as much as my shipping heart would love it - let's be honest - she's likely just a girl who saw Ash's final match against Leon and wanted to become an awesome trainer just like him. She became a fan of his, wearing that hairclip as an homage to his beginnings as a trainer.

@MrJohn0fficial Год назад

My name 🔥

@Kahadi Год назад

Exactly, she is an homage to Ash, not his daughter. Named as a reference to Ash's VA, hair clip referencing the original hat (that symbol, btw, is stated to be the Pokemon League's official symbol, so it's not even specific to Ash). That's all. Saying she's his daughter also assumes the series will jump decades into the future, given Ash is still only 10 (maybe 11 by the very end) and she has to be at least the same age, so unless Ash becomes a teenage father, she'd be a newborn at the oldest in a decade and thus adventuring in two decades, at the earliest. They would also need to explain why she is in Paldea (Ash has never been there and has no reason to move there). An homage is not a biological connection.

@BillyBob-kw5oq Год назад

I think Matt was looking at the wrong father it’s clearly James who she gets her blue hair from

@mexicandruglord Год назад

@@Kahadi To be fair, that is 2 decades. Ash could've traveled to every region off screen. Apparently he traveled to 8 regions in under a year, so it is possible that he traveled to Paldea in between him becoming World Champion and having a daughter.

Not to mention, the pendant has something to do with terapagos or is terapagos, so it ain’t a thunderstone

@the_vine_queen 9 месяцев назад

Riko being Ash's daughter could actually work in terms of message, especially since we have Roy. Riko is expected to be a Pokemon master like her father, and struggles with imposter syndrome and feeling like she's stuck on a predetermined path, while Roy has some conflicts with feeling like an underdog compared to Riko's lineage and expectations. Maybe in a twist of events, Riko decides not to attempt to rise to Champion status, and instead supports Roy in his journey. It could be a nice message of "you don't have to be what others want you to be" which feels like a very Pokemon-y moral.

Being a fan of Ash would be fine as well. Having even an inkling of a connection to Ash would have been cool and what alot of the fans would want. Actually the idea of Riko having a rival that is Ash’s actual child would be a pretty cool idea too. The child hated being the “champion’s kid” and feels annoyed by his dumb antics but Riko still idolise Ash as a pokemon trainer, trying to convince him/her to maybe giving him a break.

The theory I'm running with is that Riko is a fan of Ash who received her hairclip from him at some sort of fan event or whatever (and maybe the thunderstone) and thus, was inspired to catch up to him.

Honestly, you truly never know with anime. One of the Digimon protagonists (Tagiru if anyone's curious) has brown hair with a big patch of red in the middle that you would normally think was dyed, but they showed his mom in one episode and she had the same thing. I'm always surprised when they actually reveal that a character in an anime was dying their hair because I always just assume those whacky colors are natural.

@Sir_Slimbread Год назад

I could see Riko's blue highlights being dyed, but vibrant colored hair in anime is just way too common for it to be chalked up to being dyed(especially considering the fact that the main cast in Pokémon are all like 10).

@jakeetter2822 8 месяцев назад

I also have a theroy on Ash's relationship with these girls. First in the Pokemon world you are allowed to get married at age 10 (the original draft that is). Most likely before one of them gets taken by the driffloon. Second having more than one wife may not be as far fetched as you think. There has been other anime stories where a character has multiple wives (mostly the hesiki thing). And third is he going to marry them...in some ways...he already has. I believe that if a boy accidentally destroyed your bike or hit your head with a pikeball, you are destined to be his wife. Then you must accompany him on one Pokemon journey to complete the marriage. Then you must briefly depart so that you can... build nest. Serena was invited but that still counts.

@jakeetter2822 8 месяцев назад

The other elements about this theroy is... The male companions are there to be the whiteness of the courtship. Why Ash leaves a bunch of pokemon back at home base, in case one of his... girls need to borrow a pokemon for a specific task. And that Misty gave him the handkerchief that signified that the courtship is fulfilled and she will return once she... builds nest (why the others didn't do it is mostly because they did it off camera, or used some other thing).

would be interesting thematically to have riko as ash’s daughter. imagine being the daughter of the world champion. the shadow you’d live in. trying to live up to your father’s name. making a name for yourself. it would be a cool thematic tie in since she is, in a meta sense, his successor.

@flameblitz17 Год назад

Ash being the father of Riko have a lot of great story opportunity. For example; since Ash is now considered to be one of the greatest Pokemon trainer ever/Pokemon Master, Riko could be pressured to be as great as her father but struggles coz she doesn't have the same talent as her father does. Then later on, she'll discover that Ash once was an ordinary trainer and not even special but worked hard to be as great as he is now. That could be great lesson to her that hard work can beat natural talent. But I'm fine even if she's just a nobody and doesn't have any relationships with Ash.

I could still see Ash giving Riko a thunderstone as a symbol of hardwork, might not be the same one but he'd have a positive association with a thunderstone and he gives it to her as such. If Ash is in fact Riko's dad I think it could still work out as Riko wouldn't have inherited talent from him and Ash would encourage her to do whatever she puts her mind to. Would be interesting to see her decide to follow in her dad's footsteps and realize she lacks any talent for it like she would expect so she has to learn the hard way. Then later on Ash challenges her to a duel to test her, and reveals he was talentless and had to work for his skills.
