How Long Was Ash's Canonical Journey?
Obviously it's not 26 years, but it's also very unlikely to only be 1-2 years despite his lack of aging.

I've looked across the web for an answer and come up short. Any of you know the real answer?

1 day per episode/movie, so about 3 1/2 years, 4 years if we're being generous.

A year passed between the start of his journey and the third movie. That's all I know.

>In the short before the third movie they say it's the anniversary of when he met pikacho, so that must be his birthday as well
>And then later they say he's still 10
They did not give a fuck.

A year in the pokemon world is 26 times longer than a year on Earth.

Ash is in a coma and it's all a fever dream.

Ash doesn't age and time doesn't pass for any reason. They might make references to time passing, but Ash always remains 10 years old because that's how old the target audience for Pokemon is. Same with Misty being 10 years old.

Pocket Monsters is basically a native isekai where time is convoluted and people age different.

Years and years minimum and because the head of the anime is retarded Ash is still canonically 10 with him being on summer vacation forever. Your interpretation, ANY interpretation, is better than the official one because those idiots don't care. I say this about the game canon too, btw.

I remember Ash explicitly saying one year had passed about the time he reached Giovanni's gym.

Why do people get so autistic about how much time passes in the Pokémon anime when they accept that things like The Simpsons and Family Guy exist on a floating timeline.

As episodic as Pokemon is, shit is still happening in order and there's a clear overarching goal at all times. Simpsons and Family Guy are a completely different genre with a completely different story structure.

It's the same shit as Detective Conan.
Time doesn't "pass". Holidays occur several times across the show, major events happen multiple times despite theoretically only being annual or bi-annual, characters will have absurd developments, and you will soon realize that even if you disregard all "lost time" and only count the cycles of the day into night as a 'day passing', the reality is an absurdity that cannot possibly be constrained to anything less than several years.

And then a character drops a random nuke 700 episodes in for the timeline leaving you wondering what the fuck is happening in the writer's room.
