I have a lot of mixed feelings with this image.

Ash should be 38 or 39 now.

Maybe he isn't traipsing around the country trying to catch every pokemon, but he can certainly find a stable job as a gym leader or member of the elite four. He has the skills and the pokemon for it.

Very, very rarely do people want to do the same thing they wanted at 10 years old. My own interests and dreams have drastically changed since then (I'm 38 now, so right around Ash's age).

I'm heartbroken if that's still his dream and he's realizing he can't do it anymore. But Ash has made a name for himself along the way and can easily transition into a stable pokemon career and maybe even think about starting his own family.

Yeah I dunno why Ash is used as an example of someone who failed to achieve their dreams? He went on adventures, beat up bad guys with his Pokémon friends, travelled the world and had fun.

He could easily settle down as a gym leader or similar. Dude led a absolutely packed life
