Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I can somehow foresee, at the end of the next episode, Mat will get a mini mental breakdown when he finds a scene of the narrator calling Ash 10. Probably something out of Kalos and/or Alola.
Ok, but you know what the real thing we need to do?
If we accept the theory that Pikachu has the same average lifespan as a mouse(~3 years) we can coordinate which Female 'mon Ash has access to for breeding purposes, as well as the abilities displayed by Pikachu across the episodes (and the game's breeding mechanics) in order to create the Pikachu Family tree of all the electric mice Ash has gone through and replaced off-screen.
This is, of course, favoring the 3 year lifespan theory over Pikachu's Canon Age.(Ash's age +7 years)
I'm honestly not sure what the point of this episode was. Tons of fictional characters never age (and it's pretty obvious that Ash is one of them), so I don't really see why this theory was necessary.
Also, in the intro, why did you say that Ash ignores type matchups and basic strategy? I'm not sure if that was the case in the earlier seasons (I haven't seen them in years), but in the recent generations (especially Gen 4 onward), Ash is a rather competent battler who puts a lot of thought into his strategies.
But these are just minor complaints. I still liked the episode, but I just wanted to offer some constructive criticism.
