Sorry, your parents loved you and didn’t want you to wander aimlessly for a year so they could bang the local professor.
Wow, just gonna ignore Mr. Mime like that? He was way better for Ash’s mom than Professor Oak!
He only mimed having a lot of PP.
I don’t. Forcing a 10 year old to live in the wilds.
I mean, I don’t think anyone made him become a pokemon trainer
For real, don’t think Ash even knew how to cook
Where’d they get these delicious jelly donuts then?

IIRC, the very first episode shows him cooking on a camp stove. There are several others that show he is aftually a good cook… As long as his Pokemon help him (where as Brock is a good chef on his own).
You wanted to capture animals from the wild and make them fight? Like a cute bumfights?
I wanted to be their friend and have them hang out with me outside the pokeballs like Ash’s Pikachu. And as I got older, I wanted a Vaporeon more and more for… Reasons.
90s did have the best pressed pills
Somehow I feel giving children a swallowable ball that expands to the size of a softball would work out really poorly in real life.
At 10? Only the ones who would take the tide pod challenge really. Everyone else that age and up knows better.
For a parallel to what actually happened with the tide pods, it would be like kids putting it in their mouth to pretend they are dumb enough to eat it and not realize that even just putting it in their mouths is enough to make it expand and now their jaw is dislocated with a pokeball stuck in their mouth.
(Some kids were hospitalized/died because, though knowing tide pods were dangerous to eat (swallow), they thought they could chew one to pretend to eat it, intending to make fake dying videos, not realizing that it was dangerous to even have the detergent in your mouth while you pretended you were going to swallow. So it was kids being dumb but in a “I can play with fire and be OK” way, not a “people on the internet say soap is candy, so I’m going to eat it”).
