Why?
I think the DP Dub made a joke about the sliding timeline with Team Rocket saying they've been chasing Pikachu since before Dawn was born.The people who like to theorize him being older are equally valid in their reasoning, though 15-16 is pushing it far. A 13-year old can have the same mindset and appeal as a 10-year old.
Besides, most of this 10 year old nonsense started thanks to BW's single line in a single episode which gets contradicted by facts later on in the same series. I can't believe people use a single line that's pretty much contradicted, from the worst series of the anime, as canon when there's a lot of evidence to the contrary.
Before BW, his age was very ambiguous though he showed signs of ageing from both his physical stature growth as well as his mental maturity.
I'm pretty sure there is no sane in-universe explanations for Ash's age.Ridiculous, bizzare and stupid. But far more believable than the arguments for him being 10 year old.
Honestly, if you ignore the vague 10 year old references, it's easy to picture him as a 13 year old.
Still, several episodes happening in the same day easily surpass them.especially when some episodes have more than a single day pass

Hmmm, magnet train, hmmm. Hmmm, Dawn stating it's been a year since the Wallace cup, hmmm.
I'm fairly certain that I remember hearing the dub say Ash is ten years old around the start of BW.I wonder if any of the lines saying he's still ten were in the English version?
Because if not we might be looking at a weird situation where Ash is older than Satoshi, so to speak.

If we're going to be serious, I think even three years is really pushing it at over 1,000 episodes, especially when some episodes have more than a single day pass (didn't he spend a month or more between Viridian Gym and the Indigo League?). The AG/DP era theory of each series being roughly a year seemed to fit alright up until BW.
It's a shame Mimikyu and Pikachu rivalry went nowhere, it had potential
