Sorry if I spelt rumour wrong... anyway, I heard a rumour that Giovani is Ash's father. I just wanted to know what you think (& know) about this rumour.
 
Acctaully, this rumor has been around for a long time. There was even pokemon live, which basicly came out and told us he was, but that can't be supported as canon because it was USA-made.

Anyway, in my opinion, this is indeed plausible. However, myself, a long supporter of the "Giovanni is Silver/Kamon/Black/the GSC rival's father" theory, can not easliy fit them both in.

Excluding Pokemon Special, where Silver was Gio's son, but wasn't raised by him, I'm inclined to belive that if Ash was Gio's son, he would have been raised to be like Silver. However, Ash wasn't raised by him, and Silver maybe was, so this is where I find fault with this theory.

It is my own theory that Ho-Oh is Ash's father. Maybe not naturaly, but perhaps Ash's father has passed away, and takes the form of Ho-Oh to guide him on his quest.
 
This rumor was made a long time ago. Thier is not realy any evidence that he is Ash's father. but, I like to believe he is for the fun of it.

He died and was reborn has a Ho-oh? O_O
What do you think this is, Mystery Dungeon?

Well, maybe Ash's father is in another country, on some kind of misson or something...
 
I heard this rumor a long time ago, but don't know what to think really. And as for Ho-Oh? Thats a bit odd, but I don't really know.
 
DAY OF THE JUDGEMENT¬!!
Ash: Father ~(HugS)
Givoanni: Son (Hugs) Oink(Steals Pikach)
Ash: criessss
Givaonni: 'Kicks'
Back to topic: I dont think anyone cares anymore,will i don't beacuse this will never be seen in Pokemon,
 
Ash's dad is Goku, look at the resemblance! :P

And just so you know, the source of the rumor came from Delia saying she used to know Giovanni in Pokemon Live.
 
The official anime book supplements that were released in Japan stated that Ash's father was a wandering Pokemon trainer much older than his mother and wasn't sucky but hadn't made a name for himself, and was irresponsible. That doesn't really sound Giovanni, now does it? The only reason this theory exists is because so many people assume a missing parent means he's very important and there's a hidden legacy and http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LukeIAmYourFather when really in this case it just means he's not important.
 
I love to write about Giovanni being Ash's father, but I admit there's not much in canon to back it up save for how the writers have gone out of their way to avoid the two even so much as seeing each other. Even when they were in the same scene in Mewtwo Returns, they were at such a distance where they couldn't clearly see each other, and neither gave their names.

And I had this love for it long before Live, and heck, Live doesn't even say that. In fact, it goes out of its way to *avoid* saying it. It links Giovanni and Delia romantically, but says that was before she met "Ash's father".

Zeta, the suppliment book you speak of also has to be taken with a grain of salt, given that the same book also mentions pokemon coming to that world nearly overnight very recently in history.

And to GSC Junkie, how does Giovanni being Rival's father interfere with him being Ash's father? It's entirely possible for him to have two (or even more) kids, although Ash and Rival would have to have different mothers (Delia's young enough as it is to have a kid Ash's age, and Rival seems a few years older). If Giovanni and Delia split up, anything's possible.
 
I'm a fan of the idea ... well, I'm more a fan of diamondshipping ... well, in my fan fics I like to keep the paternity open (To Care For Him was almost Springer-esque in how many "baby daddy's" there could be... lol).

Here's the REAL reason Ash and Gio never really meet...

Ash: I'll stop you, Team Rocket!
Gio: (pulls out gun) BLAM!!!! (looks around) Any other takers?
TR: (panicked) NONONONO, sir!

I just don't think they let Ash fight Giovanni because he's such an evil twit there's not really a way to fight him fair and square ... look what he did to Gary when he was about to lose...

Based purely on looks alone, I go for the poacher in the 4th movie. He's a nobody who looks like a grown-up Ash and you still get that "OMG Dad's a crimminul!" kinda thing going.
 
Personally, I could never see Giovanni as being Ash's father. He's just too evil, in my opinion.

Up until now, I always believed that Ash's father was a trainer on some long journey. But, it might be possible for Ash to meet his father someday. Also, maybe Ash's father was defeated by the current Pokemon Master at some point, and so he decided to keep on training until he became much stronger. Or, another theory I had was, it could be possible that Ash's father IS the current Pokemon Master.

However, on the other hand, it's possible that there hasn't been a Pokemon Master yet, and this could explain why Ash (and some other trainers) hope to become one.


But anyway, with this Aura Guardian business going around in the anime, I'm more inclined to believe that Ash's father (or just his grandfather) is currently an Aura Guardian. Or he used to be one, but gave it up for some reason.

Clearly, since the 8th movie proved that Ash has the same Aura as Sir Aaron, this means that Aaron would've been related to Ash somewhere down the line - like his grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents and so on, on his father's side (most likely).


And to be honest, I wanna know what Ash's special Aura has to do with him becoming a Pokemon Master (besides allowing him to form a stronger connection with Aura Pokemon).

Anyway, I'm curious to know how the Aura Guardian thing will be explained in next Saturday's episode, "The Keystone Kops". :-)

My personal view about this is that, I don't see Giovanni as Ash's father. If he was, they would of hinted way back in the early seasons, but the writers didn't really cover much on Ash's family history. I remember back in the early days though how everyone did at one point that Giovanni was his dad, also about Ho-oh, or even to Professor Oak.

About Ash's dad, I think that his dad could either just have at one point had a relation with Delia and left her pregrant to raise his child. As i recalled from the phone call way back in Episode 2, he doesn't really had much of a reaction when Delia mentioned his dad. So I don't know. Could be possible that his dad doesn't know maybe, well I don't know, I have a strange ways looking at things.

Actually thats the following Saturday, not this Saturday when the episode airs.
 
IF the Satoshi's father thing becomes explained, the liklihood is, that it'll be done in the last generation...when Satoshi FINALLY gets round to the Elite Four or something.
Or possibly the last gym leader or something.
