Only if they treat the 8 year old like Max and not give them a Pokemon - which isn't a plot I'd want them to do a second time.If the narrator says he 10 again in XY then will people leave it alone? So what if there are three 10 year olds and an 8 or 7 year old in the group? I rather see a change than to see another older person who looks like they really shouldn't be there.
The whole reason Ash (and Dawn and May) was 10 in the first place was because that was the age when you get your stater Pokemon - a major part of the storyline of the characters is the finally turning 10 and getting a starter Pokemon.They could still give Bonnie one or two pokemon and Ash could still be more of a mentor type. She still is young, so she definetly can learn something from him.

Especially considering how much I wanted Max to be able to catch some of the Pokemon he befriended, it would suck if suddenly in Kalos a younger kid could have Pokemon.
Though even if they did age Ash, Bonnie still looks younger than '10' so it still would be strange if she got a Pokemon.
It makes sense that he is 11 NOW, because Nurse Joy told Ash on several occasions that "The Unova League is only Three Months Away!" At the beginning of BW Ash was 10 Years and 10 Months Old. The Unova League has already taken place, so 10Months+3Months=13 Months which(in time) means that Ash already celebrated his eleventh birthday, so in Kalos he will be 11
Just as the Indigo League was only "two months away" after Ash earned his Earth Badge, the Johto League also only "three months away" following Ash's Blackthorn City Gym battle victory, etc.. Therefore, it should make more sense for Ash to be older than eleven by now, but he's not - because he doesn't age.It makes sense that he is 11 NOW, because Nurse Joy told Ash on several occasions that "The Unova League is only Three Months Away!"

Looking through the original airdates, I can see that this is indeed the case for at least some of the leagues, but not for the Unova League - there was a five-month gap between the Virbank Gym challenge and the league (of course, the Junior Cup Tournament took up a full month...).The times until the league given actually generally correspond with the time until the first league episode airs in real life. As I doubt the series is actually supposed to progress in real time for multiple reasons, I wouldn't take "x months until the league" as in-series literal.
