Why do you think Ash always tries to Punch Pokemon?

[jnsharley13]

Ash always tries to punch Pokemon. Everything.

Mewtwo. Team Rocket's Cage. Other things.

He even tried to take on a whole flock of Spearow by himself in the first episode!

Why does he do this?

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

He doesn't try to punch every Pokemon and this is rare, but its honestly pretty funny when he does.

 

[Arceus the Dragon]

Because he is still a kid and doesn't think about what he is doing especially with that temper of his.

 

[CrystaI]

Because he think he is a pokemon.

He got into an outright brawl with Lucario in Movie 8, too.

The old fan theory that his absent father is Goku makes frightening amounts of sense at times.

 

[SonansuMan]

If Musashi can beat the living crap out of Habunake, I'm sure Satoshi can punch anything.

 

[Shadao]

Clearly it's foreshadowing of Ash-Greninja. After all, when Ash-Grennja performs an attack move, Ash does the same move as well. He was just getting warmed up for it.

He got into an outright brawl with Lucario in Movie 8, too.

The old fan theory that his absent father is Goku makes frightening amounts of sense at times.

Well, one thing that would debunk that theory is copyrights and the fact that Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z are owned by different companies and people.

 

[Muur]

He's been watching too much Digimon Data Squad.
