Alright, Poké-fans! Let's chat about a couple of things that might be tickling your brain as you dive into Ash's adventure. Consider this your backstage pass to some of the "whys" behind the "whats" you're reading!
First up, the age situation. You might be thinking, "Hold on a minute, weren't they a bit young for all this?" Well, you eagle-eyed readers are sharp! We started our journey with Ash at the tender age of four. Why the leap? Think of it as planting a seed. We needed to give Ash a little extra time to sprout and get ready for a pretty significant event that's brewing on the horizon – one that will unfold after a two-year time skip. So, picture this: time is flowing just as it should, 365 days in a year and all that jazz. But our young heroes? They're on a bit of an accelerated growth track, not time itself speeding up. Think of it like how Anos became the Misfit of the Demon King Academy in a hot minute – just a tad slower on our end!
Now, about the lovely ladies sticking around in Pallet Town. What's the big deal, right? If two or more people are engaged, and they have the thumbs-up from their folks, who's to say they can't set up their own cozy little nest? Pallet Town's got its charm, after all! Trust me, there's a reason behind this domestic setup, and it's all part of the bigger picture. But hey, you wouldn't want me spoiling all the surprises, would you? Just keep reading, and all will be revealed! 😉
