I really don't want people to begin believing such stuff. I guess the author was once a pokemon fan and later went on to study psychology. He must have picked up Pokemon later on and applied his true love (psychology) to what he once loved. However we all are fortunate to have loyal fans of the franchise to rebuke this stuff that might actually really kill off Pokemon. Here's is what is wrong with this theory:
1) Ash doesn’t change at all because the anime is showing the events in a timeline that is very short. It’s like one episode represents one day and the next episode the next day. At max, Ash should have been 12 years old by the time of the third movie, That was around 150 episodes, after that the next 350 episodes were 350 days. So Ash is nearly 13 years old.
2) You just have to accept the fact that all the nurses and officers are alike. You never know, they might be all clones!
3) The Orange Islands are a little backwater league that hardly make contact with the mainland. The Battle Frontier in Kanto is a brand new tournament in which trainers have to be called to. Unlike the League tournaments which all trainers aspire to and are televised world wide, the Battle Frontier is a closed club. (Hardly any spectators). Paul probably didn’t hear the Orange and Battle frontier conquests and he would probably be looking at the Top Four position holders (the semi-finalists and the finalists) to be bothered about Ash’s lowly 8th and 16th positions in the Leagues.
4) If Ash was dreaming it all up, shouldn’t he have won the Indigo League for the first time? What is the psychological reasons to lose when you really want to win? “I want to be Pokemon Master!” proves this theory completely false.
5) Ash knew very little about Pokemon when he became a trainer (seeing how dumb he was in the beginning). He hardly knew any proper Pokemon species. So how could he have actually created all 493 pokemon without ever seeing any of them?
6) Get it through your head! Giovanni is not Ash’s Dad! He is at least another roaming Pokemon trainer. Giovanni would not be so careless with his own offspring heck Ash’s name ends in Ketchum! Imagine the name "Giovanni Ketchum"!!! (shudder) Besides Ash’s mom is fond of her husband to mention him to Ash as a role model for him to follow in episode 2!
7) If you have been a fan as long as I have, you can see some truth in the theory that Pokemon might only exist in Japan and the surrounding islands while the rest of the planet has to import them from Japan like in Orre. So if Japan imports some animals from the rest of the world and they are seen in the episodes, what’s so wrong with that?
Anyway, this stuff is creepy. When I saw Ash getting blasted to stone in Movie 1 I went "OH YEAH!!!" But after reading this and the rest of it on this now locked thread

I really felt my innards being ripped out! Ash about to die...sad stuff. At least he would have a happy end- no... a beginning. Imagine if the restart series would become the greatest anime series of all time
