    There are many theories, the most common may be that Ho-Oh granted him the wish of being forever young, but there are much more theories. No official statements about his aging tho.

    To me it's just the way they decided to make the anime more simplistic aim to be kid friendly without much sense but cute and with its charm.

    DB and Naruto are a more complex and violet aim for a bit older audience and have a more epic feeling, so the aging makes more sense there.

    With Ash no longer as the main protagonist in the next Pokémon Horizons: The Series, we might get an older version of Ash if he ever makes an appearance whether it is a cameo or as a main character, but only OLM knows the reason why Ash never ages.

    @The-AniX-Theory but then where is the original Ash that Ditto transformed from?

    Wouldn't someone find the original Ash and confront both of them?

    My favorite theory is that Ash has been in a Neverending dream ever since the first episode and that's why he never ages.

    But its mostly to keep his age around the same age as the shows targeted audience.

    If I was in charge of the pokemon anime, I would have Ash age by 1 year. I feel that Ash's journey with pikachu is far from over.
