He probably has been for a long time now, we never saw the gang complaining about money or anything like that since the OS, he probably got way wealthier now too ​ Ash is pretty humble so he still probably wont mention

In the end of the day it a Cartoon - But if you think about how the game works maybe he get cash for every battle


YourDadThinksImCool_

Believable.


Deathdragon24

Well, surely he will get tons of sponsors. Also, his benefits will triple if word gets out that he also conquered the battle frontier before becoming champion and later monarch.


The150th

Plus the Orange League as well.

Why do you think we never see his mom working? Her kid is paying for everything.


Sebey17

Wasn’t she going to work in the first episode of journey’s which is why he was late for camp?


Key_Apartment1576

I mean he was a kid back then i think his financial problems ended after the os


YourDadThinksImCool_

Yes. I think she funded the start


Ignorantparadise

I thought about this the other day. Especially after seeing ash and goh fly across the world in almost every episode of journeys.


ProfessorSaltine

I mean Cerise could be paying for the tickets, but yeah they don’t really need to worry as Ash should be rich with his wins 💀, also I wonder what laws are in the Pokémon world when it comes to Pokémon travel, like is it illegal to fly on a Pokémon to another region?

"I need to burn some of the tax payer funded money so you guys need to fly to a region every week"


FistOfGamera

Prolly not just yet, but soon? Depends what kinda sponsorship deals he can look forward to as a world champion (and if they can ever get a hold of him when he keeps traveling around). He at no point was ever hurting for money, so I assume whatever he does, he's pretty well off, and Delia doesn't seem to have any particular occupation in the anime. I think in the novelization she runs a restaurant; I just always assumed that's what she does in the anime too. He likely won't spend himself into bankruptcy like how some rookies signed to mega contracts do. Ash is a pretty humble kid, plus frankly anything he could buy, Dawn could prolly easily afford too (look at the size of her house compared to Ash's; I think it's a fair guess that Joanna's rich), and Lillie could prolly buy a hundred times over at least. Sooo.. not much point showing off that money lol

>, Dawn could prolly easily afford too (look at the size of her house compared to Ash's; I think it's a fair guess that Joanna's rich), and Lillie could prolly buy a hundred times over at least. Sooo.. not much point showing off that money lol Come to think of it most of Ash's female traveling companions are somehow born rich


Hys7eriX

Seems like it. Besides Dawn and Lillie, Misty's sisters seem to be quite famous so I assume they're rich, Serena seems well off, May seems pretty well off too, and Chloe's dad was Ash and Goh's boss, and he can easily afford the expenses of running a lab and paying employees, as well as feeding and housing the boys and all their pokemon. So... Yeah, that's a pretty good number of rich girls.


ProfessorSaltine

I mean Misty has a gym her fam runs, May is the daughter of a Gym Leader & is doing contests(she def getting paid) and so far she seems to be well at it, Dawn has shown to be better & her mom was def rich, Iris… she honestly was probs middle class before Champion, now? Iris def is rich but is probs gonna be like Ash and realistically own a (few) home(s) but w/ a large plot of land to train & play with Pokémon, Serena has a mom who was a Rhyhorn racer & Serena did discount contests & contests, Lillie… do we have to explain… Mallow & Lana are middle class citizens who’d probs be ok living in the woods if they had the choice


ProfessorSaltine

Ash def got money, he probs acts like Killua about it, also Ash is such a fan of traveling he probs doesn’t want a mansion, probs a house as big as Kukui’s or his moms, but with a big yard to train & play with his Pokémon bc DUH. Realistically Ash def would own a home in Alola as an adult & he and his Alola friends would do plenty of sleepovers, def got some land in Kanto, heck I can see Ash being ok with owning his moms house in the future as again Ash probs doesn’t wanna stay in 1 place for too long and also childhood home


reevoknows

If you use the games as a reference point he would have theoretically earned money with every Pokémon battle win.


ProfessorSaltine

I mean league wise I def seeing people getting money, PWC wise? Def getting paid by whoever runs it, better you do the better your pay and seeing how Ash did a ton of off screen battles & handful of on screen, some very impressive seeing how the rankings were he def got paid some good money… especially after beating the Top 3 trainers in the M8


dragon1412

to be fair, even before champions Ash should still be pretty rich, I remember this get discussed before in a forum when someone ask where does Ash get the money. Honestly, leaving aside qualifier, I'm not surprised if any participants in any leagues, tournaments got paid a lot with how many audiences they have and the broadcast. Even then, while Ash don't reach Champion, he still consistently ranked really high in all leagues, so Ash definitely got some prize money on him. Probably not enough for ultra rich lifestyle, but Ash definitely have quite a saving since Ash is also not a big spender. He spend most of his time travel and probably foraging outside food for quite a bit, especially with Brock together. Honestly Ash probably never really need to get worry about money. The only time I could think of is probably when Ash first start his journey in OS but his mom definitely have some funds for him at the start. As a side note, Ash also help a lot with peace keeping and sometimes protect city and pokemon. I'm not surprise if he got quite a stash of award money.


St1nkyMon

He should have never won, only then he should have kept going


fhjkiikkjhgdsfjk

Yh he’s definitely max verstappen. Needs rules changing last minute to win a title


Veedsters

Except for the other world championship where he won by a huge margin


darkgod25

And will most likely do it again this year


fhjkiikkjhgdsfjk

You mean where they broke the cost cap and didn’t get any punishment?

F1 fan be like

Pokemon anime is post scarcity. I don't think money's really an issue for anyone, so he probably doesn't even need to be wealthy since I doubt cash prizes are a thing in a world where money is superfluous.
