>stuck as an adulg with a girlfriend, house, job and active social life
Vs.
>stuck as a wandering tween, too young to experience romantic love, life has no stability, your friends outgrow you and abandon you

Someone put Ash out of his misery.

I don't know about you anon, but I was much happier when I was too young to care about romance, and my friends didn't outgrow me until adulthood started calling. I was waaaay happier as a kid.

but not a pokemon master :(

Ash is physically 20 but he's in a coma, remember? HIs residual self image is that of a 10 year old so of course he's going to stay 10 in his dream state. His mind makes it real.
