Because the anime only exist to sell merch so it's wildly inconsistent.

because we can't prove that the anime has actually had 1 year pass since he got his pikachu.

We do know that Ash went to see Mewtwo one year after he set out from pallet town. Ash had Pidgeotto in that film, meaning Ash was 11 before he left for Johto.

I think celebrating "the day we (Ash and Pikachu) first met" is pretty obviously an indication of one year passing.

the BW anime starts off saying that ash is 10 years old
he doesn't age, even if a year passes
