Is OAK Ash's secret dad?
It would make sense to keep it a secret. Think about it. Ash wants to be a Pokemon master. Having such a famous dad would just turn him into a spoiled brat and give him a huge head start. That way he would never learn the value of hard work and never become a pokemon master. Plus OAK is far too busy to live together with ash and his mom.
Oak is the richest dude in Pallet town and Delia is the most attractive woman. It would make sense that they bred at some point.
who the living fuck cares

I do.
Better theory: Oaks son, whoever Gary's dad is, is also Ash's dad.

Can't argue with that.
>Gary is Ash's nephew

Wrong.

This has always made sense to me.
He's Oak's and Delia's secret love child. He's a famous professor, she's the single, unemployed woman next door. Their history is obvious. She doesn't seem to have any means to support herself, so she's got to be getting money from somewhere. Likely, Oak is supporting her in exchange for her keeping quiet about Ash's father. He's a respected member of the academic community, and it can't get out that he has a bastard with the floozy next door. Oak does genuinely care about his illegitimate son (more than his grandson Gary, which is why Gary dislikes Ash), but can't acknowledge his origins. Luckily for all, Ash didn't inherit his father's intellect, and will likely never figure out what's been obvious all along.

Delia canonically worked for Oak in the past, but she's clearly not a scientist these days. I reckon she was his gradstudent and they were sleeping together. When she got pregnant, she didn't want the scandal to ruin his career, so she dropped out. Oak doesn't know that he's Ash's dad. Since Ash started his journey they've started their relationship again

I'm going to bump this before it dies. It's an interesting question.
Possible "in theory" I thought Delia was married to Giovanni then they divorced (or he left) as soon as she caught wind of his team rocket stuff
Or Ash's real father told Delia he wanted his son (ash) to have a normal life I mean they have other things in the poke world to do ,farming,markets,I mean look at Jessie she took a swing at being a nurse.
maybe that's why he won't "win" all his battles.
anywho I'm going way off topic
Ash's dad is Bruno.

I think that was only in the bizarre American non-canon stage show.Incidentally, one of the actors from that has gone on to be Grammy-winning and Tony-nominated, so maybe we should give it more credit as canon?

Ho-oh is Ash's father
>>33368148
He wants to fuck his Uncle. God damn Green cant stop the savage
>>33372647
Are you implying Ho-oh had sex with Delia Ketchum?
>>33368099
that would make Gary and Ash relatives which is idiotic.
also, Ash doesn't have professor-like personality traits but is actually a total hooligan buffoon and simpleton.
either his dad is just some unknown guy and they never reveal who he is or it's most likely that Silver dude with his Chikorita.

here's the pic of Silver btw.
also, the theory of Giovanni being involved is absolutely retarded as well. it's highly unlikely that Giovanni ever met Delia. besides, Giovanni already has a canon child and that is Silver (not the old dude, the red long-haired rival in G/S/C and so forth). Anime Giovanni is literally childless.
