Sounds like the typical art style evolution that happens with just about every TV show out there. May I have an example?

Try to compare Ash from the very beginning from the Ash today. It signifies change which could also be an evidence to aging. However, the aging process is so slow; regular viewers cannot determine it. This is in accordance to the Slowed Time Theory wherein the time flux in the series has been slowed down so the characters won't age as fast as normal aging.

Sorry but I'll have to disagree. We may not notice it but all Pokemon characters are aging; only slowly. Unless a TV series is of a sci-fi genre, all characters are subject to aging no matter what. It's the natural law. Wow...You could not have said a dumber thing that this. You're trying to apply this theory to a CARTOON? What a joke. Otherwise, people will start criticizing the series about immortality of the characters which is a violation of some doctrines in some religions. ...I stand corrected. Even if it were based on 'religious' reasons, Japan is a largely agnostic country. Disproving such a theory. As for Pikachu, of course you need a Thunder Stone for it to evolve. So it is proven here that aging is different from evolution. Well, I never really equated evolution to aging. However it is not necessarily different either. Evolved forms are considered more physically mature than their pre-evolved forms, so they can be considered a form of physical maturity. This in mind however, I figure if Ash were to age, it is possible that Pikachu may evolve into a more physically mature form (which is essentially what Raichu could be considered). Being a Raichu also is a strong image of change in there series. Though I doubt it will ever happen. But if you'll look closely, there are some changes in the animation that could also signify signs of aging. Change in animation ≠ Aging |

If this was a cartoon, then I could've said no more. In a cartoon, you can practically do anything; even defy the laws of physics.
Okay, let's say I said a dumb thing. Of course I would so don't get all testy.

I wouldn't call pointing out a shallow argument being testy. But at least we agree on one thing, it was a little dumb.

I don't think Pikachu will ever evolve. He's a mascot.
Plus, Pokemon characters age just as much as the Simpsons do.

I see a lot of birthday dates on fan fictions everywhere. They're mainly used for distinction.
