Pokemon creators, ever since the beginning of the series, had been successful at keeping the identity of Ash Ketchum's father in the dark. But now, the makers of Pokemon: Coco, the latest film that has served as a continuation to Ash's story of becoming the ultimate Pokemon Master, have given the fans of the franchise a clue into the identity of Ash's elusive father. The makers of the film managed to give a clue regarding Ash's father by revealing the advice that he once gave his son during his formative years.
The clue that points to Ash's father
As per an article on ComicBook.com, Ash Ketchum, at some point in the movie, faces a set of events that leaves him demotivated. It is at that point when he recalls a handful of wise words that his father had doled out much before the beginning of his journey that spawned a film franchise. That advice, as per the very same article on ComicBook.com, was something on the lines of the map to one's goal being inside oneself, and giving up will only assure the unrealisation of those goals and dreams. As per the very same article on ComicBook.com, the main protagonist has figured out who his father is.
