Ash Ketchum is the main character in the Pokémon Anime series. His main goal is to become a Pokémon Master. His last name Ketchum is a pun of the Original Motto of the series "Gotta Catch 'em All!" His first name Ash may come from the series creator Satoshi. Ash's main Pokémon was the starter he obtained from Professor Oak in the first episode of the anime. The Pokémon was the yellow-mouse Pikachu who has appeared with Ash in every single episode and movie to date, excluding the special episodes in which Ash doesn't appear.
Ash has a wide selection of Pokémon available to him as he has caught a number of wild Pokémon throughout the series. Though he has experienced a few heart-breaking releases, he doesn't let this get the better of him and never stops at his aim to catch 'em all.
