Letters to an Absent Father

[none4you69]

I cried so hard.......... This was my childhood a sandshrew toy and a gameboy in my pocket and me looking for my dad. When i saw this i remembered crying on fathers day and how i used play pokemon and wait for him to come home............ I swear im to damn old to be crying like this

[Serena769]

Awwww...

[ninjabot16]

I just died a little inside.

[Hypnokitty01]

Pokemon just got really depressing :(

[MichishigeShigehito]

:icried:

[rikuinproductions]

Sometimes I wonder if he sends those letters, or keeps them in his backpack...

[645cfm]

Dear Dad,

Do you read my letters? How are you doing? Do you think of me anymore? Sometimes, i think about you. Sometimes i think your a jerk. But other times i want to see you again. I love science like you. I have great friends. I hope you are ok.

-Me

[tasercrow]

querido hijo:

he recibido tus cartas, debes saber que volvere pronto, y a pesar de tanto tiempo que ha pasado, me alegra saber que aun tienes 10 años, exactamente tal como te deje, en cuanto a tu madre me voy un par de semanas y ya busca pico en donde sea?? bueno lo resolveremos luego. Cuidate y recuerda si quieres tirarte a tu amiga de la que me escribiste espera a tener 11, lo cual no creo que pase nunca jajaja.

atte. Tu Padre

[TheDenssy]

ash y red son personajes diferentes ¿lo sabias? aparentemente no

[MadBunny1010]

*CRY*

[Mrthedragonkiller]

I say it cuz of the pekanch

[PandaBearInASuit]

My dad once forgot me in a parking lot.

[Zeera13]

Oh, good. I'm not the only one who kind of wanted to cry a little. 8'<

[faifaifai219]

i really want Ash's dad appear in the series before Pokemon ends, even if just once...

[TheWeatherman100]

You forgot the last comic.

The one where Ash is mentioning that when he becomes a father, he wants to be the very best.

[FrostFoxChick]

I thought this would be funny. Then it wasn't and I cried.

[AssyriaXTaylor]

Dear Ash:

You should meet Marceline. She lives in Ooo. Try visiting her sometime.

Love,

AssyriaXTaylor

[OmegaMaxter]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SONG?! Omg it sounds so familiar but i just...can't.....

[ChokolateMelk]

@OmegaMaxter if i remember correctly its the same song that played when butterfree leaves ash.

[OmegaMaxter]

@ChokolateMelk I think i've heard it in other anime before...

[InsaneMangaCat]

Dear Ash,

Your dad is never that far away, really. He'll always be close as long as you love him and keep the good memories close in your heart. :)

Love, IMC

[SlyBeGone]

@InsaneMangaCat ...Gay

[SIurm]

how the fuck did i end up in emoville.

[saturn671]

I am sad...

[TheAsianified]

i wanna cry now :(

[cdhsoccer]

This is hilarious!



[HeliosChariot]

this made me cry...

[Syko7s]

Dear Ash,

In 1998 I saw you for the first time. You were already older than me by a few years so

what you were doing went a little over my head, but I still played the games and watched the shows.And the concept of an absent father was very familiar.I know you never had much of a chance to know yours, but mine just seemed so disinterested.In 2000 my father had passed away, seeing him for last time motionless as he was, felt strange.

[Syko7s]

Like I was saying goodbye to a stranger, and to every chance in knowing him. I felt an emptiness from him never being there,still do today.Being raised by mom alone was a bit scary, she always had only just enough cash to get by, but I'm able to help now so she can relax a little. 12 years later, I can see you have done so much by now, I still like to watch the shows every now and again, and the games are still fun no matter what people say. And I hope that those letters found their way.

-Me

[allytross]

bawling. why ;-;

[Matthewroxtheparty]

Dear Ash,

Don't worry too much about your father, I'm sure he is doing fine on his quest. You still have Brock, Misty, May, Dawn and all of your other friends on You Tube to chat to. I'm sure if you log in at the nearest Pokemon Center and drop them a PM they will swiftly respond and make you feel a lot happier! Also drop me a message too so we can chat. I have a lot to tell you about shiny Pokemon!

All the best, Matthewroxtheparty.

[timeriderkid]

it really is kinda heart warming.. :3

[Jeffeezy23]

.......so sad:...

[rbendix]

OMG, I remember the background music so well!

[CloseMyDoor914]

@heihea

That is so AWESOME.

[heihea]

maybe Ash should stop being a bitch and grow the fuck up...it's taken 12years for that bastard to even hit puberty, and all this crying about his dad pisses me off.

Dear Ash,

Shut the fuck up. I hate your mom. your pikachu sucks and needs to be evolved. FUCK. BULBASAUR. Misty doesn't like you, you fucking stole her bike you beaner. your mom doesn't miss me, I'm only one city away and SHE NEVER FUCKING CALLS...PS stop being a crybaby and FUCK BITCHES...

with love,

Butterfree

[EmberToInferno18]

I'm not going to lie, this made me cry.

[nexusgiga]

you keep going Ash. till theres nothing left. then go agai

[NiimuraKyo1313]

Headcanon that Giovanni is Ash's father.....Not that any of you care. Just thought I'd state it. :33

[TheSpazzofMuffins]

@NiimuraKyo1313 headcanon that nepeta is giovanni's persian..... not that any of you care.

just thought i'd st8 it >::::)

[NiimuraKyo1313]

@TheSpazzofMuffins Oh my gosh! X33 Vriska, you just made me super happy right now!

[DrumlikeRingo18]

I also don't have a father Ash...but as long as you keep going strong it's okay. :)



[BrunoAtticusfinch]

The song is from Pokemon Season 1- "Tears, after the cloudy weather"

[ManhattanMD1]

WHY DO YOU MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY! THE INTERNET IS NOT FOR TEARS!

[potatonoid610]

i used to have a dad, then he took an arrow to the knee...

[chipsamy]

:') I'm speechless.

[maxk880]

so THATS why he's in silver cave in pokemon crystal!!!!!

[60GramsOfNothing]

I had to come here after watching this on Pokememe ♥

[Solarwolfsong]

My creys!!!

[Hinohimechan]

song name please?

[TheCr1m50nN1ght]

song name please

[Tenaomeana]

Holy jeez. This is on PokeMemes.

[gonza24680]

There something wrong... Ash never did shit in the pokemon league, its red who beats the champion,

[latvianheretic]

Who keeps making this emo bullshit?

[MossMaskface]

I almost cried when he included the newspaper clippings, just to make sure his Dad saw the story. He wants to be noticed by his Dad so much!

[kawaiiFer]

i miss my dad now :(

[BaltoFortune]

ME GUSTA!!!!!!!!! I almost cried, this is beautiful!!!

[CanadianCalabo]

goddamit, snif, making me cry );

[Marthio]

Dear Ash,

Go and sit in a cave for a few years. Someone is bound to come along and challenge you to a battle that you will inevitably lose.

Sincerely,

Next gen dad

[rottyr12375458412453]

dear ash,

please sell your pokemon and use whatever money to get into a college. I'll let you decide what to do after that

[CloseMyDoor914]

@jediman500

OAK THAT SCUMBAG.

.... That's pretty gross. D:

[SoundMercenaryProd]

Dear Ash, I apologize for the long wait with my response. The reason why I'm not around and your mother hasn't put me on child support is because I'm not your dad. Inside this letter are the results to the DNA test. Sorry kid.

Sincerely,

The Guy You Thought That Was Your Dad

[wachiinn]

Dear son,

Just give us your fucking pikachu already!

Love,

Giovanni

[KazumiOfOhu]

ok thats realy cool :)

[CloseMyDoor914]

@PKMNheatr

Wait, if Oak is his dad.... And Gary is oaks grandson.... Then that would make ash either a father or an uncle, and we know ash is an only child. At least, we're pretty sure.

So that really only leaves the possibility that Gary is Ashs son....

WOW WTF.

[jediman500]

@CloseMyDoor914 Or Ash was the result of an affair, and Oak's legitimate son/daughter got married and had Gary before leaving/dying. :|

[flipkillah]

Is it weird that this made me sad?

[jediman500]

@flipkillah Not in the slightest D:

[asianwanabe1]

@flipkillah n-nn-n-ooooo!:'(

[KarstenOkk]

@flipkillah Well, it is kinda sad. I hope. Cuz it made me sad too... :(

[michelobiu]

@flipkillah no it means you human

[allenwalker4th]

@flipkillah no it only makes you stronger for crying i sent all of these to my dad and guess what he wrote me back saying im proud

[ArnulfoSalgado]

@flipkillah you're not the only one, my friend.

[skankyjewz]

looks like Gary Oak made 11 accounts

[TheSpazzofMuffins]

oh excuse me I need to my heart blah blah

[blindreaper445]

Ash's dad died in the Kanto war like Lt. Surge said there was..

[Bripyro]

"Dear when I'm away, I miss my bed and my stuff and I miss mom and her cooking. But when I come home I remember why I left." saddest part in my opinion :(

[shinypkmnfan13]

It'd be pretty sweet if we got to see Ash's dad. :) Too bad the writers for the Pokémon anime are assholes. >____>

[Joesus5000]

That very last frame where Ash is in Mt. Silver.

That got to me.

Deep.

The pokemon story is fucking epic, I don't care what anyone says.

[jimpa103]

@Joesus5000 seconded. that's all i can say.

[AshleytheDragon]

I cried...

[meithink1991]

wtf why is this so sad. i did not expect.

[speshalx00]

love the ending explains crystal version, were you can find "red" with super strong Pokemon

[Shiizuko]

>Presses play

>Hears that music

>NOPE, NOPE, gonna have to watch this alone, not surrounded by family

[Skypiesoup]

I always thought Ash's Dad was the champion of all the pokemon leuges, and left the family when Ash was little, so this was adorable.

[kurono67]

go to another region? =w=

[Mario1vsSonic1]

I cried a bit... then I saw his pidgeot he left a few years aago and he never came bac as he promised.. that made me cry more..

[CaptianPhoenix]

@PKMNheartr if that were true then Ash would be Gary Oak's Dad!

[LinkDaGreenHero]

@CaptianPhoenix ...Or his uncle. And it is entirely possible to have an uncle who is the same age or younger than you. I know a few families that way.

[Kpatable]

Why is this video even existing? Everyone knows that Ash never had a father and was immaculately conceived.

[KristenCorpse]

Cryfest.

[TeenyDratini]

WHY AM I CRYING

[PKMNheartr]

Dear Ash,

I'm glad that your Charizard is alive, and I'm very sorry that that happened to you. But you learned from that experience and became stronger! I miss your mother all the time, but it's better this way. I do have dreams about Pokemon, all the time. One time, I had this dream that I captured Ho-oh! You make me very proud, son, and you could never disappoint me. You're a powerful and independent trainer with a vast future. Continue on and be the very best you can!

Love,

Professor Oak.

[sonic5993]

@PKMNheartr You do know what that implies right?

[CanadianCalabo]

@PKMNheartr Wait, but if his dad is professor oak, but gary is his grandson...what the fuck.

[wearetheweaponizer]

@PKMNheartr if Professor Oak is Ash's father, does that make Ash Gary's uncle?

[MyNameHidden123]

@PKMNheartr Professor Oak is Gary's gradnfather. Not Ash's father.

[MrSpongemike44]

@MyNameHidden123 thats retarded

[MyNameHidden123]

@MrSpongemike44 How is that retarted? It's the truth, you moron.

[MrSpongemike44]

@MyNameHidden123 OHHH shit i thought you said he was Ash's grandfather. My bad man for real

[MyNameHidden123]

@MrSpongemike44 Oh, haha, yeah, no... That's okay... And I apollogize for calling you a moron... But that is what the common reply is to anyone telling you off :P

[ProfessorMeggles]

My eyes watered...

:c

[linkfan570]

He stopped saying, "Love, Ash" and just put his name...

[TpendragonT]

I waited for the punchline.. it never fucking came

[takotuna]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who cried.

[TheHeavenSniper]

I'm gonna fucking cry.

[skydog905]

holy shit i cried so hard ;-;

[Alexkitty15]

1:38 ..... I started to cry. This is beautiful but sad at the same time. ;__;

[Limrasson]

Somepony tell me, what was the point of this video! I can tell there was something, but I can't identify it.

[MTayde]

D:

[crumpton4]

Oh my god...Mt. Silver....

This was a beautifully done masterpiece accentuated perfectly by your voice.

[adeel3000]

why doesn't he have a dad? :(

[Dragoneither]

1:14 "WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU LET ME EVOLVE?!"

[Awesomewithaz]

Oh and one more thing

3. Don't lose or you dad won't accept you... especially not to gold.

[filipefernandes96]

almost made me cry

[hamsterdoom360]

Red =/= Ash

Red > Ash

[boredwithvideocamera]

I love this~! <333

[AdamDuffield]

The art gives me the same feeling as the art in Adventure Time, its hard to explain

[theadventuretimefan]

Dear Dad,

I've been through like 6 regions now and as soon as I went to a new one, I lost all my Pokemon! Except for Pikachu. Did that happy to you and all your wifes?

Love, Ash

[gkingkongkev]

that was so sad =(. if i was alone, i'd cry

[07ortonja]

Dear Ash -No, I never miss your mother. -I have never, and never will have dreams like that. -I will never come home. -I don't care. - Ryhorn, Dugtrio, Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Rydon. My favourite type is Ground, and my favourite Pokemon is Persian. -You always lose battles. You are a disappointment. -No girl will ever like you. -Now you know why I left. -You should stop foiling Team Rocket's plans. -Pick a single, isolated spot, and stand there for three years -Love, Giovanni.

[NightElectric]

@07ortonja I love you.

[gkingkongkev]

@07ortonja would be nice, be he isn't his dad. to bad

[07ortonja]

@gkingkongkev Just my head canon, but it does make a lot of sense...

[rockdrigoXXIII]

@07ortonja giovanni is silver's dad

[TheManOfRock585]

THUMBS UP IS YOU THINK THEY SHOULD MAKE AN EPISODE OF ASH'S DAD COMING BACK!  (._.)

[SteelSnarf]

Dear Dad,

Y U NO COME HOME?

-Love Ash

[Wick3DSteely]

GOD THAT WAS SAD :(

[multimang0steen]

ash and red mashup.. oh well

[094176]

All the feels. All of them.

[Scalene87]

Aww man, this is the most depressing thing I've ever read...

Kinda reminds me of Dark Cloud 2, how the kid always writes to his missing mother. Also depressing.

[trumpeterjen]

Why am I crying so hard?

[omarmusictube]

I hate it when I can relate

[beatrockas]

fail ash doesn't have a dad

[trumpeterjen]

@beatrockas Ash's mom mentions in the second episode that Ash's father took much longer to get to Viridian City than Ash did.

Even if you're talking about Red, Ash's game counterpart, he mentions his father if you inspect a computer in the Celadon City Dept. Store in Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen.

There's no proof of Ash not having a father. Fail on your part.

[beatrockas]

@trumpeterjen no no ash and red are totally different, and i don't really care whatever blah blah i didn't even finish watching the video. hah

[trumpeterjen]

@beatrockas I never said they were the same person; that's why I included concrete evidence for both individuals.

Have fun being illogical, troll.

[beatrockas]

@trumpeterjen cool story bro. i guess that makes you somewhat butt hurt in a concrete way. by having to deal with this. i'll be the bigger person a not reply back after this comment. p.s neeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!

[crumpton4]

@beatrockas Wow....that logic was pretty flawed.

He gives two logical explanations for why your comment fails, and instead you opt to troll him?

I know I'm probably feeling you with this, but the fact that you came on this video for that?

Ten bucks says you scrolled PokeMemes just to troll, found this, thought it was easy bait, and opted to begin your trolling.

It's people like you that make the internet a bad place to be on.

[beatrockas]

@crumpton4 nah it ain't like that he/she started it, if he/she had not reply there would of been nothing. get it got it good. ten bucks says the same for you.

[trumpeterjen]

@beatrockas You called the video a fail, so I calmly provided evidence to the contrary. Troll behavior on your part ensued because you can't communicate like an intelligent human being.

[beatrockas]

@trumpeterjen dude who cares it's the internet. if you want to have a pretentious conversation go to a gay bar.

[trumpeterjen]

@beatrockas Seeing as you're still bothering to reply, you probably care about as much as I do.

Seeing as I'm bi, I don't think I'd do too badly at a gay bar, though I seriously doubt it'd be all that pretentious...I don't think you know the meaning of the word.

[AndySan]

Dear Adoxographist,

I can't love this video any more if I tried! Please make more!

- AndySan.

[NinjaCodeman]

This is sad... But awesome!

[m1l3spr0w3r77]

There was so much mystery and depth to pokemon that was overlooked back in those days.....Now it's all about "There's a hero in everyone!" and "Friendship can solve everything!!!" Bah, there's more intellectual stuff on brony sites.

Nintendo, Y U NO appeal to older audience?!?!

[m1l3spr0w3r77]

Dear Dad,

Is it normal not to hit puberty when I'm 15?

Love, Ash

[theguyfromacrosstheb]

FUCK. i just came back from a wrestling match where i made my bitch bleed. I started crying after seeing this.

[Rockhard1492]

This is the best video ever. Sewiously.

[V00tCruiser]

dad more like toilet seat shopping

[theadventuretimefan]

So sad. D':

[wtfmandudeguy1]

I ALMOST CRIED

[qwestman222]

Why must this make me sad...

[twilightgirl4343]

oh god this voice... like a smoker...

[Awesomewithaz]

Two things

1. I cried a little bit.

2. Ash, you should go sit on top of a mountain for a couple years. That will probably bring your dad back.... maybe.

[GiazoX3997]

Must...Not...Cry...

[ThePunkPhantom]

fuuuuuu D,:

[KINGTROLL211]

Ash...the real TRUE man that can do anything

[fibreoptix]

Well that was depressing.

[hugo9944]

did i got the entei reference?

[gmanx95]

I cried.

[TheShatteringBlue]

Dear Ash,

I used to be a pokemon master like you... until I took an arrow to the knee.

-Dad
