'''Fanon''' | '''Fanon''' is an unconfirmed belief held by fans of a series. Such beliefs may be based in [[canon]] (the things that have been confirmed), or they may not be. | ||
In the Pokémon franchise, fanon is not restricted to the {{pkmn|anime}}, but most instances of fanon are related to it. For instance, it is canon that [[Delia Ketchum]] is {{Ash}}'s mother. This is said in no uncertain terms; it is an indisputable fact. However, any conjecture of Ash's father is purely fanon, as the only mention of such a man in canon is how long it took him to get to [[Viridian City]], and that he is supposedly a great Trainer. Everything else is speculation. | In the Pokémon franchise, fanon is not restricted to the {{pkmn|anime}}, but most instances of fanon are related to it.
