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.

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.
