The last time we got an official age was when he met May. May said Ash was 3 years older than him, and you get your first pokemon when you turn 10, so he was 13 at the beginning of Hoenn. If it takes his roughly a year per region, he must be 15/16. But PTD doesn't exactly follow the anime. For example, Ash never became a Pokemon master, Ash has his Pidgeot, so this is probably set a few years into the future. Maybe this follows a different storyline since Ash hasn't used any pokemon from other regions, like Sceptile, Infernape, etc. If that's the case he could be 50 for all we know.
