Well, it allows for new and exciting storylines. When Ash is older, he can face different challenges. Maybe he has to deal with the next generation of villains who are more cunning and powerful. Fanfiction writers can explore his relationships in a more mature way too, like his romantic interests which were not really explored much in the original series. Also, we can see how his skills have evolved over time, like his battle strategies and his ability to understand different Pokemon types better.
One reason is the sense of nostalgia combined with novelty. We all remember Ash as the young, enthusiastic trainer. In older fanfiction, that essence is still there but with added layers of maturity. It's interesting to see how he would handle situations as an adult. For instance, he might have to make decisions not just for himself but for the greater good of the Pokemon world. His character development can be taken in so many new directions, whether it's in terms of his leadership skills, his knowledge of Pokemon lore, or his interactions with other trainers who are now in different positions in the Pokemon universe.
