This dude right here has a pretty decent chance of being Ash's father. Ash's mother broke up with Giovanni when she met Ash's father so that takes away all notion that Giovanni is his father.

Ash doesn't have a father because he's actually a pokémon

In the third movie it is revealed that Delia and the girl in the movie's father grew up together and he was one of Prof. Oak's top students, so it stands to reason taht Delia is also a researcher. Delia discovered 'Ash' and implanted him with a human cloaking device. Those lines under his eyes are actually traits from the pokémon.

This is why Oak has taken such a liking to Ash: he's a massive research project. It also explains how he can take flamethrowers and thunderbolts point blank to the face.

Professor Oak is Ash's father.

Professor Oak clearly likes Ash as much as or more than his own grandson, so there must be some other close relationship there. Many times when Ash calls Professor Oak, Delia is conveniently there already, so clearly they spend time together. Professor Oak is a respected member of the academic community, so having a child out of wedlock would reflect very poorly on him, hence why he's never explained their relationship to Ash. He keeps Delia comfortable (she's an unemployed housewife who seems to get by pretty well, so she must be getting money from somewhere) in exchange for her silence. Basically, Delia is Oak's mistress and Ash is his secret bastard son.

Delia is actually Ash's father. The real question is who his mother is.

It's pretty cut and dry in the main series games that the father is off on a journey and or doesn't take an active role in the kid's development. He sends money home to support the family, but the day to day running of things falls on the mother.
The only exceptions would be the ones who become gym leaders like Norman and Palmer. They at least have a regular area they can be found, but aren't mentioned by any NPCs (Barry's mother wonders who he takes after, even though it's definitely his father.) The mother characters(at least in the newer games) mention meeting the trainer's father while on a journey themselves. There are families where the father character decided to settle down and do normal(for the real world) work, like Cheren and Bianca's parents.

And now that I think about it. In the China/Japan/Korea area of the world, it is customary for the wife to have control over all financial matters while the husband goes out and does all the work. One of the reasons why young men in their 20s aren't rushing to get married in Japan.

I would say the reason why the protagonist usually doesn't have a father could be one of two reasons:

1. Game Freak wanted people who didn't have a father growing up to be able to connect to the protagonist. And/or one of the story writers didn't have a father growing up and wanted to implement that into the game.

2. There's no importance/open to interpretation

I'm going with two. Game Freak never cared about the story too much. Why develop a 5-star story for a video game that is aimed towards 12 year olds?
