So this is something that I thought could maybe be an interesting discussion at how other people look at this after it was discussed shortly in the speculation thread.
As we know, in anime and game-related works, it's pretty hard to pinpoint someone's age. For PCs, it tends to be left ambiguous for you to fill in yourself, but we also have NPCs who's ages don't always get specified, unless stated in say interviews. Besides all of that, looking at artwork for example and the facial expressions it's also hard to say, since a lot of the times, it all looks the same, depending on the artstyle.
Which leaves in-game dialogue, events and achievements or word of god to decide, but ages of the characters, protagonists in particular, has always been something I've seen many discussion about on the internet, so I thought it would be fun what other people think of the ages and how they think or what clues they use to get to that age.
Starting off with the protagonists, I kind of think this:
Red: 11
Gold/Ethan: 12
May and Brendan: 12
Dawn and Lucas: 12
Hilda and Hilbert: Late 15, early 16
Nate and Rosa: Late 14, early 15
Serena and Calem: 17
Elio and Selene: 11
But then there's also stuff like the Gym Leaders, Champions and other important characters like Zinnia and recurring characters like Looker.
So what do you guys think the ages of certain characters are? Love to see how the opinions go beyond the ages of the protagonists.
