So, Caitlin was 17 during Platinum. How old was she during B/W? how much time passed between both games then?
>>
>>56719204
If I recall correctly, 14 years.
20 from RGB/RSE to S&M.
2 from RGB/RSE to GSC/DPPM
2 years from BW to BW2/XY, and a further 2 years to S&M.
This leaves 14 years once we take off the time at the ends.
>>
>>56719235
It’s only been 10 years from RGB to SM. Red and Blue are both 21.
>>
>>56719261

>>56719507
Are you SURE about that?

that said, if their Master's dialogue is anything to go by, I think it's mostly on Caitlin's side, and Cynthia has classic Shonen protag blinders.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSiUF6lJlpk

Most of their ship-leaning official art kind of supports that actually. I guess there's not actually much evidence that Cynthia returns any of her feelings now that I'm stopping to think about it.

If this were a hetro couple, you wouldn't even be fighting me on this ship teasing. This is a classic romcom anime "girl has feelings and wants to confess but is too shy, yet gets jealous when others get attention instead, dense guy sounds like he's about to confess and gets her hopes up but actually says something positive but ill-timed and underwhelming, girl gathers her spaghetti back into her pocket, makes a snide comment about how bad the guy is at reading a room, then relents and focuses on the positive attention." moment, except that the guy is replaced with a soft-butch goth girl.

They're never going to progress the relationship any further because gay marriage isn't legal in Japan, and Pokemon is a family brand. (The 'forbidden' nature is part of what makes it so popular in teen/YA media.)

But they're still playing the eternal leadup narratively beat for beat.

It's not like they need to be the same age to be rivals or have known each other for a long time
And I think it's fair to assume Cynthia is older considering Caitlyn aged up between Plat and B/W and Cynthia looks the same
That said I don't think Cynthia is THAT old, she's probably around the age Caitlin is in B/W but in Plat and then a little older in B/W

Anon, BW is like over ten years from DPP. If Caitlyn is 14 then she's over 24 by then. The gap is very significant.

Do we know that for sure or is that speculative because I don't recall that

I like them equally as I really like Caitlin for the first time when I tried out the Battle Frontier. After that I was really excited when I saw her again in BW. That blew my mind.

Im thinking about Mandela efect because Id swear it was stated in both Bulbapedia and here she was 14 and now I cant check it
>>
>>56720678
My headcanon is that Cynthia is 21 in DPPt. If that guy is right about the time that took place between RGBY and SM was 10 years it means that 4 years has passed between DPPt and BW which would make her 25 in BW, 27 in B2W2/XY and Professor Scyamore should also be at around that age in XY, 29 in SM and 19 in RGBY/FRLG/RSE/ORAS.

Source is from the Japanese Pokémon Wiki, which sources the May 2011 issue of Nintendo Dream, which is probably where I first read it. I remember that PokéJungle used to do lots of interview translations in 2010 and 2011 back around the height of BW, but I think I'm the only person who ever remembers interviews. A lot of this information, like certain pieces of BW Gym Leader info, Reshiram being feminine and Zekrom being masculine, Caitlin's age, etc. was already public information in Japan.

To be fair, it doesn't specifically say "she was 14" just "she was designed to look somewhere around 14".

20 years from gen 1 to gen 7.
It's been two years since "we last saw Grimsley" in BW2, which takes place at the same time as XY and two after BW.
It's enough time for the Rocket Grunt to start a family back in Unova.

>>56720880
Still somewhat speculative then. If 10 years had passed it'd call into question ALL of the gym leaders ages who showed up in the PWT unless you want to say that PWT is not canon or that all of them aged extremely well. If 20 years had passed in total since gen 7, remember Cynthia also shows up in gen 7 and still looks the same as she did in Plat. She must be immortal or something.
I think we have a case here of Game Freak didn't think about it and threw out a number which worked at the time but doesn't add up in the long run.

>>56720975
I don't think basing the passage of time on how characters with an anime arts artstyle visible age is that good of an idea, even getting past stuff like just reusing assets.

>>56720401
>He's still posting the quiet girl not talking well as evidence she's somehow gay.
Where is she not talking well?
The "and uh ... MY RIVAL!" is Cynthia.

I split them up by who's talking.

Caitlin complains about Cynthia inviting her out for a friendly practice match before she faces Player but then is running late, as well as feeling bored because Cynthia's been victory-focused and singlehandedly carrying all their team matches, so she hasn't actually been having much fun, nor has she had any kind of chance to do... SOMEthing with Cynthia because she's been so focused on winning.

When Cynthia does show up, she's dressed up specially for her match against Player and bragging proudly about how her Kommo-o has been growing faster than expected, just like Player. Caitlin sort of cattily says "wow, you really like that Player huh. Whatever let's just get this practice battle over with."

Cynthia goes "Hey, I know i've already put upon you here but please I want to see you give this your all. Because i've seen you growing and I want to see how amazing you've become because you're my team mate, my friend and my uh.. uh... RIVAL!"

Caitlin goes "W-what? Rival?"
Cynthia: "Do you not feel the same way?"
Caitlin: "What an inspiring thing to say, maybe you're a telepathy too (9_9). Look, I'm glad you think i'm so great, but literally how, I've never beaten you so much as once."
Cynthia: "Nope not even once! Uh, but I mean you could right?"
Caitlin: "REAL inspiring. Fine. Here's full force, Imma beat your ass!"
Darach: "Uhhhh, m'lady, you're letting your temper out again! You know like when you used to kaboom stadiums with your psychic tantrums?!"
Caitlin: "I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT. ZERO EMOTIONAL CONTROL THIS FIGHT. SHE WANTS BATTLE STRENGTH I'M GOING TO WIPE THE FLOOR WITH HER IN THE PRETTIEST WAY IMAGINABLE."

The only missing pieces is what the SOMETHING she wanted to do with Cynthia was that she hasn't had a chance to yet because Cynthia's been to battle-minded.
>>
>>56719204
>how much time passed between both games then?
About 3~5 years if DPPt is 2006~2007 and BW is 2010~2011.
>How old was she during B/W?
If >>56720618, then 17~19
>>
>>56720997
Well yeah, but then that's characters like Tate and Liza who are only like 10 in R/S. So add the time difference between that and Plat and BW and B2W2 and they should be a LOT older. Also it looks like apparently that 20 years thing is from a Pokedex entry of all things and we all know how unreliable those are. I'd take that with a grain of salt personally.
>>
Don't care about yuribaiting in gacha lol

>>56720631

Childhood definition varies by every person. Friends of mine say it ended when they were 20 and were forced to work.
Their age difference been at least 5 years wouldnt be weird

Official Art of them as children makes them appear very close in age.

>>56721236
Exactly my point. It's incoherent and anyone with half a brain can see that. The best estimate we'll get is in game dialogue.
>>
>>56721171
The Platinum & Black/White bios are very different in how they're presented. The Platinum ones look more thought through & concrete if you ask me, even referring back to how some stuff isn't used in the games themselves, while the BW ones look like early concept drafts. I wouldn't really take the BW ones too seriously in regards to the final products, it feels more like a fun look at how the ideas for the characters started, while the Platinum ones feel mostly accurate at least.

>>
The people who actually believe those ages are the same people who actually believe the incoherent Pokémon lore lmao. Nigga they make it up on the fly and change it as they want. Hence why Red is 11 or some shit in R/B/Y, then presumably 13 in GSC yet looks identical and is also on the top of a fucking mountain in a blizzard and then appears in BW2 at the same age but then 4 years later ages to 31 in SM. Same as how Cynthia is an unknown age in DP, appears in BW then in SM and hasn't changed at all in those 10 years from DP to SM. None of it makes any sense of you pull the thread even lightly.

Red is 31 or something in SM due to the 20 years passed between RBY and SM in the real world. Cynthia presumably aged 10 years between DP's release in 2006 and SM in 2016.

>>56721933
If that's really true, then that means Arceus takes place around the exact same time as the Brass Tower fire.
>>
>>56721939
Tajiri hasn't had anything to do with it since 1999, his opinion on the timeline for games he had nothing to do with is irrelevant

I go for favorites regardless of utility, that's how I look at it, it all depends on if I get them or not. Gen 4 Caitlin would really make me break out the gem bank. I love Gen 4 so much. I'm still waiting for Cheryl to get an alt so here's to hoping we both get what we want in end.

Here are the ages of the Pokemon protagonists.

- Red is stated to be 11 in the manual for the Gen I games
- Brendan/May are stated to be 12 in ORAS, while Wally is stated to be 10
- Elio/Selene and Hau are stated to be 11, Gladion is Lillie's older brother so either he's 12 or she's 10
- Calem/Serena are said to be older than Emma whose age is 16, so they're presumably 17
- Hilbert/Hilda were envisioned to be around 16 when they were made, but it became 14 later, and Nate/Rosa are presumably similar
- Rei/Akari in PLA are said to look about 15
- Ethan/Lyra are taller and weigh more than Lucas/Dawn in Gen IV, so they are presumably around a year older

And here is the game timeline:

The plot of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Red and Green are contemporaneous. They are then followed by the equally contemporaneous plot of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal and Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, which are set three years later. Pokémon Black and White are set an unspecified amount of time after those games. Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are set two years after those games, and are contemporaneous with Pokémon X and Y. Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and at least 10 years after the events of Pokémon Emerald. Pokémon Sword and Shield are known to take place after the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon because the Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex states that research notes of Type: Null were stolen leading to creating more of these Pokémon, in contrast to the three that existed in the previous games.

Therefore, a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 20 years elapse between RGB and SMUSUM. So Red is between 21 and 31 years old in SMUSUM.

RGBY/RSE/LGPE > 3 years > GSC/DPPT > at least 3 years > BW > 2 years > B2W2/XY > 2 years > SMUSUM > ? years > SWSH > ? years > SV

Remakes should be considered separate from the originals. RSE and DPPt aren't linked to RGBY and GSC, but rather FRLG and HGSS. See >>56721712 and >>56721777.
Not only does the tech from the time of RSE/DPPt extend to FRLG/HGSS (Compare Pokédexes, Pokégears, etc.), but so does the overall art syle, character design, and aesthetic of the games. This is evident in Masters EX when Kris is placed near any character from HGSS.

Wheres everyone?

So how old did we decide she is in BW?
>>
>>56724218
Unironically yes
>>
Okay, leak notes say mid 20s when she's a member of the Unova Elite Four, guess that solves that
>>
Cynthia = 28

apparently Diantha is 20 ???? WTF!!
she looks like 30-35+, if not 40
Especially with grey hair

I guess being white & french (=slut) + acting stress = ages faster
>>
>>56723332
>>56727817

That puts Platinum and BW around 8-10 years apart
>>
>>56727817
>mid 20s when she's a member of the Unova Elite Four
Then her age range 23-27
Are those leaks from BW 1 or 2?
>>
>>56728028
or Lysandre was a huge cunnyseur to talk like that to a 20 year old kek
>>
>>56729402
Alder is the champion in those docs, so BW1

damn, timeskip of +6 years confirmed then

Sweet, so we're pretty close in age range. That just makes me love my wife even more!

Interesting to know that she was in Platinum

See >>56730790, >>56730884, >>56731127, >>56731235.
There is no evidence about Calem/Serena's ages in the jp text.

wait but....
that means DP to BW is ~8 years...
but BW to SM is 2 years....
but mina is 14 in LGP then...
then... huh?
what

>>56733372
GF already said they don't care about internal consistency.
>>
>>56733387
This.
>>
>>56733372
Do you really think that LGPE, a game that replaced the originals MCs of the region despite the story playing out almost the same, cares about that?
>>
>>56733372
BW to BW2 is two years. Then another two years for S&M.
>>
>>56733372
you can imagine that gen1 was happening at the same time as gen5
there's nothing that contradicts that
>>
>>56733459
The rocket grunt from gen 2 starts a family we later see in BW2.
Unless he somehow started a family while in the past back home at the same time he was in Kanto in the future.

>>56731927
Was Emma considered too young to work for Looker in the jp text like said here? >>56730562
if so then that's pretty good evidence.
>>
>>56719261
They're in their 30s if we go off that non-canon source book that Game Freak still references to this day and takes bits and pieces from, Porygon was made like a year before Red and Blue, and according to Sun and Moon Porygon has been around for 20 years

So Red and Blue, the characters would canonically be 31

>>56719235
FRLG & Emerald
~3 years~
HGSS & Platinum
~Unknown amount of time~
BW
~2 years~
B2W2 & XY
~2 years~
USUM

The series becomes linear after Gen 7, I recall they reference USUM in the DLC for SwSh, but its been forever, but I doubt its been that long, on top of the stolen Silvally plans

They reference Bede destroying the wall in one of the books in the school in SV, so obviously that means its set after as well

Pokemon games seem to reflect the amount of time in real life that it takes for us to get new games, so like it can be assumed 2 to 3 years gaps
