5th Gen Just how old are the Nuvema crew?

[ShreyasPokemon]

Belle actually seems old enough to be an adult. And Cheren looks around 16ish~

 

[Snopes]

I would say theyre about 16-ish since that's a popular age group for the pokemon game series

 

[インフェルノの津波]

15, I remember reading it somewhere.

There is no way those 4 are 10. Even though May & Dawn are questionable as well, Whitlea and Bianca are definitely 15 with those curves.

 

[Kon~]

I'd say they're on the verge of turning 16. They seem mature enough and look old enough.

On another note, I'd say N is somewhere around 16-17, but he's mentally younger.

 

[Sora's Nobody]

I remember reading either an article or a review stating that they were still 10. But i just don't believe that.

If they're 10 then the girl character's backsprite is nearly criminal. I can't find an animated version to show off but... those shorts are pretty tight. >.>

 

[Bluerang1]

Yay for 15/16 I'm turning 16 this year. I thought they were said to be/generally accepted as 14. How old is Trip? But yes, 15/16 works for the gang :D

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I remember reading N x Touko fanfics and their age were like 16. One even said that you can only be an official trainer and travel by yourself only if you are above 16.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I think Blair/Hilbert, Whitlea/Hilda, Bianca and Cheren are around 15-16 years old just by looking at them.

 

[vaporeon7]

They look to be about 15 or 16 years old. I always though the May/Dawn were very well developed for 10 years old.

 

[ShinyMeowth]

I remember reading N x Touko fanfics and their age were like 16. One even said that you can only be an official trainer and travel by yourself only if you are above 16.

According to the first episode of the anime, you have to be 10 to become a trainer. But then again, you see kindergarten students with Pokemon. I guess the world will never know what is true.

Anyway, though probably inaccurate, I am going to say 20. I am sick and tired of 10 year old players beating 60-year old experts (Gentleman trainer class?). We need more realism.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I remember reading N x Touko fanfics and their age were like 16. One even said that you can only be an official trainer and travel by yourself only if you are above 16.

The keyword here is "fanfics". So in no way is that official.

I'm going to agree with everyone else though and say 16, but as for Bianca/Cheren, I really think they look at least 21, especially Bianca. Cheren maybe 19? Idk. They just look older than the main two characters.

Just a little while ago I was thinking how Cheren is more mature that Hilda and Bianca, and also how large Bianca's hips are... maybe they are a little older than Hilda. >.>

 

[SquirtleGirl]

I'd say Cheren is about 19 and Bianca maybe a bit younger. She does live with her parents and her Dad seems awfully controlling for having a daughter who is 18+ :L

I think White and Black are definitely 16-17. White's dress sense is far too suggestive for anyone under 16 :L

 

[Palkia]

I would say;

Hilbert: 14

Hilda: 15

Bianca: 12/13

Cheren: 13

Bianca is very nervous early on, so she may have her birthday during the time of black/white.

 

[Nick]

The way Professor Juniper describes them at the beginning leads me to believe that they're at least 15 years old.

Their exact age I'm unsure of, but I have a feeling that the main protagonists would be the oldest of the trio. Or at least the middle one.

 

[JP]

I remember reading either an article or a review stating that they were still 10. But i just don't believe that.

Probably the IGN review of the games, I remember reading that there too.

I'd definitely say 15/16. It seems to be the most cliche "teenager age" to me.

 

[Rich Boy Rob]

I'd say they're all about 16, perhaps with the player being on the younger end of that spectrum. I'd say Cheren sounds and looks the most mature with Bianca being between the two.
N looks about 17 in my opinion

I don't think Bianca is over 20 like some of you though, she doesn't look or sound nearly that old.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

It's funny how only when the protagonist/rivals are around 16 years old do the parents start worrying about their children and demand they come home.

While 10 year olds have been traveling around regions before without a care in the world.

It is nice that they're recognising how young the protagonists are though, and that they might be somewhat vulnerable. I doubt there's a big age difference between your character, Bianca and Cheren. In fact I bet they're all the same age.

 

[Hachiku]

I'm pretty sure that before the games were released in Japan, it was mentioned in the May CoroCoro issue that the protagonists were going to be older.

So they would have probably made the characters 14-16.
I'd probably guess 14 though, any higher is out of Nintendo's comfort zone, seeing as they don't want to alieniate their younger players.​
