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

Snopes March 5th, 2011 10:28 PM

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 March 5th, 2011 10:32 PM

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~ March 5th, 2011 10:37 PM

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 March 6th, 2011 12:05 AM

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. >.>

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 March 6th, 2011 12:18 AM

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 March 6th, 2011 12:30 AM

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

vaporeon7 March 6th, 2011 12:38 AM

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

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.

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 March 6th, 2011 2:45 AM

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 March 6th, 2011 3:01 AM

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 March 6th, 2011 3:05 AM

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.

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 March 6th, 2011 5:27 AM

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 March 6th, 2011 5:32 AM

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 March 6th, 2011 5:46 AM

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.


Nameless. March 6th, 2011 6:10 AM

Uhhh, I'm really not sure.
Cheren looks and acts older but I'm pretty sure he's the same age as Bel and the protagonist. If I was to take an estimate.. I guess 14.
Cause I dunno about them, but I wouldn't wait until I was 14 to go on my Pokemon journey if I was able at age 10. O_o So, I definitely doubt they are much older.
Who has patience in the world of Pokemon to wait until age 15-16?! D:


KieronGames March 6th, 2011 6:14 AM

15.
15th Anniversary.
Makes sense.

travisjb90 March 6th, 2011 8:15 AM

I think that they are 16 or 17. Those ages would fit them well.

Pkmn Trainer Touko March 6th, 2011 8:33 AM

I think they are definitely 16 years old.

RYOUKI March 6th, 2011 8:38 AM

16. I remember your mom.. er, the protagonists' mom saying that she hoped that they would become 'respectable adults', so probably mid-teens like 16-17. I bet on 16 though.
