We're following game canon, right?That's not what the anime says
Yeah, because every watches anime on a daily basics.The trainers in BW & B2W2 are implied to be older than the original trainer. Mei is also the first Pokegirl to actually have visible breasts in the official art. We could assume they are somewhere around 16, maybe a bit younger, 14 at the youngest.
Besides who cares what their ages ACTUALLY are. They're ****ing cartoons. This is anime, where Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is actually 14, yet Kotana from Lucky Star is 18 (if you don't know who these characters are, you need to stop living under a rock). The general rule of thumb with anime is, if she LOOKS mature, then that's good enough, unless you're into loli's, which some people are... Anyway, point being, the fanart usually depicts the trainers as much older and mature, since a large portion of the Pokemon fanbase is made up of college students. So when people say, "so and so, is best pokegirl," chances are they are going by the fanart depictions, which DO indeed make awesome representations of the trainers.
Oh, and "White" is an infinitely better name than ****ing "Hilda."
Or are you gonna say that, Red, Blue, Green, Gold, Silver, Crystal etc... are stupid names too?
The only trainers that got decent original names are, May, Brendan, Barry, and Dawn.
Fanart, IMO, are just exaggerations and that's all.
Now, furthering on, "Blue" and "Gold" aren't even REAL NAMES! They only got those names by defaluts. They're placeholder names. GAME FREAK didn't bother to give them real names unyi the Third Generation. Though, it does really matter since you ca neam the characters anything you want, but still...
