I would have to agree with most of you. But not only by specific evidence can you prove their age, but also by maturity as many have also mentioned. Ash's maturity had dramatically changed sense Kanto. Hes grown some inches, his shoulder have widened a bit, and his legs have gotten longer and his facial features more defined.
But Ive kept up witht the series from the start when I was young, I grew up with pokemon (most of us probably have though, lol. Those of us who are a bit older at least)
But heres my opinion...
Ash: 13- 15 (though probably not quite tall enough for 15. Hes still not quite as tall as Nurse Joy, indicating that hes still a bit young.)
Misty: 14- 16 (remember, she was mentioned early in the episodes to be a bit older than Ash. Shes also grown quite feminine.)
Gary: 13- 17. (If I remember correctly he was said to be older than Ash a bit. Not by much though im sure, but judging by his size and apperance, he looks quite a bit more mature than Ash. Almost adult like...)
Tracey: 14- 15 (not much to say about him, lol. Im not much a fan of him
lol)
May: 11- 13 ( She still looks so young and also started at 10 as Ash did in the Hoenn series. Its been about a year or so sense then...)
Brock: 15- 18 (ahh goood ol' brock, still as hormonal as ever. A sign of being a teenager...Oh all the joys of it all...)
Max: 6-9 (no one can really be too sure on him. Hes not old enough to be a trainer and thats about all we know about him age-wise...)
Team Rocket (Jessie and James): 20- 25 (not too old yet, lol... I agree with most of you on these two wonderful clowns...)
But yep, thats about it for me. This almost shouldnt be a hard topic to ague on, but I think most of us are in the right direction. Im glad someone started this topic...
