The characters were teens
Didn't make official couples until college
Didn't become couples until Alien Force (in that they are 15)
Carl got together with Noelle for a bit I think he was either Ash’s age or slightly younger.
Isabella had an obsession crush on Phineas and gave him a kiss in that TV movie.
Ben had a crush on that girl but got his heart broken do to her thinking she could train him but.
HA You didn’t mention Jimmy Neutron and All Grown up
Okay and this person is implying something sexual? Where they doing that in those shows? And I do like him and it was mostly a joke but how about we be intelligent here
Hu? You never seen any of those?
Jimmy xCindy kissed and got together in the final
Isabella kissed Phineas in the tv movie
All of the kids in Rugrats All grown up dated they we’re the same age.
All I’m saying here is USA American shows are perfectly ok with 10 year olds being an item. It wouldn’t be crazy if the same thing happened here in Pokémon.
Now I don’t know about real life though, when do kids start actual crushes in real life? I had a crush on Leonardo from the Titanic but that’s different???
