there are a few fixed reference points and a lot of relative references which mostly link up with those fixed reference points and not much wiggle-room besides

i do not think the pokémon company has a timeline which is as good as my galaxy-brained pokémon timeline but the numbers do keep working out pretty nicely which is good

me: i wonder if the child game character which shares a name with this adult anime CotD could conceivably be the same person if you slot them into their respective locations in the timeline

me after doing some quick maths: oh my god (a) it works and (b) i am ancient

if i stretch it and say she was at the upper age limit for a Picnicker (Trainer Class) in January of 2011 then i can probably get away with having her birthday be in 1999

oh no the adult character i’m writing porn for was likely born after the turn of the millennium

“also if you stop by SOMEONE’s house it turns out they’re really nice and a huge dork and they’ll give you an Eevee”
