Elm and Birch

[dcruse3]

I was on buldapedia early and i notice it mentions that Professor Oak is fifty while Rowan is sixty but Elm and Birch's ages aren't listed
so i was wondering
are their ages listed
and if not
who do you think is older

 

[coolcatkim22]

I think Birch is older because Elm's son is younger then Birch's kid.
Elm is probably in his twenties while Birch is probably in his thirties.

I'm going to side with this. It doesn't mean much really, since my parents are pushing 50 but I'm 17, as apposed to those pushing 40 with kids my age. But Elm visually look younger, enough so to be late twenties. Birch I can see being mid thirties.

I think Elm would be in his late 20s/early 30s, with Birch in his mid-30s.

Well.. With me its even worse :') I'm 15 and my mom is 51, while my dad is 66, or something like that.. So it really doesn't mean much.

But I don't know, Birch could be end thirties.. 38 or something.. And Elm could be.. like 26/27 or something?

my thoughts are that Elm is like the fresh out school type of professor (because in the game you see that he gets alot of help from Oak and Mr Pokémon) while birch seems to be more on his feet

I'm going to put Elm no younger than 28 and no older than 31.

Birch, I see between the ages of 38 and 40.

Regardless, Birch is the older one

Does Elm have a son? O_O With who? D:

With Elm's wife, of course. In HGSS, she lives with their son above the lab.

I'm not sure on Elm looking so young as to be 20-something. I agree he's likely younger than Birch, but Birch also seems to be mid-thirties, could be pushing forty. Elm's definitely got more of an early-thirties appeal to him (what now with his chin-prickles).

 

[Mr. PBJ]

Elm's a straight out of training professor, if you ask me. Maybe 26-32. Birch looks 41-45.

Ehh.. Oh! Of course, I forgot! Probably because I almost never come there..

birch looks to be in his early 40s and elm hi late 20s early 30s if you ask me

 

[RizardonAlmighty]

Elm...I'd say around 20-28. I think he studies under Oak, doesn't he?
Birch, for me looks like he's lingering in the late-thirties, early-to-mid-forties.
