User talk:Ultra Ray: Difference between revisions

::::My bad, I misunderstood what you were saying. After mapping out all the years and ages, I think I get where the confusion is here. I've been operating under the assumption that the Salamence incident happened 9 calendar years prior to ORAS, so ORAS couldn't take place during the winter that Silver turns 17 because that would put it 10 years after the Salamence incident. But noting that the Salamence incident happens towards the end of the year (since it happens after Red has become Champion), the length of time between the incident and the winter that Silver turns 17 would be about 9 years. If it's true that Ruby and Sapphire are 15 and Emerald is 14 in ORAS, then this second interpretation would be correct.

::::However, looking at the history of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald's pages, their ages in ORAS were added by a user in June 2015, which was before we had confirmation that ORAS took place during winter. That user didn't cite a source, and they put Sapphire's age at 14, which makes me think that they just added 3 to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald's ages as of Emerald arc rather than finding some official source stating their ages. So, my new question is: is there an official source giving Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald's age in the ORAS arc? Or are those ages just ancient conjecture?
