POKEMON 10 YEAR OLDS ARE LEGALLY ADULTS
>As you can read here, the book says Pokemon's world resembles that of 20th-century Japan, but it has some major differences. One of these is that kids are considered legal adults once they turn 10 years old. The law that makes this so is the 'Primary School Graduates Adulthood Law" which goes by PGAL for short. And yes, it is a real thing for Ash.
>"As for the April after your tenth birthday, you are able to gain a Pokemon license and carry Poke Balls to capture Pokemon," the book reads. "All adult rights are granted... If you were to steal something from a store, the consequences would be more than just the shopkeeper getting mad at you, the police would arrest you."
>Continuing, the novel reveals 10-year-olds are able to travel freely and do anything an adult in our world can thanks to this law. "You can strive for higher education or take over the family business. You're free to search for a job you like as well. If they were so inclined, a boy and girl are even free to marry without parental consent. You are considered an adult down to details like traffic violations, and you pay taxes like an adult too."
