These are direct quotes from the BW mother. Consider the following:
>You can be alone at age 10>BW/B2W2 have the canonically oldest protags in the series (around 16)>Mom is constantly telling you to leave in the prologue>Says she knew they were leaving and bought maps>Won't even let Cheren and Bianca say goodbye to their parents. Says she'll do it and to just go>Calls you a grand total of twice >Tells player they're practically grown up when they come back home post-game>Unrelated, but B2W2 even has a dating side-questMy schizo theory is that your mother is in her goddamn mid 20's, and she did indeed dress her daughter like a whore in hopes of getting her out of the house.
If 10 is the pokemon world equivalent of 18, then the Gen 5 protags would be the equivalent of 24 year olds still living at home. In B2W2 you can find her with no clue as to where her kid is, working under the philosophy: "No news is good news they say." (Another direct quote)
And for christ's sake. Does she look THAT much older than her daughter?
