What evidence do we have that all of the trial captains are 11 to 19 years old ? Diamond Lanturn CodeName: 05308 16:11, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
"11-19"
I was going though the official website, and I came across this excerpt on the Trial Captains section: "All of the captains are Trainers who undertook trials in their own island challenge a few years earlier." We know that Trainers must be at least 11 to take on the Island Challenge, and a few years cannot be one, but it can be as low as two, meaning the Trial Captains (excluding Mina for many reasons) would be 13-19, not 11-19 as we thought.

- "Few" is vague and subjective. It could be three, it could be seven. The actual games are the only sources to put out an actual number, which is more reliable than an arbirtary statement. Also, if you are going to ask something, have the patience to wait for a resonse. Don't just make the edits.--ForceFire 14:59, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- This is from the official website, and it says they've been captains for years, which shows they can't be 11. Inkster (talk) 18:56, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- A vague and arbritrary statement is still a vague and arbritrary statement. The point is, the games at least gives us a minimum number and a maximum number, whereas the official sites does not give a number.--ForceFire 06:27, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- I think we can add that sentence to Trial Captains articles, but because it's vague it won't change the "11-19" part.--Rocket Grunt 12:40, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- "vague and arbitrary statement". So is the "they are usually 10 or 11 years old" nonsense. glik explicitly stated in that case that the source used doesn't confirm anything. Seems hypocritical to me. Inkster (talk) 12:50, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- We're not supposed to confirm or deconfirm anything, we only collect what is stated or known and present it to the people.--Rocket Grunt 13:02, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'm taking glik's word with what he said about the player characters. On Discord he said it was too vague and indeterminate and unacceptable. Inkster (talk) 13:06, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
