Why is it mentioned in the article that Paul got Turtwig from Rowan? If I remember correctly, Paul introduced himself to Rowan in DP003. So that means this was the first time they were meeting each other. File:Ani448MS.gifJmathFile:Ani447MS.gifTalkFile:Ani448MS.gif 18:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

You do have a point there. Either it was a mistake or Paul recieved his starter Pokémon from Nurse Joy. In an episode in the Advanced Generation, it is mentioned that starters can be given by Nurse Joy when the trainers home town isn't near the Pokémon Lab. Or he could of gotten it from his brother. I think it should be changed to "Unknown" since there are too many variables involved. --File:Ani048MS.gifケンジFile:Ani183MS.gifガールFile:Ani123MS.gif 12:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
It can also be that Paul got his pokemon from Rowan's assistants, while Rowan was on a trip somewhere, like when Dawn was going to get her pokemon, though he returned before she got it. And also, Rowan only asked who Paul was in the dub. In the original version he said "You are...", maybe because he recognized him. But that's just a theory. Madch94 18:23, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
I believe Paul did receive turtwig from sandgem town ...although since its not confirmed there should be an "unknown" section. RovingTrainer 13:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Age?

Where/when was that mentioned?--Outrage DD 02:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Implied and said directly in DP. --PsychicRider 02:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Kenny's Piplup

Is it safe to assume that Kenny got his Piplup from Professor Rowan? I mean he, like Dawn, comes from Twinleaf Town and he can't have started his journey long before her and it has been confirmed he started with Piplup. Watchermark 14:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I think so too. Also, don't forget about Tyler, the kid who started with a Piplup in that episode "The Thief That Keeps on Thieving", and Paul also started with a Turtwig. So we know that Dawn, Kenny & Tyler all started with Piplup and Paul started with Turtwig, so why does it only say that Dawn got Piplup under the "Known Trainers with his starter Pokémon"?
