When you fight enough Pokemon for it to evolve. This is elementary.

Sounds more like a love-thing than an adult-thing. According to that many old people aren't adults...

OT: Imo you can't just say from one day to the other that you became a man. A boy needs to learn and have a lot before he actually is a man.
I think you have to be independent (earn your own money/live by yourself or your partner), intelligent, ... mmm there's quite a lot... puhhhh
if I'd keep listing though I'd just end up naming everythi....

Legally speaking, 18.
What special event happens between 17 and 364 days to 18 years old is beyond me.

It's really all about how mature you are.

People age at different paces and some mature quicker than others. There is no ''sign'' such as pubic hair, deeper voice or something as clear. As i stated it's more of a mental thing.

When they know that deodorant is for your underarms to mask the smell of them when you perspire and not a "Magical Hair Growing Stick"

Question 2 and 3:

Are you a boy or a man?
Are you a girl or woman?

A boy becomes a man when he has stood up for something in which he strongly believes in the face of adversity.
