  This is why I specified that he is not 8 years old in any meaningful sense. If Sega says that he is 8, but this does not allow us to make any sort of inferences about his behavior, how others treat him, or how long he has been alive and doing things, then what meaning can we derive from it?

  I mean, Ash Ketchum has bed the same age over a huge period of time. Same with the Simpsons characters. Characters in media don’t always age, even if they have a canonical timeline of events. It’s not realistic, but neither is a talking flying fox.
  Tails is whatever arbitrary age Sega says he is. If they say he’s 8 tomorrow he’s 8.
