Where did you get that Rumple was already around 200 when he had Baelfire? I'm pretty sure he was a nobody...

And it's confirmed that Rumple's been to Neverland before, but again, I'm confident it was as the Dark One, and I would like it to have been. :3 Not as a Lost Boy.

Obviously Baelfire landed in our world during the Victoria Era which was during 1837-1901. The first story of Peter Pan was written in 1904. Since the Darlings lived and existed in the real world Baelfire must of landed in the later half of the Vic. era for Barrie to have found his inspiration to his story. Therefore Bae landing in our world was just over 100 years ago.

Even if it was 200 years ago that Bae arrived that still makes Rumple 100 years when Bae was only 14.

What I'm saying that there are missing years that we don't know about and Neverland is a logical reason for it.

And I'm certain that Rumple was in Neverland as the Dark One cause Felix address him as such.
