>>49182773I think expanding character customization that way at the clear expense of overall narrative would be a travesty and an utter waste. Why do you need your character in this setting to be old? There enough games with older protagonists. Let the happy magic monster fairytale have its plucky kid heroes on a bright adventure. You want an RPG with an older hero? I can rattle off a dozen for you here and now, and probably keep going for a while just off the top of my head, but none of them will be Pokemon and that's how it should stay.
