>>56102744I think it's a problem with real life as well since people tend to look younger nowadays anyway(well, as long as you're not an alcoholic or substance abuser)
There's those memes of "my grandpa at 25 vs me at 25" where one looks rugged and old while the other looks like a scrawny twig. Plus you have the new reddit normiefag meme of "uooohhh mommy hag give milkies" and it's a 25 year old chick(Cynthia is a prime example of this)
I don't want to be some soap box fag but I think it's a weird perception that life is basically over after 30 and you're not allowed to have fun anymore so characters in video games can only ever be mid 20s at the oldest, and by then they're seen as basically retired. And Japan just perpetuates this stereotype with "haha unmarried woman in her 20s she's a hag" and forcing every protagonist to be a high schooler(cause I guess Japanese just hate adult life so much)
But yeah, it's weird cause Game Freak tried to do things like making the protags in BW older but it didn't really work out that well until XY where you can definitely tell Serena is older than the past protags. Rosa looks around the same age as May even though she's like 14/15 and May is 12.
But still, this is a thread about little girls from video games being drawn with huge tits, so whatever.
