>>18954218There's a LOT of artwork with Red just brooding, like he's the goddamn Batman or something.
People chose to ignore that he's just a 10-13 year kid on an adventure with his PokéFriends.
>>18954194Not a bad idea. I do think that Pokemon families born and raised away from civilization will grow differently. The anime even alludes to this. The Mewtwo Returns special has Ash find a place protected from humans for hundreds of years, and in there, there were baby Nidoqueen. Like, they were born fully evolved, yet really small and baby like. It was weird.
