You start having to keep track of the passage of time in the back of your head for the sake of characters that most likely won't matter for your current story just in case their time comes in a future one. And then how old do you want your previous child characters to be allowed to get? Granted Poke people are drawn so simply that you can just make them look like taller versions of themselves for quite a while.
