>Design protagonists to be the youngest looking protags in the series
>Design all of the main characters to look older than the Protag
>No way to customize this or even choose an NPC trainer as an avatar

Game Freak, and TPCi at large, wants to shed the adult and older teenage fans, it’s why they made the protagonists even younger and crafted a school theme this time around.

Then why do their modern ads have adults playing the games? Huh? Just talking out of your ass?

The game is about catching and battling pokemon, not dressing up your tranny

Considering we don't even have normal outfits I assume trainer costumization got extremely rushed. They probably didn't feel like letting your choose different body types but with very few or even a single hairstyle.

Playing devil's advocate a bit but Nintendo of America's advertising has little, if any, input from Gamefreak. There are millions of kids who would definitely move on from this franchise if not for an older sibling or parent keeping them in.

One third of the plot is getting groomed by Nemona, the reward for completing the story is getting inside her room and the discord kid's cave. What could possibly go wrong PR wise if you had an adult protag?

Pokemon games are coming of age stories. A coming of age story doesn't work if the character is already an adult.

You can be coming of age when you're 15 or 16. SV's protags look 10. And all our allies are older and still have a coming of age story. Arven is like 17 and it still works.

the older audience is irrelevant to pokémon. they've been accelerating this message more and more these past few years to get you old farts to understand that

Honestly I don't know why you are so young. Arven and Nemona look older than any Pokemon protag and treat you as their equal. And while Penny is tiny her clothing and dorm room give the vibe of a shut-in college student. Even "Clive" is clearly supposed to resemble a young adult with that greaser pompadour, not a child.
So it seems weird the protagonist looks YOUNGER than say the Sun and Moon protagonist, who at least hung out with characters their age (Lillie, Hop, Gladion).

Then why does the supporting cast seem older than usual?
Most games give you peers around your age in this series.

I didn't even consider how weird Arven's approach would seem if you were playing as what looks like an eight to nine year old girl.

My only complain is how bad the hat looks and how bad any hat you get looks. He/She always wear them it in a retarded way.

If wasnt for that I would be fine with these designs

Arven touches the MC way more than Nemona ever does. And don't even get me started on this scene where he grabs the MCs hips and then holds onto them.

He's a popular husbando anywhere. I'm following several female western and eastern artists on Twitter who go crazy for him.

Was it ever explained why you and Nemona are in the same class? I know that age doesn't mean anything, but this is her second year and she's already done the treasure hunt before.
