Quoted By:

The MC's of BW were 14 though, not late teens, even if you were when you played them.
I'll also add, you've a critical lack of awareness if you played BW in your teens and didn't understand it was resolutely a kiddy-focused IP.

Mid to late teens is the perfect age I think. It makes no sense letting young children go out into the wild on their own, and makes the whole world feel like a playground rather than an adventure.

Agreed, XY and SWSH had the right vibe for the protagonists ages, you could easily believe they exist nebulously in the late-teen/young adult range. My biggest peeve about SV is genuinely how the protagonist models feel like toddlers sometimes (and the lack of clothing customisation doesn't help that).

PLA for a moment had a good worldbuilding note. It's too bad they didn't capitalize on it.

Serena and Calem are arguably at least 17 because of Emma's dialogue implying they're older, when she's 16 herself

Either way, still works. At 12 boys were expected to be working and girls were expected to be married. I just wish they'd touch more on it in the games. We get some hints here and there, like the talk of pokemon feed being expensive for more than one mon, most young characters using only 1-2 mons, and hitting home that the PC is a prodigy.
