Someone always says this whenever anyone mentions the ten-year-olds not looking ten. I can't speak for everyone, but what bothers me isn't so much that the girls have boobs. I also had boobs when I was ten; one of my friends had to start wearing a bra when she was seven. I know it happens. The reason it bothers me is because a) almost ALL of the girls have curves and b) these ten-year-old characters have been sexualized in other ways (writers confirmed they switch out the girl in every series so that the male viewers can have fresh eye-candy... ew) which leads me to believe that giving them breasts is the artists trying to sexualize them further.

Have you ever read Loveless? That manga featured a twelve-year-old with large breasts. There was actually a reason for it (part of her character development was about how she felt awkward looking older than she was), and she was the only character like that - the other girls were either older or had more common sizes for their age even if they weren't flat - and she wasn't sexualized IIRC. So basically, what I'm trying to say is, I'm not saying no anime girl should ever have curves, but that it's kind of creepy to draw every ten-year-old in the series with curves and miniskirts.

And IMO Hikari wasn't flat; she just wore a looser top.

What a coincidence; I'm reading old secrets the day you post this comment.

Nah, it was just one guy who claimed that and he isn't even involved with the show anymore, if memory serves.

The guy who wrote most of the first season and worked on a good chunk of the first series said Kasumi/Misty was for girls to relate to. Like a lot of shows aimed at little boys, one girl thrown in so they won't completely alienate the tomboys watching.

Yeah, I've read Loveless and I know which character you're talking about!

Hikari always looked pretty flat, though, even during the rare times she wore other clothes, aside from her one million variations on the same pink dress and her usual outfit... and the Pochama costume. ^^;
So, basically, Haruka's busty, Kasumi started out less so, then got bustier in Jouto, Hikari's flat, and Iris is flat. I think it's pretty much fair?

If you meant the outfits, you've got a point there! I'm mostly happy Pokemon isn't the sort of show that does panty shots (well, intentional ones that aren't split-second single frame ones that require you to be weird enough to go frame-by-frame to catch a sight of undetailed black panties...) and things, though.

Fun coincidence~!
