Well, you got your first wish.

As for the second I have three problems with it. 1) Your character is, like, twelve or something. 2) I don't trust them enough to make the romance good. 3) It seems to me that it would be a tacked on thing because of what the game's focus is.

[diet_poison]

ahaha you're right, and I keep forgetting how young the characters are because they're Having Adult Adventures On Their Own. In my mind they're all 15-16. I don't even do it on purpose.

IIRC as of BW/B2W2/XY, the protagnosists were aged up to midteens.

[diet_poison]

Were they? Wouldn't surprise me - and it would make more sense.

[ryttu3k]

There's no canonical age, IIRC, but it was a Big Thing around the BW release that the protagonists were in at least their mid-teens. (I headcanon them as sixteen in BW, fourteen in BW2, and fifteen in XY, but that's just taking guesses.)

[forgottenjester]

Yeah, I always age mine up in my head too.

[(Anonymous)]

The PCs have definitely been aging up over the generations, which makes it even weirder when you go back and play, say, the Gen 1 remakes. Super-competent 10-year-olds ahoy~

At least the X/Y PCs are generally assumed to be at least 16, maybe even as high as (gasp) 18. Kind of a babyfaced 18, maybe, but I'll run with it.

[diet_poison]

Yeah, they definitely read 16 to me. Makes sense that they decided to age them up.

(Still not in favor of a romance plotline being included. I even kinda ship Serena/Calem, but I'd rather just do that in my head or in my own space; the game is supposed to be about Pokemon.)

[(Anonymous)]

YMMB, I'd say that depends on the games. Gen 5 and 6 player characters seem to be teenagers rather than preteens, so I could probably buy a romance sidestory with them more easily.

Still, you're right in that the writing and plot of the games are usually not conducive to romance sidestories.

[forgottenjester]

Have they officially been aged up or just drawn that way?

[masu_trout]

The protagonist of X and Y is at least seventeen, if not older; you're referred to as older than Emma during the Looker sidequests, and she's been confirmed as sixteen. Eighteen or so seems to be most likely, since Mimi the Espurr specifically has a problem with 'grown-ups'.

[forgottenjester]

Oh, this makes me happy. Thank you for telling me!

[ryttu3k]

Ooh, I didn't realise that! (I haven't finished the Looker sidequest, oops.) I had been headcanoning them as around fifteen-ish.
