Embrace the age diversity of the Pokémon community

One of the coolest details in Scarlet and Violet was that its private Pokemon school setting featured adult students. While we still played as a kid this time around, as is typically the case in the series, I’d love to see the Gen 10 games really lean into how far-reaching Pokémon is in terms of demographics. A lot of us have been playing Pokémon since we were very young, but we’re grown now, and I’d love us to be able to pick adult protagonists. Sure, there might be some tweaking of dialogue here and there, but smart writing can accommodate a hero that could be a kid, teen, or adult.
