>children becoming elite trainers and championsAm I the only one who thinks this is kinda weird? There's a reason why you have to be 35 to run for president IRL. Do you think the average person is okay with their region's most authoritative trainers being young children?
Imagine the 2 of them dating
>>59317554Don't taint Poppy with Ash.
>>59317547Poppy looks like a toddler
>>59317558Ash putting his little pecker inside Poppy ToT uuooohhhh!
>>59317582No, that would be my large pecker. Ash is too busy fucking his male Pikachu to notice top shelf girls like Poppy.
>>59317547Pokemon Trainers aren't politicians or authority figures. Drayden is the mayor of Opelucid, but that's entirely separate from his job as Gym Leader.Lumiose's mayor is mentioned several times in Z-A, so the government is pretty much a separate entity from the Pokemon League.
>>59317618But they do command respect and authority being the strongest trainers in their region. Even if the league isn't technically the government, they're still a formidable military power. The champion is basically the hokage of their region.
>>59317547They want the pedo audience.They are scum and Pokémon SV is shit.
>>59317856That's complete headcanon. >they're still a formidable military powerThe fuck are you talking about?
>>59317547in SV, Geeta is mentioned to be both Champion and League chairwoman. They're supposed to be different positions
>>59317945It's not headcanon. Champions and elite four are respected by other trainers every time they appear.>The fuck are you talking about?What part of strongest trainers in the region do you not understand?
>>59317987There's clearly an armed military if Garchomp being compared to a fighter jet in universe is any indication. We just normally don't see it because that's not what the stories are about.There's also a police force and legal system, as most of Team Flare were confirmed to be arrested in Z-A, with Mable only getting off because she took a plea deal.Champions and Gym Leaders aren't politicians or law enforcement. They can help out with that, but it's not their job.
If you didn't start playing the Pokemon games around 10 yo then of course you wouldn't get it, tourist kun.
>>59317994That doesn't contradict what I said. I said they're formidable in their own right. Garchomp being compared to a fighter jet is proof of that.
>>59317547Brother the first game had a champion be 10 years old, the time to complain is long gone.
>>59318021Blue was 11 when he became Champion. 10 was a localization error.
>>59318021Blue is a fraud. The Champion position was vacant, so he became Champion immediately after beating Lance.
>>59318040No he was the first champion. He's the og loc of champions that makes him LIT!!!!!
>>59318040Beating Lance was still a feat considered unthinkable prior to Blue and Red doing so, the Indigo League went without a champion for many many years because he was that much of a Great Filter compared to other regions.That's why those two are canonically classified as Battle Legends, they did what was thought to be impossible at 11 goddamned years old.
>>59317856why can't a 9 year old be one of the strongest trainers? there are 9 year old piano players more skilled than 35 year old piano players
>>59317547so does the key double as a rape whistle
>>59317618Lumious is becoming more and more unsafe because the mayor wants more wildzones, the city it's based on has many many no go zones, how curious......
>>59319082Whoa. Between BW being about the antagonists trying to disarm the USA and now this, I wonder if GF is secretly based.
>>59317547The pokemon company regularly hires known lolicons and shotacons for card art, merchandise, game assets, etc. They explicitly design girls to be "eye candy". The young characters and how they work depends on the artist's fetish.
>>59319082>>59319085SWSH:>Indian CEO tries to bring about apocalypse to solve energy crisis in notBritain that won't happen for 1000 years and fights with a giant elephant when you try to stop him SV:>Brown woman literally named Geeta is designed to look like a roach, also, notIberia is ignored in favor of Chinese myths, a region based off Japan again, and one set in notAmerica
>>59319124how curious it's like they're telling us how shitty a certain place is & how dumb their people are.
>>59317547>one was sent out into the world to become a man>the other was babiedIt's definitely some kind of social commentary.
Ash looked at least 15 in XY
>>59317547Poppy is only in the Elite Four because Geeta and/or Rika finds it easier to babysit her that way
>>59319292She's also like the most difficult trainer on the team. She might just be Paldea's strongest.
>>59317547Current Poppy is same aged as Ash on Pokemon 2023 unless he is 15 now.
>>59321287Poppy is 9 in the games, but she might've just turned 9 now in the anime so they don't have to redesign her.
>>59317547It's a fucking cartoon for children you fucking overgrown manchild
>>59317547It's just to appeal to the target audience and hardly specific to Pokémon. Yeah its stupid that the strongest person at the end of every JRPG and battle shounen is nearly always a teenager, but it is what it is.
>>59317994>They can help out with that, but it's not their job.hence why they typically do fuck all about the villains in every game
>>59320038>Actually uses hazards properlyHilarious how she's already a better trainer than Geeta.
>>59319124dont forget Jeeta is incompetent as well
>>59317547None of this is real, it's all just their utopian society's way to deal with autistic children without making them feel useless or doted upon.
>>59321914To be fair, 99% of that is just poor game design. She is supposed to be a very skilled trainer in universe.
>>59317547Anime has specific age stereotypes that are set in stone. You have toddler, kid, middle schooler, high schooler, young adult, mature adult, and old. Ash and crew are the Middle Schooler archetype for all the kids to want to look up to but anime style is really shit at showing a transition between ages.
>>59317547It's not politics, it's more like sports or arts. Like how there are many young piano prodigies or up and coming young sports players. Just because they're the best at it doesn't mean they have the final say in dictating the rules. They're in the position for skill alone.
>>59322253This is basically how Japanese irl age. They look like puffy babies until middle or highschool when they start looking like adults. Then they will become mature and look like they could work in the office. Last, sometime in their 60s-80s they might just shrivel up and start to look like a wise master.
>>59321293Poppy was 9 before timeskip, currently she is 10 years old after one year timeskip.
>>59317994Not a flying type btw
>>59317994Not on Pokemon 2023
>>59317547Another incel pedophile thread
>>59317547The e4 doesn't hold political power what are you even talking aboutPokémon battling is pretty much an esport, anyone can compete with anyone because just like in esports you aren't doing shit, what only matters is how much time you can waste and how long your parents can bear with your NEET ass
