And Dot Was 13-14 - Tumblr Posts

I'm super happy to see all the love the new Pokemon anime is getting on here and on places like Twitter, but there's one thing that's been kind of bugging me for some reason...

Like, why does everyone keep insisting the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers are 10 years old? As of right now, their ages are unknown on the wiki.

I get that Ash was 10 and the OG anime said something about trainers starting their journey at 10, but that doesn't mean trainers have to start their journey at 10.

Plus, this could be a totally different AU from the OG anime, so the same rules might not apply.

And Liko's school uniform doesn't really look like one an elementary school student would wear to me. It looks more like a middle school or maybe even a high school uniform. Plus, I feel like 10 years old is a little young to go to boarding school, maybe?

And Idk, I feel like they all look and act older, too? (Except Roy. He acts like a 10 year old) I would believe Liko and Dot could be anywhere from like 12 to 15.

I think it would be super cool if the new anime broke the misconception that every character in the Pokémon universe is 10 years old and at least make Liko and Dot a little older. Not that there's anything wrong with them being 10 per say.

But, idk thanks for reading my pointless rant.
