Why aren't there any adult Pokemon trainers in the Pokemon games? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Firstly, I'm talking about the player characters specifically. Of course there have been adults throughout the series who are still Pokemon trainers. But there's actually a simple explanation for why the player characters are always children. The biggest reason would be that the games are aimed towards children. However, there's more than that. The games always start at the very beginning of the trainer's journey. It's unusual for people in the Pokemon world to start later in life, so the game always starts with a child. There is one Pokemon game that has the player character as an adult, which is Pokemon Go. However, this isn't a mainline game, and it wasn't aimed towards children. It was created to encourage older fans to explore, which would be dangerous for kids. I think if there's enough of a demand for it, the Pokemon company will eventually make a game that starts with an adult character. Pokemon fans are getting older, and the Pokemon company actually does try to appeal to both older and younger fans when they can. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
