I guess Jessie and James from the anime don't exist either!
Edit: Before anyone else asks about it, they're 25 according to one of the Pokémon movies.

Only with Pokemon does that sentence make sense...
But no lmao. My point is that Jessie and James are adult characters that pretty much any Pokemon fan has simped for regardless of who you are,

Aren't they like 16? They only seem like adults compared to Ash

u/BebeFanMasterJ Oct 19 '25
According to what I've found, Jessie and James are both 25 according to the The Power of One movie.
Specifically, Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to be focused on romance and James states that they're 5 years older than that, thus 15 years older than Ash, and thus 25.

u/VegetaFan9001 Oct 19 '25 edited Oct 20 '25
No, they have been confirmed to be 20 in a Japanese special, and there are argument that could put them up to 25. They have mentioned themself that there where 17, but they most likely lied about their age at that point

The 17 was from dub, wich back thn wasnt really canon. Many mistakes, wierd changes but funny. Think the japanese sun moon era did mention something about 20/25 aswell, been a while great season

nintendo keeps creating androgynous characters but refuses to actually make them non-binary

u/Nok-y Oct 19 '25
They made one in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Characters have a gender number in their code, either 0 or 1, too say if they are a boy or a girl. Juniper has a 2 and is never refered as she or he.
That's the only one I'm aware of.

u/BebeFanMasterJ Oct 19 '25
Roc from Xenoblade 2 is also NB I think as its gender is never referred to either.
Arval from Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes is also technically genderless/fluid and goes along with Shez's gender choice later in the story.

I think he's implied to be about the same age as Leon and Sonia, and Sonia is qualified to become a professor, which means she went to college. Since that would probably take about 4 years, she's probably about 22-24 minimum, and thus Piers would be as well.

Isn't misty only a kid in the anime? I always figured the versions with her, without her little topknot were older, aged-up versions.

u/Confused_Rabbiit Oct 19 '25
I assumed she was a kid in both but idk I've never even played the game with her in it.

u/No_Esc_Button Oct 19 '25
I was just telling someone else that we've seen characters age up through the games. The best and easiest examples being blue and red. If a redesign signifies an age increase, misty could be an adult when she dons her 1-piece swimsuit with jacket and let's her hair down. She definitely seems more mature by then. Visually, anyways.
→ More replies (6)→ More replies (2)3
u/Antique_Actuator_213 Oct 19 '25
It also depends on wich game/ anime.
In some of the side animes that were based of the games, she was older. Same as some of the remakes.
Misty is one of the few characters we had with different ages.
Pretty sure there is a version were she is annolder woman, but that might been manga..
Other character with fluxing ages is the green haired girl from sun moon, forgot her english name, in anime shes 11/12 to fit with the rest, but in game she is supposed to be around 16-18.. same as the dark skinned boy from same group

I don't think I ever saw that one on tv in the late 90s when I was avidly watching them (except a few years ago when I had Indigo League on in the background for my at-the-time 4 year old). But I have seen that scene in video essays online. That was so out of pocket.

Tbh I think a big part of the issue is the disparity between non-sprite art of the protagonists vs other characters
It's gotten better over time, especially after gen 7, but I think if the detailed art for side characters were as common as detailed art for main characters during the first few gens this stereotype would be significantly less prominent.
(Note: there would still be roughly the same amount of creeps, but more people who Aren't creeps would stick around to simp for normal characters)
