Arrest Poppy for underage pokemon battling

>>57987378 (OP)
>INB4 Poppy hits a growth spurt and turns into Eri

Do you think that Pokémon are the only creatures in the world that go through evolution animations?

>>57987378 (OP)
Dawn (9)

>>57987378 (OP)
She was clearly meant to be younger up until pushback forced them to say she’s 9.

Ashanimetards thinking every single game main character is age 10 will never be not funny and pathetic

>>57987378 (OP)
This seems innacurate as their heads should relatively be the same size for a true comparison. I think poppy's bonnet is throwing it off.

>>57987535
We were fucking robbed

>>57987508
why would they get pushback? It's not like she's sexualized. If anything confirming her as older than she looks would sexualize her more

>>57987568
Because even for Pokemon standards a toddler being a E4 is fucking retarded.

>>57987626
My theory is that she's an "homage", for the lack of a better term, to old-school lolis from the late 70s and early 80s like Minky Momo, which was written by Takeshi Shudo, who also worked for the OS anime

>>57987626
>Childrens going to disband criminals? yeah that's fine
>wtf? a trainer child? that's stupid

>>57987641
We’ve had child and schoolchild trainers since the beginning of the series. It’s just that Poppy is a particularly egregious example of it (and she talks even worse than the others too). Also >>57987510

>>57987641
the people making pokemon games today are mostly just cargo culting gen 1, it's not really worth pretending they have the same philosophy

>>57987535
>>57987552
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

>>57987647
It also means that a 9-year old is good enough to be an Elite Four member, whereas the protagonist of a Pokemon game only ever starts out at the age of 10 or higher.
Poppy is canonically more of a prodigy than (You)

Dawn the video game character is mentioned to be 12 in the leaked documentation. In general your character is supposed to be right around middle school/junior high age with mostly cool older kids (high schoolers) as gym leaders before encountering older trainers who made a living off of Pokemon battles (though by this point the adults have all been given secondary jobs.)

>>57987696
Seems like an arbitrary standard when we still kick her ass.

>>57987378 (OP)
Poppy looks too small to be 9 and Dawn looks too old to be 10.
Poppy looks 5 and Dawn looks 14 - 16

>>57987696
well maybe if my parents had given me a steel type starter at the age of 3 instead of sending me to Lt. Surge Elementary during my peak pokemon training years i also could have been a generational prodigy

>>57987414
So Ash just kept pushing B for every generation?

>>57987378 (OP)
Microplastics and xenoestrogens in the water supply

>>57987626
>>57987631
They just needed a bait to get adult Pokemon fans to buy the game since they know most of them are sexually attracted to the underaged characters of the franchise. A cheap but simple marketing tactic

>>57987728
Poppy wasn't marketed at all. That was clearly Iono's role

>>57987728
what would cause an adult to be sexually attracted to a toddler?

>>57987750
Also, they could have done that with the protagonists. Toddler lolis are too far for most lolicons, so it just doesn't make sense.

People like Dawn, Iris, Lillie, Marnie, Misty, etc. because they grew up with them. For most people Poppy would look too young by the time they're playing the franchise

>>57987728
Most lolicons avoid Poppy desu.

>>57987696
Canonically more of a prodigy and talks like a lobotomized toddler too.

>>57987772
retard strength but for levelling up pokemon

>>57987728
>>57987768
>They created Poppy for sexualization
>When clearly was made for actual children to self insert as
Pedos are dumb as fuck lmao

>>57987568
break suspension of disbelief
alternatively talking like that is haha funny for a 9 year old in Japan and not just weird, so it might’ve been a poor carryover

>>57987750
>what would cause an adult to be sexually attracted to a toddler?
Being a pokemon fan

>>57987787
Yeah, that's our point. It makes no sense for Poppy to be sexualized.

Mind you though, Pokémon has hired lolicon artists in the past

>>57987378 (OP)
9 year olds in pokemon suddenly stretch out with transformers oo aa oo oo ee sound

Maybe Pokemon humans are like saiyans

>>57987772
autism is like that, yes

>>57987386
?

>>57987772
>and talks like a lobotomized toddler too.
Pretty sure that's the English localisation inserting their fanfics again.

Poppy: cute
Dawn: cute
verdict: based

>>57987378 (OP)
>Pokémon based on Small Folk is the Ace of a Girl who may have Dwarfism

>>57987696
Poppy is a literal nepobaby!!!

>>57987626
True.

I hate toddlers, and I hate Poppy. I want to kick her like a football. No more toddler characters, please.

>>57987414
most of /vp/ thinks that

>>57987378 (OP)
Shouldn't Poppy be 10 year old in Horizon after Timeskip?

>>57989462
Yeah but she didn't show up yet

>>57989462
no one in horizons has changed except for liko and the kids

>>57989497
Cause the other characters are older

>>57987709
12 turning 13, specifically

>>57987378 (OP)
I know the protagonists are always kids and beat legendaries and we've had characters like Iris as a champion, but I could always kind of keep the suspension of disbelief intact. I feel like this character takes it too far and kind of trivializes raising and battling pokemon as a whole. I guess what I'm saying is she's shit and I hate this stupid toddler.

>>57990015
9 year olds are not toddlers.

>>57989497
you think TPC has some rule where the anime can't change any canon characters?

>>57987709
>>57989997
canon doesn't come from stolen drawing room floor sweepings or the writer's stolen fanfiction

>>57988789
Of who?

god, imagine dawn visiting paldea, challenging poppy, and just fucking mopping the floor with her. then bullying her relentlessly after she wins. the academy can't do shit, dawn's not a student

>>57990709
Canon isn't real, its a vain attempt for autists to attempt to handle the lack of concrete logic in works of fiction. Its true for Biblical canon and its true for Pokemon.

>>57990716
This is assuming a lot of things. First of all, Dawn isn't a battler. She's more of a contest performer.

>>57990716
>Dawn
>good at battling
lmao

>>57990716
Geeta runs half of Paldea, she'd ban your ass from the country.

>>57990774
Even if Poppy is into being bullied?

>>57987378 (OP)
>age 10
Ashnime isn't canon to the games.

>>57990795
She's 9. So no, she isn't into that.

>>57987508
This. Poppy does not look or act like any 9 year old. She does not look like she is too old to be refused training in the Jedi ways.

>>57987378 (OP)

>>57990814
>11 is so much different
retard.

>>57987510
>>57990814
>11 is so much different
retard.

>>57987510
holy retard

>>57988789
Emphasis on baby.
