Don't they just look old?
 
Tower Tycoon Palmer and Hall Matron Argenta look so old in their artwork *No offense*. You can see that in the Forum Style "The Final Resistance".

Arcade Star Dahlia and Castle Valet Darach are looking pretty reasonable.

Factory Head Thorton looks like a midget *No offense (Again)*

Dragonbane May 28th, 2009 6:24 AM

Yeah, to me, even the character sprite looks like an old man. :P

Sweet Jasmine May 28th, 2009 10:46 AM

Well yeah your right.. But it's Nintendo's choice :3..

Zebeedoo May 28th, 2009 10:55 AM

Yeah. You're right! Though I think Thorton is smexy for his size. :D

templekeeper May 28th, 2009 11:52 AM

Don't you think Cyrus looks old? He's not even 30...on topic, not all good trainers have to be teenagers. I like that they varied it up a little.

Dark--Pikachu May 29th, 2009 12:44 AM

Palmer looks wrinkley, haha.

Captain Fabio May 29th, 2009 2:01 AM

Regardless, I think Palmer looks cool! XD

rnstyip May 29th, 2009 2:04 AM

Lol, but Palmers got a good belt. A Heatran, Regigigas, and Cresselia pwns, but its a bit noobish.

Zelda May 29th, 2009 2:49 AM

They actually do look a bit old, but I wouldn't want all the characters to be teenagers only. Palmer looks a bit old, but I expect that because he's Barry's father.

RYOUKI May 29th, 2009 3:02 AM

Palmer is a dad. Also, Why does every trainer have to be a teenager? Old People can be trainers too, like Spenser (Hoenn BF)

BHwolfgang May 29th, 2009 3:10 AM

It shows that everyone in the Pokémon world of all ages can be a trainer. :)

I strongly agree. As a matter of fact, not much main characters in the game are old so it's good to have a few.

Blaziken_Boy May 29th, 2009 5:39 AM

Reminds me of the Veteran right outside Celestic Town, the one about to give up battling until you fight him.

Imagine. May 29th, 2009 6:51 AM

Yeah, most of those guys look pretty old.

dudegirl626 May 29th, 2009 6:51 AM

Oh, right, what about the Veteran in Oreburgh Gate!

I agree he does look like a Midget and I can't stand him because I can never get to him when I'm in the Battle Factory


:t354:TG

Zelda May 29th, 2009 5:54 PM

Thorton does look short yes, but I am glad to have all different ages, sizes, etc. in the game. If all the sprites were the same age and sizes, it would have been pretty boring.

rnstyip May 29th, 2009 8:10 PM

Thorton is ALWAYS under estimated.

Queen May 29th, 2009 9:59 PM

Now that you mentioned it, I agree.

dragonarche May 29th, 2009 10:03 PM

your right he does look old,
but if the game was all teenagers it would suck

rnstyip May 30th, 2009 4:15 AM

I guess people underestimate him cuz he's a shorty, forgetting that his team can contain even Lati's. Oh, and if you're lucky, you'll beat him first try.

He isn't?! He looks about 40!
*goes to look at his bio on Bulbapedia*
Holy crapola! He's only 27!

Palmer, however doesn't look that old. At least not any older than any other 30 or 40-something.

Melodyfree May 30th, 2009 3:42 PM

Palmer doesn't look that old. Argenta however, does. xD She could easily be in her 50's.
But hey, we need a little balance when you have Darach/Dahlia as the young adults and Caitlin/Thorton as the teenagers (I don't find either of them to be a day over 16).

I have to agree with you. If all of them were the same young or old looking people, it would be pretty boring. However, if we have different looking people it would be much better because it's like real life. If all people looked the same it'd be weird.

rnstyip May 30th, 2009 6:28 PM

It would be hilarious, though a bit flabbergasting, to see all of them the same height as thorton.
