I'd prefer slightly older protagonists as well, but after getting ones in BW/BW2 and XY they went back to 11 years old in SM so it's not entirely a surprise we got younger children here.

Strangely enough I don't mind the protags for this game. I'm probably going to grow to like them sooner or later, for now they're fine. About the names, don't exactly fit the protags but it's fine, we can name them whatever we like anyways.

Idk call me crazy but they don't look that young to me. I honestly think it's just the artstyle. I might be wrong but I think if you drew Serena/Calem (the oldest ones to date) in the same artstyle it would be pretty similar... but whatever

I really like the designs anyways...

The protagonists look very generic, even by Pokemon standards, like they're not even trying. I know Japan is very liberal with how young characters look, hence why Ash looks older than an actual 10 year old (or alternatively, how Jotaro Kujo from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is 17 and looks much MUCH older than that), but the protagonists look more like they're around the age of Youngster Joey. Not only that, but the female protagonist looks like a gender-swapped version of the male protagonist, which just comes off as lazy to me.

Eh, they're okay. I was kind of hoping we wouldn't be playing literal 11 year olds again. =/ Was really hoping we'd just play as an older Red & Leaf. Oh well.

Cute, but kind of on the fence. I like the cutesy art-style, but I also enjoy seeing the older looking protagionists we have seen since Generation 5. This could be just me though.

I don't mind the protagonists' design, given that I like their young and cute look, and seems to have a bit of adventurous vibe.
