Why are these two the only anime girls to look significantly younger than their game counterparts? It's especally noticeable with Lillie because Mallow and Lana look exactly like their game selves

They were aged down to match Ash
Gamefreak has been making the protagonists and rivals older since Gen V, but the anime insists on everyone being 10.
Hell, the anime characters were always younger, since the Gen 1-4 protagonists were 11 or 12.
>>33123671
>they are younger in the ashnime
>serena is taller than ash and lillie is his same heigth
>>33123690
The Gen 6 protagonists are canonically 11, and Lillie is around that age too, but she's taller than them and even Gladion
While in the anime, she's shorter than Gladion and about an exact match for Ash

...I never realized how much of a manlet Gladion is. Growth spurt when
Lillie looks the same age to me. Serena was aged down to be Ash's love interest, obviously.
>>33123888
Gladion isn't short, Lillie is just giant
>>33123671
Serena > Lilie
>>33123844
False, Calem and Serena are 17 years old.
>>33123913
Lillie is tall! TALL!
>>33123844
lillie use heels
>>33123962
Still taller. If you account for Gladion's shoes then you can tell that he's pretty close to Lillie's height in her first model. Notice how her forehead extends beyond his height.
>>33123953
Tall!
>>33123671
Because for the first point, Ingame Serena is between the ages of 15 and 17 so having a 15-17 year old crushing on a 10 year old would raise a few eyebrows.
>b-but just make Ash older
Nigga...
for the second point, all they really changed was the eyes and brows on Lillie. Doesn't make her look younger or older, just a bit different.

>False, Calem and Serena are 17 years old.
Gonna need a sauce on that. Not Bulbapedia either; a primary sauce.
>>33124634
Emma, a 16 year old character, and she's said to be younger than the protagonists
>>33124634
>>33123948
I always thought they were 18. They were never really new trainers starting out on a journey. They were just that friendly neighbor that the other kids in town kind of tricked into going on a journey.
lillie is tall for her mother genes, gladion is short like his fat fuck father
>>33123754
Ash is a manlet...confirmed?
>>33123671
Serena was aged down. In games, she's 17-18, while anime Serena is 10.
Same applies to Lillie. Aged down to 10, while she's 11 in the games. That, and the SM anime has a really shit sakuga, so she looks even younger.
>>33123844
Calem and Serena are at least seventeen. We're on Gen 7 now
>>33123671
Both Lillie looks exactly like 11 years old. I don't get your problem.
>>33127549
they're 16
>>33123671
Anime Serena looks like an old hag to me.
>>33126909
>Aged down to 10, while she's 11
That's not really a great difference.
>>33123844
>older brother is shorter than younger sister
are we sure that lillie isn't the older sibling?
>>33127760
>Emma confirmed to be 16
>Also confirmed to be younger than the protagonist
Hurr durr my logic and reasoning skills tell me they must be the same age.
>>33127773
Actually, it is. To an adult, 1-2 years don't matter, but for little girls, that's typically when they hit puberty and get a small growth spurt.
>>33123671
The games are made for an all ages international audience. The anime is made for Japanese children so both Ash and the lead girl are made short for boys and girls to project themselves onto.
