How old are you /vp/? Do you wish you could play a character in-game that relfected you a little more, like, getting to play s a Hiker instead of a pre-teen kid?
>Self-inserting
autism and a waste of digits

what's the point of playing the game if you're not imagining/engaged with it in any way?
>>33446666
No
Teens are fine
If GF try to change that we get designs like Nate
>>33446688
imagining ≠ engaged
You can be engaged without self-inserting. Hell, you can be engaged with games that don't even have a protagonist.

what if it was a customization character?
>>33446666
I suppose you don't play Metroid because samus is a female.
You are not the center of the world, sometimes it's cool to follow the stories of people thare are NOT us
>>33446707
Then I don´t mind as long as is not >19
That´s why I didn´t mention Calem
But I doubt customization remains in gen 8

>THE ONLY WAY TO BE ENGAGE IS TO SELF INSERT YOURSELF
Read a fucking book you anklebiter.
No that's shit idea
We should play as a 11-18 Boy or Girl
With customization options
All I'd like is to have a better haircut selection at the start.
>>33446666
Pokemon is one of the few games where I would want to play as myself but since the character customization isn't great I just play as waifus
>>33446666
I'm fine with playing a character that looked like an 11 year old version of me if I didn't get fat.
Childhood and youth push exploration. Adulthood has fewer mysteries.
>>33446666
I'm 20 years old but I'm okay with playing as a child. The series is targeted towards them so it's make sense to have a child lead
>>33446666
I self insert all the time.In my current Black 2 playthrough Roxie and I have a thing going on.
>>33446666
No. Pokèmon is role-playing video game series.
I'd like it if the protagonists were a bit older, in the 16-18 range, personally. I just feel it makes a bit more sense to go out into the world on a journey at that age. Probably why I like X and Y more than any other reason, really.

>Adulthood has fewer mysteries.
This is a fact. almost all of the Adults in Pokèmon Earth have jobs and have no time for such things.
It's better idea to start a Pokémon quest as a kid or pre-teen.
>>33448497
No, cause they'll already be half grow up and get jobs.
They won't have time to collect data for Pokédex.
For example: Cynthia
29, I live with my parents and don't have a job.
I'd rather not self-insert.
26 and I guess the Clerk from Gen V spilling his suitcase

I never played a Metroid game so don't know if they do this, but at least give the character some character then. Don't just make him/her a blank face that stands there during event. Kind of like what the Zelda games started doing in the 3D games.
