Special Week, for example, gets a woman in her late-30s who gets the coveted “third mom” position and is miraculously wealthy enough to afford her food bills.

Nice Nature gets an overly enthusiastic man who’s probably too young to be a professional trainer but he’s doing his best. He enjoys origami but is terrible at it.

TM Opera O gets a man in his 40s who is about two life sized Opera statues away from an astronomical crashout but he does his best to believe in her regardless because he likes seeing her happy.

While it was common for 10-year-olds to become Pokémon Trainers in the past, modern parents feel that is much too young to send their children off on their own journeys. Although the laws surrounding the age of Pokémon Trainers haven't changed, many regions now require the permission of the legal guardian for a Trainer to start their journey before a certain age. The age requirement is different per region.

Since it was quickly becoming less common and acceptable for children to leave home so young, Game Freak decided to create video games that would allow for people of any age to go on their own journeys without leaving the safety of their own home.
