Let's take May from Pokemon and Chiyo Mihama from Azumanga Daioh. Both are ten. However, May is a liar. This is why:

Chiyo Mihama:

Notice how short little Chiyo-chan is compared to that male high school student and the desk in the backround?


And here is little miss jailbait:

Chiyo-chan is, at the tallest, about half the height of wunderbewbs here.

See what I mean? Chiyo is a REAL ten-year old. However, 4kids probably made May ten so that there could be more of a connection with the target audience.
 

CyberCubed

Yeah, ok!
May is 10 in the Japanese version too.

I like the fact that she looks like a 14/15 year old, nothing wrong with being jailbait. It's not like May herself knows that.

Clearly we're great!
Chiyo-chan is from a different series with different art styles.

Its almost time
>_> -_-j

She said she was 10 years old in both versions. And so what if she's tall and has more boobies than normal, people can hit puberty and different ages. And if she was older than ten and her goal was to see the world then don't you think she'd be out travelling much earlier?

Point being: May is indeed ten

Cheer up.
How funny, I was just reading the other thread (thats now locked) called "Do you think May is really ten". I remember posting then, good times, good times.

Oh yes. May is a horny + sexy little cartoon 10 year old. But thats just between us.

Edit (better put in some words of wisdom): I'm sure the writers purposely made her 10 as the icing on the cake if you see what else she gets upto.

Edit #2 (after thoroughly reading the post):

I aslo think they know that a large part of the audiience is teens and tweens and so made her look older, this also probally why Brock is there. ;025;

Yeah, I don't quite see how you can compare the two but I do believe May to be around the same age as Ash (maybe a little younger). Especially after reading Cybercubes "A Day Inside May" (very good by the way)

Also, height really cannot be the judge for age. I am much taller than my father and yet he is much older than me. I also have friends who are the same age but are shorter than my 11-year-old sister. So being tall for your age is quite likely but I feel the way May acts and the shape of her figure makes her older than 10.

I do agree with you though, May is probably said to be 10 to connect with the target audience. That part is more that probably 90% assured.

Thanks for that, just gunna read now. I scrolled down a bit and read "May's firm breasts" - and with Cybercubed's attitude, that starts it off for a great story.
 

CyberCubed

Yeah, ok!
You would think people would get used to it now that May has been around for 3 years.

Anyway, look at Caroline. She's much taller and more curvier than May, so there is an indication that May will continue to grow.

I guess they wanted her physical appearance to match Ash's age, rather than looking much younger than him (like Max, who is probably only 2 years younger than his sister)
 
My theory is that she's a ten year old in a 15 year old's body. I mean, she definitely behaves like she's ten.

<-winning with it
Well when ash left his town at the age of I think 10, he seemed to be about the same height as May. They are trying to make May like a new ash but continuing the journey of ash.

Haruka is an animated character. The people responsible for her character design wanted her to be ten years old, and they also wanted her to have breasts. She is, and she does. The end. Get over it.
 

skarmachild

Cheer up.
Hmm, that's basically it Heracross.

Also, some more proof - in the games, both May and Brendan are 10 years old. There could be another thread "There is NO FREAKING WAY Brendan is 10".

Like Heracross said, it's up to the character designers what they do.

Doesn't Ken Sugimori design the game characters? Or does he just take the sprites and draw them?
But I doubt he designed to be ten. After gen1 I'd have to say the characters are 12-15 years old. The anime writers have just stuck on ten and were too lazy to alter her character accordingly.
