*** In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', it gets even weirder as the Yoshi there apparently hatches out of the egg with vague knowledge of the world ("Is that one of those 'kiss' things? I've go to get me one of those!") and no name, but talks like a teenage punk and generally acts like an adult. |

* The... questionable art skills of Zun, ''[[Touhou]]'''s creator have made the intended age of most characters unfathomable from their official portraits. Since [[Word of God]] stays extremely vague on the subject, this has left the fandom free reign on their age. Even more than the others, [[Catgirl]] Orin and [[Cute Witch]]/[[Hot Witch]] Patchouli (who wears baggy <s>pajamas</s> clothes) have fallen victims to this trope, alternating between [[Token |

* The three main characters of the ''[[Professor Layton]]'' series all experience this in the original trilogy. Layton himself, judging by what was learned of him in ''Unwound Future'', is in his mid- to late-thirties. His self-styled apprentice Luke insists that he's too old for most toys, but still wears short pants (the games are set in [[Anachronism Stew]] England) and is clearly shorter and younger than Flora. The only clue given for Flora's age is that the events of the first game happened after she was "out of childhood," but she's still young enough to require a guardian; most players estimate her to be between fourteen and seventeen. |
