Pokemon Fan Points Out Interesting Detail About X and Y NPCs
Players do a double take on Pokemon X and Y NPCs after one fan points out a peculiar detail that encourages players to reopen the games to take another look. The newfound detail raises questions about the Pokemon X and Y world as players experience it, adding further narrative and potential lore related insights even if it was not entirely intended by its creators.
Pokemon X and Y are the sixth generation Pokemon games that were released on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2013. It was the first time that the series made a significant jump into the 3D space, and was praised for its innovation in gameplay and design. The games also offered the furthest customization options thus far in a Pokemon series by allowing players to design their avatar in various ways. Pokemon has always been known for its archetypical NPCs that either battle against you in the fields, such as school children trainers, or offer fun dialogues in the towns scattered across the map. Despite the games being out for a while, fans are continuously discovering new things about the Kalos region and its inhabitants.

In other words, each design of the scientists are illustrated with nuance to make them appear to be older versions of the same character. Similarly, the same can be said for the Pokemon rangers who are younger versions of their veteran counterparts.
Speculation on what lore implications this could have is fun to think about.
