You know sometimes it doesn't really occur to me the wild implications of fictional characters having a confirmed age can have when you take into account the plot of the games.
Luke is 10 in LS/SC, 11 in MM, 12 in AL and 13 in all the OG trilogy game (the crossover included if you take into account that he wears is og trilogy outfit).
How wild of a year that's gotta be for a 13-year-old. I mean with the other games he's had (I'm assuming) at least some time to process the events of that game's plot but like
In a single year Luke, a 13-year-old boy, has:
learned there's an entire village made of robots that will stop working should the reinhold's family gold be touched
breathed in hallucinogenic gas that caused him (and others) to believe a 50-year-old town was not 50 years old
basically kidnapped (along with layton, phoenix and maya) by a company that used plant chemicals to make a town believe they lived in a medieval town with witches their whole lives and was trapped there for about 5 days and barely slept
Believed his beloved mentor/father figure was dead via goldification and very much grieved for him (even though he thankfully was not dead- I've rambled about this in slightly more detail here)
some time prior to UF/LF learns his parents are planing to move to america and isn't happy about it
believed he met his future self when it was just some guy(tm) who looks a lot like him
said guy then proceeded to almost destroy london
moves to america
What a year.
