Why does Misty in the anime look different than Misty in the game?

Question

I'm just wondering why. Why couldn't they make them look the same?

this would be so much easier if i was a nerd,XD

Answer 1

Actually the Gen I/III Misty looks the same as the Misty from the Anime. As the Gen II/IV games take place years after the events in these games, Misty has aged, which is why she looks different.

Wait, so in pokemon HGSS, she is only 12 years old?
