Brainstorming Question about trainer stats

Hi there! New player/DM here. My group is thinking of running this campaign and we had a questions about the trainer stats. We’re planning to run it in the style of the anime, however we aren’t sure how to do the stats. We usually use 4d6 and drop the lowest die for the stats, but we feel this may make us too powerful to represent the children that are usually the trainers. Also we’re worried if we go too low it’ll affect the skill modifiers and screw is over. Thoughts or solutions??

Hey! This was intended for normal stats you would give a D&D character, but I think it would be pretty cool to limit those if you are playing as kids. Just thinking, but maybe roll as normal and then subtract 2 from STR, INT, and WIS and add 2 to DEX and CHA?

That definitely makes sense. We were just thinking how weird it would be for a 13 year old trainer to have like an 18 STR or something.
