I didn't even notice that Polyusica didn't age until you mentioned it.

I agree that Mashima doesn't like change. I can't really think of much that's changed with Fairy Tail since the beginning of the series. There's hardly any character development and he doesn't like killing off good guys and I think that kinda takes away from the series a bit.
