    In case you havent noticed
    Pokémon has never had BLACK people in it,

    Do you think tehre gonna put black people in ,

    Pokémon Black and White?

    I think they should
    its really racist to be honest!
     
    There's a screenshot of a darker skinned fellow sprite in the early Coro Coro pages.
     
    Awesome
    !!

    but still cant believe there was no black people all along
     
    JUST EVERYONE WATCH WHAT THEY SAY IN THIS THREAD!

    ANY RACIST COMMENTS AND I WILL CUT YOU DOWN SO FAST YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU.

    Anyway, I hope we get more variety in the races of people in this game. I kind of understood in the first four games because they were based on Japanese locales but this one is looking likes its taking place somewhere else, so hopefully we'll see something different.
     
    It's not racist? The game is based on real-life Japan, where there are a very small number of dark-skinned people living there.
     
    What Horizon said.

    And dahlia (of the Battle Frontier) is black. And someone (I don't know the name) in Shadows of Almia is too.
     
    Where is the "Will there be white people in Pokemon XXX?" thread. These characters aren't white. They're fair-skinned, but they aren't white. You should rephrase your question.....

    If you're specifically looking for dark-skinned persons in video games, then point your finger at heterogeneous countries, like America. We really have no reason at all for the lack of diversity in our games (but we're making an effort these days?).
     
    I don't see anything racist about this other than the people that make it look racist. Japan doesn't have a lot of black people living in it, so they don't really add them in their games because they don't see them a lot. Also, there is no reason this is racist because the games are based in Japan. It's only racist if you make it racist or your a troll.

    Don't forget Phoebe! I absolutely love her. She's so pretty.~ (Though I really see these characters as Indian due to the nations close proximity to Asian countries but whatever. I don't think I'll get far arguing that point here.)
     
    There better be an Italian Gym Leader in the games otherwise they're racist.
     
    Dahlia is not of African descent... she is Middle Eastern and they did their best to let you know without saying it. Look at her battle facility, theme music and Pokemon. She IS in fact poof that there can and will be other races included.

    I haven't noticed it because I don't care about race. We're all human, we all originally came from Africa, so what difference does skin color/physical features make? The people who point this stuff out and complain about not "putting black people in it" are the racist ones because they think only about race. Sure, I wouldn't mind seeing black people in Pokemon, I think it would be cool, but that's not what I think about when I play Pokemon.
     
    It's not racist in the bit. Pokémon is made in Japan. It's based off the Japanese regions, and it's majority retail comes from Japan. So, being a company, they're going to make their products relatable to their biggest buyers, ie, making 99% of the game's characters light skinned.

    99%? Well, there is Brock...
     
    i seem to remember a darker skinned character in colloseum. or am i crazy?
     
    Huh. I just noticed that. I don't think it's racism though =/
    I certainly didn't call Pokemon sexist back when we couldn't choose to play as a girl.
