Well they are really imitating their own culture, they aren't going to change it in the other cultural translations. And ever thought of this, Brock was black(ish) and he was like a slave in pokemon doing all the cleaning and cooking.
So that basically means if I made a show based in Australia that, in parts, touched on different nationalities but I missed out on Hispanic and Black people (because there aren't HUGE amounts of them here), that would be ok right?
Please, get real.
I've never seen a black, hispanic, or anything besides white people. Why?
Meh, my brain hurts from reading most of your guys' comments...why was this thread even created? Does it even matter? *sighs* Oh well.
I love you.
Though really, they balance it out with Giratina, being too black.
Do you see any in Japan? Thought so.
o.o
The only "white people" in the games are Lt. Surge and Fantina. Everyone else is Japanese or Pacific Islander (Asian).
The reason you don't see any blacks in the games is because blacks simply don't live in Japan on a level high enough that it would make sense. For that very same reason most Japanese don't know how to represent blacks outside of stereotypes, which is why they avoid them altogether.[/QUOTE.]
When I looked up the answer for this question I wasn't really talking about story characters but playable characters. I'm not sure if they're gonna add them in Sword and Shield but I've always wanted to see my character in battle where it actually looks like me. Also MOST of the regions they visit in the game are based off of places with a fair amount of black people( i.e England in Gen 8 and France in Gen 6)
