I've been thinking about this for a while now and I've realised one thing about the Pokémon games. There is no ethnic diversity in the games.

Surely there should be more then white people in the Pokémon world. So far, I've explored three of those worlds, Hoenn, Johto and Kanto and not a single dark skinned face amoungst the lot.

They keep using the phrase, "We all live in a Pokémon World!" Surely the world of Pokémon would have more mixed races.

I can understand that it might be difficult to put a dark skinned player on the GBA game, but I also think it's sending the wrong message. A world with Pokémon is peaceful. And this peaceful world has no ethnic diversity.

See what I mean?

What do you think?

Nah, it was a different show.

I remember the Demon Headmaster though.. that was great. Those classy "hypnotism" effects so cheaply done over the guy's eyes. Pure class :)

Does anyone remember this show which was on CBBC, had a very young Kate Winslet in and had some evil teacher building some machine that came up through the floor in the hall?

Weird.

Triffids? Wasn't that the Midwich Cuckoos?

If I'm thinking right, then that would make it an explosion in the school caused by the sacrifice of a teacher that killed them off. I ain't read the book but I've seen both the black and white movie and the colour one staring Mark Hamill (who played Luke Skywalker).

I think it was the common cold that killed off the Triffids.
