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?

Not.. really.
I wasn't saying it as an insult. Just an observation. Like I am a kinda light tan colour (you see, contrary to popular belief I do go out and have a life away from my Cube and the Ninty forum), black people are black, asian people are brown, martians are green, etc.

Muh.
Where does Pokemon come from?
And how many black people live in Japan?
Look at anything from Japan - usually 100% white cast.
Because that is their culture.

The fact that there is no ethnic diversity means there can be no racism.
You're all just jealous because you want to live in a pokemon world.
Just without Pikachu.

On the subject of racist stuff, I was thinking about the possibility of 50cent being the main character in GTA: San Andreas. No doubt that would cause a heck of a storm: the first major black videogame star being a criminal. I can see that going down well.
