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?

well... those graphics are pretty crummy.
Maybe on the Nintendo DS, they might get it right ;)
Joking aside, yes the GBA can handle a varity of colours.

If you do that, we also need the protagonist to be 75 and in a wheelchair. Just so we don't discriminate old or disabled people.
