>the triplets are British>Lenora is half-African half-British>Burgh is Italian>Elesa is French>Clay is Japanese>Skyla is Hispanic>Brycen is Chinese>Drayden is German>Iris is Middle EasternThe Great Unova Melting Pot
>>56580143No wonder it flopped
>>56580143I'm dying to know what the hell is Marlon is supposed to be
>>56580143thoughts on beta skyla
>>56580143>Clay is JapaneseHuh? Never mentioned anything like that in the game.
>>56580192Wtf is there a portrait for her?
>>56580143>Iris' bio implying the Pokemon version of the Middle East is teeming with dragon types
>>56580143I've only seen a few of these leaks like picrel can someone post the rest or link it?
>>56580143How does one tell if Lenora is half British? Couldn't they just say she was just an African?
>>56580200He has an ancestor in PLA which is set in a Japanese region so it would make sense he is Japanese too. He probably moved to Unova to develop his mining tycoon business
>>56580143>Drayden is GermanCORRECTION: HULK HOGAN
>>56580143I missed Gen V black designs before the lips
>>56580335>drayton has been a thing in concept since BW>but not laceyodd
>>56580204There was this sprite, which might be Skyla? Doesn't quite match the overworld sprite
>>56580143>Clay is a westabo
>>56580143Come to think of it, didn't all of the trainers in Elesa's Gym have French names?
>>56580143smug gym leaders
>>56580231>Johnny Depp>Burgh??????
>>56580143>Iris was Arab all alongNot even upset, she's still adorable.
>>56580192much worse
>>56580220Altaria is based off a Arab mythical creature. Probably lives in Poke-Levant though.
>>56580566She doesn't even look Arab to begin with and her final design just abandons the dresses they asked the designer to put on her.
>>56580143>Brycen is supposed to be Bruce Lee>also an actor
Clay is that Kenichi Smith shitpost.
>>56580143>Brycen is ChinesePokéChina keeps on getting reps.
>>56580143Are there no native Unovans living in Unova?
>>56580566There's other countries in the middle east besides Saudi Arabia. She could be Egyptian.
>>56580687Just like real life
>>56580484>originally Sky Candice
>>56580687Alder
>>56580701I doubt she's a copt anon.
>>56580687Team Plasma.
>>56580657>Chinese actor popular in AmericaMakes sense
Considering that Warsman was one of the main influences for Brycen (at least initially), it seems like he was originally going to wear a mask that covered his entire face
I love my middle eastern wife
>>56580186A Wayans
>>56580143not IS, were once imagined as, these shits are not canon, they are design docs, which if you didn't notice changed multiple times over. it is very clear many of these changed. stop being retarded.
Clay being Japanese is consistent with his ancestor being a Hisuian.Bravo gamefreak.
>>56580200we knew about it for yearshttps://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-4/Ohmura: “Designing this character was incredibly difficult. First of all, he’s a tycoon and president of a mining company. And he’s also based on people of Japanese descent who live outside of Japan — we’ve heard about the kind of people who move abroad, and are out chasing the American Dream. In thinking about these pioneering types, we decided on Clay’s old-fashioned western outfit. During Black & White’s development, there was talk about giving all the Gym Leaders different body types — so in contrast to Elesa, we narrowed the shoulders and made Clay short, stout, and kind of rotund. He’s a company president, but he’s not the kind of guy who’s always sitting at his desk — rather, there was a specification for him to be the type of guy that doesn’t delegate things he can do himself. We also gave him a cellphone and other things to hold, to give the impression he’s a pretty busy guy.”
>>56580948>Although Skyla’s a pilot, her outfit still has traces of her early designs when she was going to be a slightly sexy young girl.HOLY SHIT IT'S TRUE
>>56580260She's probably Caribbean.
>>56580865>>56580566Since Drayden is her grandfather that makes her like what, 1/4th german?
>>56580143>region based on NEW YOAHK>has the most number of immigrants and immigrant descentSounds about right.
>>56581116She's not his biological grand daughter
>>56580942Hisui hadn't even being made yet at that point.
>>56581191Not Shanghai?
>>56581116They're not biologically related. If I'm remembering right he basically says he adopted her.
>theres probably a canon hasidic ghetto in Unova
Is Leon also middle eastern?
They should have all been ethnically American obviously (Indigenous)
>>56581418>Galar = UKPakistani or just Desi in general
>>56580143Why the fuck you care so much about fictional characters nationality when the pokemon world doesn't have real life countries?
>>56580143>Four (technically six) of Unova's gym leaders are based on places that have since gotten full regions>The remaining four haven't Hmmmmm>
>>56581473It's fun. Ever heard of it?
>>56581558i always feel bad for you guys because you were happier in a pre-twitter world
>>56581571Poke China...
>>56581573It's not, it all degrades into racism shitposting.
>>56581473pokemon world doesn't have real life countries?
>>56581883Already retconned just like they retconned the raichu entry about being able to knock out an indian elephant to be able to knock that elephant pokemon from SWSH...which is bullshit because that elephant is steel type.
>Elesa is Kal*sianNo...
>>56581947Wait, I had a braifart and mistook that electric resist steel for steel resisting electric so Raichu could beat that steel elephant after all.
>>56580143>They are British because they are gentlemen>She is African because she's black and masculine>She's French because she' blonde, tall and pretty>He is Japanese because he is hardworking and adapts easily>She is Latina because she is brown, extroverted and wears skimpy clothes>He is Chinese because he knows martial arts and plays villains in movies>He is German because he is stern and competent>She is Middle Eastern because she is brown and wears colorful clothes
>>56580143Unova was literally whiter than 2010 America, all you fucking saw was white NPCs al lover the place instead of brown and blacks in the cities
>>56580192It would be red head genocide, but this is kinda the inverse.Definitely more kid-like in that design.
>>56582119Holy shit, why the fuck matters what "Nationality" a "fictional character" has when their universe doesn't have real life countries? Are you gonna stop likong a character because they are from a "real country I don't like"? That is fucking retarded.
>>56582199I was just making a PokeSpe joke cause there Kalosians are basically the most evil people in the Manga
>Iris>131cm>42kgIs this IMAGINE tier?
>>56582236Well fuck you for your retarded censoring of the world "kalosian" which, making me fail to see you are talking about Kanto and thing you are referring to a real life place.
>>56582285It's like 4'3-4'4 so yeah.
>>56580335>over 2m tallDayum
>PokeSpe had Ruby (Brendan) often wearing sewing glasses>These leaks reveal that May needs reading glassesOnce again, Kusaka's Celebi betrayed him when it comes to Hoenn
>>56582308>t.Kal*sianOui, oui to you too my bagel.
>Hachiku>Wears kimono>ChineseHuh... Unless it's supposed to be hanfu.But I think all of these should be taken with a huge grain of salt, I mean, Lenora's reference images were of biracial women and she doesn't look like that in the final. All of these were early ideas and most of the characters don't even have names fitting their origin in the original Japanese version so who knows how canon it still is.
>>56580231> Jim Leader
>>56580192dios mio
>>56582151How fucking dumb do you have to be make a post like this
>>56582622It's pretty obvious that Brycen is based on Bruce Lee even without that character sheet leak.
>>56582119French just means shes white you moron shes not actually from Kalos.
>>56582570Does Sapphire's personality and appearance before being traumatized by Salamence not line up with what we know about the Gen 3 female avatar now?
>>56580186A white chick making her way downtown.
>>56582151>She's French because she' blonde, tall and prettySo.. she should be Swedish ?
>>56580143What about the E4 or the rivals? Like Cheren and Hugh look Asian. What about the Submas? I heard a theory a few years ago that Team Plasma has masonic influences and Ghetsis is based on Baphomet
beta elesa owes me sex.
>>56580484It looks to be an edit of Clair's HGSS sprite. Interesting since Skyla was supposed to be the eighth Gym Leader and a Dragon-type user.
>>56582771I don't know if Japan knows enough about Swedish stereotypes to know that's meant to be a thing.
>>56582839She reminds me a lot of Kidd from the Lucario movie.
>>56582667It's how Japan views other countries, similar tropes to Hetalia and other Anime, the creator of One Piece did something similar>>56582771Yeah the only thing missing is that she's a good cook
>>56582771Isn't that what spics think? The swedish stereotype almost everywhere else is IKEA, gay men and bad meatballs.
>>56580231HaveSomeFun__RandomFromBoxEnt\WB\WB\ That directory has 5 documents named WBジムリーダー設定. One an RTF, One an xls, and three word docsEach have a Japanese style date code Year/Month/Day and show character concepts as they were developed.Skyla and Iris had the most changes. She's also supposed to be native American but they seemingly were told "no don't do a fucking feather headdress" by someone.
>>56582829Seeing the beta version makes the 15 years old thing make more sense.
>>56582847>>56582884Nami from One Piece is Swedish for example
>>56582904Maybe Elesa isn't gay lol no I think fashion is more associated with France like luxury lables and Sweden has low quality stuff such as H&M
>>56582917There's a document dated September 1st that has Elesa as 17, but then the document dated November 19 has her age 15Skyla goes from being age 22 Gym 8 dragon leader to Pilot Oneesan age 18Iris goes from 12 year old Flying leader to 10 year old Dragon leader. (with Dreyden being added for version differences)
I feel like you guys aren't really understanding what a "concept" is
>>56583026Nope, they don't, all twitter is losing their shit over that "pokemon universe creation", the concepts of "draft", "planning phrase", "never made into the final product" are completely alien to them.
>>56580335>inspired by the Hulksterdimes brother HH
>>56583026Aw come on it's fun to see how they made up the characters liek it doesn't automatically mean Elesa is from Kalos or Surge is from Unova
>>56580192stop posting your shitty fake, faggot
>>56580260she Jamaican mon
>>56580143>Diversity Gross.
>>56580505Holy shit anon you're right. only in B2W2 tho
>>56580143Skyla is latina...
>>56580143>british>cuisineF for the Italians having a fag as a rep instead of some NYC art kike
Skyla is a big booty Latina
If I had a nickel for every sexy videogame girl that turned out to be based on Jennifer Lopez that I know I'd have two nickels
>>56584031Hispanic. Latina is a piece of shit created by the French to include themselves.
>>56580687Dennis. Speaking of, are there leaks related to Ghetsis yet? I must know the design philosophy there.
>>56580335I see three people he is based on, the funny wrestle man was just used for his body build inspiration.
>>56582965That's what I mean, like everytime I've seen people say the Swedes or Brits are hot it's always a fucking Mexican behind the post.
>Burgh is straightBiggest surprise in the leaks
>>56583017>There's a document dated September 1st that has Elesa as 17, but then the document dated November 19 has her age 15>Skyla goes from being age 22 Gym 8 dragon leader to Pilot Oneesan age 18Genuine question for weaboos, why the fuck are the Japanese like this? Why are they so scared of being 20 when every other 1st world country thinks it's the best time of your life?I know their lives are over once they graduate high school but sweet Jesus.
>>56580143>HispanicThat isn't a nationality
>>56580143>Clay is a nip larping as a southern style kentucky fried cowboyFucking pathetic Unova is full of posers and fakers, burn that region to the ground
>>56583026Some stuff still seems to be implied in the games, like all of Elesa's Gym Trainers having French names in B2W2 or Skyla being mentioned to have a connection to Lentimas Town.
>>56580186Californian
>>56581116He's housing her like an exotic pet, she's arab/egyptian from a feral tribe with no blood relation to Chaden
>>56582916Feather Headdress would've been cliche, even back then, so it's understandable that they skipped it.
>>56580507Karen looks pissed off
>>56581473>>56581719>>56582199Seething autist fuck off
>>56582904Literally the entire world 's stereotypical view os Swedes is that they are Blonde and tall
>>56580231>Vincent Gallokek now I'm imagining Burgh playing his role in Buffalo 66'
>>56582641With the way the text is squished and stretched, it should be machine translation on top of japanese text. Jim and Gym in japanese should use the same Katakana so it went with Jim because common names are used more often than the word Gym. The way it shows how he refers to himself and to a group (the 1-person, 2 person thing) also lends credence to the text being originally in japanese because they all use different personal pronouns there. His is probably just watashi.
>>56580143>lenora is half africanwell obvious->clay is fully Japanese nigga what
>>56580143>Clay>JapaneseOnly GF are stupid enough to come to that conclusion.
>>56585056In japan when you turn 20 you're "hatachi", it's the only age not referred to as "I'm (number) years old", it's a specific word to refer to being 20 years old. It refers to the age when you essentially become a full adult with adult responsibilities. You're meant to drop all childish things, buckle up, put on that suit and tie and say "ohaiou gozaimasu" to Tanakastein-San with a great big smile and thank him for the opportunity to work at the kaisha.That's why they fear the 20 years of age.
>>56588566>>56588627He's a Japanese man who went to the USA to go for the American Dream and then went native wen he became succesful
>>56588627>>56588566>u mad whito bois?
>>56582917She also looks a bit shorter
I LOVE LENORA'S [voluminous buttocks]
>>56580143>Brycen is chinkNo wonder he got fired from being a gym leader
>>56590162what?
>>56588566>>56588627They said ages ago that he was based on a Japanese businessman who migrated to Japan. That's been a factoid about him since fucking forever.
where's the design docs for the sinnoh gym leaders?
>>56582151>Hes Italian because he’s gay.
>>56590422I don't think there's any from Gen 3 either
>>56585056The concept of culture is truly alien to americans huh
>>56580143I always figured the triplets would be french given how autistic french are about food
>>56590461He's straight, actually
