REMINDER: Kasumi ("Misty"), Haruka ("May"), and Hikari ("Dawn") are Japanese. Kasumi is from Tochigi Prefecture (Cerulean City is based on Utsunomiya City in Tochigi Prefecture which is in northern Kanto), Haruka is from Saga prefecture in the Kyushu region which Hoenn is based on, and Hikari is from Hokkaido. People from these areas are not white.>But they're designed to look whiteThey're not, you just think they look white because of a concept known as the "default person", where looking at stylized drawings of people, like stick figures for instance, you perceive them as whatever you view the default person to be unless stereotypical details are added to make them stand out as a group you match those stereotypes with.They're Japanese, which is also why they're the cutest Pokemon girls ever made. Cry about it.Obligatory AI slop disclaimer.
As if that doesn't make me want to inseminate them even harder.
>>58940043You have good taste, don't go to the PokeMart tomorrow.
>>58939992No shit, the first 4 Pokémon regions (Kanto, Joutoh, Hoenn, Shinnoh) are based off of Japan, with KitaKami being the latest edition (Hisui is basically victorian Shinnoh). Hell, it was made by Japanese Developers. Are you trying to fucking enrage Crackers of /VP/?
>>58940057And yet large swaths of Pokemon "fans" think that they're all white. Hell, tons of "people" will die on a hill arguing that Takeshi is black.
>>58940043Too bad, Japanese women hate brown people so your chance of getting laid with them is 0.00%>B-but i will rapeTheir Pokemon will maul you to death before you reach them
>>58940089So stop being brown. Kys and respawn as something else.

People read anime characters as white because of the diversity in hair and eye colours, which tends to make them resemble Europeans more than Asian. A red head with green eyes might be wacky fantastical character design in Japan, but most westerners will have actually met someone who looks like that and make the natural assumption about her race
>>58939992>they're designed to look white>They're notThen why don't any of them have slant eyes?
>>58940230>because of the diversity in hair and eye colours, which tends to make them resemble Europeans more than AsianTell me more about all of the Europeans with natural pink/purple/blue/green/silver/red hair.>A red headThat's not red. Are you color blind?>most westerners will have actually met someone who looks like thatThe fat lesbian with blue hair from your high school doesn't naturally have blue hair you absolute retard.>>58940233Because Japanese people don't have slant eyes. That stereotype comes from south and central asia. Japanese people have almond eyes which is the shape that anime eyes are based on.
>>58939992NO ONE CARES, NERD!
>>58940545Clearly you do since you're seething about it.
>>58940406>Tell me more about all of the Europeans with natural [...] red hair.The Scottish?
>>58939992>Haruka is from Saga prefecture in the Kyushu region which Hoenn is based onOnly if she's not the player character. If she is, she's instead from Johto without any specification of where in Johto. It could be anywhere in Kansai for all I know.
Hoenn is the one that got PokeNuked by Unova right?
>>58940851Yeah, Slateport City is located where Nagasaki is irl, so that would be the city that got nuked by the Castelia Project
>>58939992>they're japanese
>>58939992Hapa ahh islander slut
>>58940816Kansai is still Japan.>>58940851>>58940877The franchise itself also got nuked by Unova because that's when it started going down hill. Notably, it's when Pokemon wasn't allowed to be Japanese anymore and they started washing out all of the Japanese stuff for muh global audience.>>58940987AND THEY'RE CUTE ARCEUS DAMNIT>>58941068speak English
>>58940230>People read anime characters as whiteNo, westerners do. Nips very much read them as Japanese.
