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 white
They'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.

You have good taste, don't go to the PokeMart tomorrow.

No 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/?

>>58940057
And 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.

Too bad, Japanese women hate brown people so your chance of getting laid with them is 0.00%
>B-but i will rape
Their Pokemon will maul you to death before you reach them

>>58940089
So stop being brown. Kys and respawn as something else.

This is bullshit. 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

Then why don't any of them have slant eyes?

Tell me more about all of the Europeans with natural pink/purple/blue/green/silver/red hair.
>A red head
That's not red. Are you color blind?
>most westerners will have actually met someone who looks like that
The fat lesbian with blue hair from your high school doesn't naturally have blue hair you absolute retard.
>>58940233
Because 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.

Only 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?
>>
>>58940851
Yeah, Slateport City is located where Nagasaki is irl, so that would be the city that got nuked by the Castelia Project

Kansai is still Japan.
>>58940851
>>58940877
The 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.

No, westerners do. Nips very much read them as Japanese.
