She doesn't even look white though. Her skin tone is a normal Japanese skin tone and her hair is supposed to be that orange color that used to be popular in Japan at the time (Japanese girls used to die their hair a shade of brown that turned out looking orange, it was a trend for a long time). Nothing about her looks white.

Explain why Takeshi doesn't have any eyes. It's anime, characters have unnatural eye colors literally all the time and you never question it. When have you ever met someone with red, purple, or pink eyes? How about silver eyes? Yellow? When have you ever met someone with Z's on their cheeks like Satoshi has?
>>59116683
Her eyes aren't round though. They're highly stylized.
>>
>>59116428
Why is she a blue-eyed ginger?
>>
>>59116734
It's not ginger. She bleaches her hair and it comes out orange, it was the trend at the time in Japan. Go watch old videos of Morning Musume or something from that era.
>>
>>59116734
Pokeverse humanity has a rainbow of natural hair and eye colors
Pinks, greens, blues. These are all natural.

Being a blue eyed ginger means fuck all in the Pokeverse. She’s a Jap.
>>
>>59116788
By that logic she is not a Jap, she is whatever she in her world.

You're right and I always forget him when I say that. Surge is literally American, he's called the lightning American. Everyone except for him is Japanese.

Kanto, Johto, Hoen, and Sinnoh are all regions in Japan. Surge is literally called "the lightning American" and the journals in the Pokemon mansion say that they found Mew's DNA in the Amazon. Shut the fuck up.

You really are retarded.

Pic related is Kanto. This is literally Japan btw.

Misty is white and pretty
>>
Jap-tards fighting for their life in the comments lmao.
The reality is that she’s Japanese but looks white (like a lot of anime characters do) because the Japanese are enamoured by white people’s beauty. I still follow one of the exchange students that came to my high school and every single picture on her profile is heavily edited to give her big round eyes. Japanese in general are also known to love hair dye and contact lenses, have skin whitening products and eye lid surgery. This is a widely observed phenomenon; Asians in general find that white people (the good looking ones anyway) represent the highest beauty standard and so try to match it.

It’s quite funny too, given how many white women try to seem Asian these days, and how many white guys actually prefer Asian-looking asian women.

I live in Japan and I can tell you firsthand that they give zero fucks about white people. Japan is super insular and Japanese people think they're the greatest thing in the world. Those things have absolutely nothing to do with white people.
>>
>>59117123
but in anime they all look white and not asian
>>
>>59117150
No they don't. You only perceive them as white due to a psychological concept called The Default Person.

The entirety of modern Japan is modelled after the west. I wouldn’t expect them to be acutely aware of this because, as you say, they’re insular is their thinking. But whether these western influences (mainly aesthetic but that’s the topic of this thread) are apparent to them at any given moment is kind of irrelevant. I wouldn’t expect that it would be, just like how most Americans don’t know the first thing about European culture even if their society was heavily influenced by European values. It’s in the nature of people to be influenced by external factors but remain focused on themselves. Going all the way back to the Romans, even, they were heavily influenced by surrounding culture but your average Roman believed that their culture was wholly in-sourced and natural. It’s a tale as old as time. Hardly changes the facts. Or do you seriously mean to tell me that they dye their hair, whiten their skin, and get eyelid surgery just because they decided that would be neat one day? Don’t be dense.

Anime characters are colored with normal Japanese skin tone. Japanese people call this color "pale orange", it's literally just normal Japanese skin tone. If you look at pic related you will see that these two women have nearly the same skin tone, one is white and the other is Asian (not Japanese). I recommend you look into an art project called Hunanae, a photographer did portraits like these and compared skin tones of people from around the world across all races to illustrate that race is bs and that skin tones vary wildly within all racial groups. The features that we actually use to define race are usually other features and not the skin color.

Anime hair and eye color is pure fantasy, hence characters with green hair, red eyes, etc. Also the characters are highly stylized, if anyone had eyes like that in real life they would literally look like a bug.

You look at these characters and due to the skin tone and hair colors not fitting your stereotypical image of a Japanese person you subconsciously assume it's whatever fits your concept of a default person. In your case, that's white people. But the reality is that Japanese people are drawing Japanese characters who look Japanese and you're just unable to see it.

Adding onto this: skin tone also varies quite wildly among Japanese people. There are no extremely pale people and there are extremely tan people, and that's without any kind of skin treatments (I don't think anyone even does that?). I'm a white guy living in Japan and I regularly meet Japanese people with skin that's lighter than mine, and I've also met people and seen athletes with skin so dark that they could pass for another race. And you see this skin tone variances within Pokemon also. The most obvious example being Takeshi who's extremely tan, Kasumi who has very pale skin, and Satoshi who's somewhere in between those two.

The facial structure is based on cats, not humans.
>>59117198
No, stylized to have the facial structure of cats. White people don't look like that either.
>>
>>59116428
Why would that mean she's not white?
>>
>>59117204
Because she's a Japanese girl from Ibaraki prefecture
>>
>>59117208
?
And where does that fact come from?
>>
>>59117212
In the games she's from Hanada City which on the map appears in northeast Kanto between Saitama prefecture and Ibaraki prefecture.

You could argue that she's from Saitama instead. A lot of fans argue that Hanada City is based on Kasukabe and it's a fair theory so I'm fine with either. But either way, that still makes her Japanese.
>>
>>59117240
>She lives somewhere
>THAT MEANS SHE'S JAPANESE
I lived in Japan for 10 years. I'm not Japanese.
>b-b-but her name
People who move places permanently often change their names to fit in better to their new home, especially in Asia. Doesn't mean a thing in regards to her race.
>>
>>59117245
There is literally nothing in the games to suggest that she came from elsewhere. That is the biggest, nastiest, stinkiest cope that you ever could have pulled out of your ass. Just take the L dude, you know I'm right.

Every third guy in Japan under 40 has his hair dyed either blond, brown or some shit like green. Is it because they want to be white? No, its because they want to stand out in a mass of people where everyone has the same hair colour, around the same height and mostly similar characteristics. Same with Anime. Misty is pretty much 90s Japanese girl core.
