I remember reading somewhere that Brock was going to be scrapped because they were afraid [black] Americans would be offended by him (idk maybe his personality), but they kept him after he got a lot of positive feedback from fans. I don't remember where I saw this. Has anyone else heard this? Has his race ever been confirmed?
If not, Brock speculation

First off, he's not black, he's Okinawan. Secondly, nobody in Japan gave a shit about what might possibly offend blacks, seeing as how the ganguro Jynx looked rather close to black face.
You're an idiot, OP.
>>25686631
You read wrong.
They thought AMERICANS wouldn't find him appealing because of his eyes.

AMERICANS GET OFFENDED!!!
AMERICANS GOT OFFENDED ABOUT JYNX
SO GAMEFREAK FEARED AME-RI-CANS GET OFFENDED BY BROCK
GEEZ CANT YOU READ

Brock was around way before the Jynx shit started. And even still, they would never scrap him for the anime. Jynx was only changed in Asia in gen 3/4.
You type like an underaged, and you provide no source. Fuck off to gamefaqs or serebii.

Nintendo FEARED AFTER JYNX that he gets lynched. So they removed him but when fans wanted him back they added him back.

It was both because of hes black skin and asian eyes.
>>25687446
Nobody in Japan gave a fuck if some nigs in America were offended, what about that aren't you understanding? Please provide a source.

>Okinawan
What are you talking about?
He is a Pewternite from Pewter City
>>25687485
>Nobody gave shit
Nintendo gave shit about Americans that why Jynx is now purple, porygon will never appear in the anime, Kadabra will never have an TCG and game corner will never come back.
>>25686631
You're giving people too little credit. I don't think too many people mistook Brock for being Black, and even if they did he's not a bad character by any means.
>>25687485
What are you talking about? Jynx was able to cause enough of a stir to get its skin color changed.
>>25687334
I didn't say he was. I was just asking.
Do you have proof he's Okinawan?
>>25687462
Japanese people and by extension Asian people can be sunbaked like that. That isn't the problem.
>>25687531
>Game Corner
That was the Europeans fault.
>>25687531
Porygon did nothing though, it was actually Pikachu
