We're at the point where I can't tell if the racist memers on /vp/ are ironic or not anymore. Which sucks. I don't want here to become /tv/

It's like they're forgetting Pokémon it's a children's game – It's meant to be at least somewhat diverse.
>>
>>26216597
I'd prefer if you'd be able to choose your skin color.

I'm black and I don't want that in a main game. It'll alienate the majority of players.

This, i'm black too and I feel the exact same way.

A black male?
No I wouldn't touch it.

I don't care about the female protagonist. One run through X was with chocolate Serena.

I have been forced to play with a white jap protagonist (which at one instance had white hair) for more than a decade.

Of course I'd play as any other race/color.
>>
>>26216597
I'd drop the series.
>>
>>26217187
>>26217227
Has being able to play as white alienated you?

Also that's bullshit when half the fan base plays as the girl (mainly because the male designs usually suck in my case. Fuck Lucas)
>>
>>26217340
Not really, no. It's never really bothered me.
>>
>>26217366
So why would the reverse? That shit is obviously made up by media producers terrified of change. Not really because racism though. But its constantly proven to be bullshit

I'm afraid to give a serious reply in this thread because any post could be bait

Let me guess -- you're a self-hating white who knows what's good for black better than blacks do themselves? You're the problem, not the racists who just avoid us.

>>
>>26216597

I'm white, and the only problem I have with that idea is that gen 6 introduced different skin colors for trainers and I don't see a reason to remove that.

But if that hadn't happened, I wouldn't really care as long as race didn't play a big role in the game. Not that I "hate black people" or whatever, but I just don't play pokemon for politics.
>>
>>26217680
True. OP doesn't know that Pokemon is like video game dragon ball z for black people. Well, that and smash bros.
>>
You know they are fucking japanese not white.
Why would the japs want to play a black man, even more so than a white mc.
>>
>>26217610
I'm in the US. White and Jewish liberals coddle blacks. They stroke racial tensions constantly -- most recently being BLM (funded by George Soros and perpetuated by white liberals).

>Has being able to play as white alienated you?
No because I understand why MCs are white in majority white countries. Most Japanese 2d characters aren't white, they just lack facial profiling that would give them racial distinction. What's why both Japs and whiteys can go "Wow, those characters look like us!"

OP wants them to go about making a black pokemon trainer as the only choice. A character that is not only racially defined but is also of a minority in the real world. I don't think that's right for a game with mass appeal like Pokemon. Maybe a spinoff but not a main title.

Choosing to play as a female is a bit different. Males naturally relate to other males, men playing as a girl either do it for fun or because they're perverts or have issues or something.
>>
You're all fucking racist troglodytes if you think there's anything wrong with this. Especially in the context of gaming where pretty much everyone has been forced to identify with light skinned characters in the majority of games for almost 3 decades.

But I'm guessing no-one has a problem with that because l o l this is 4chan and being a bottomfeeding sack of shit is encouraged here so whatever.

X and Y let you be black. That's all they need to do.

Most of us probably played as Aryan (if played as male) though, since he was far more stylish than the other two, but still. The option existed.
>>
>>26217949
Its a fucking terrible state we live in where the mass couldn't stand identifying with a black guy to the point where this would even remotely be an issue. Well, I know Nippon is filled with xenophobes.

There aren't many blacks in Japland, and whites & Japs look similar enough to pass for the same in cartoons and games.

Absolutely because I am black
>>
There was a study done once that stated people like people that look more like them, or at least tend to get along better. That's one of the bases for discrimination.

Basically, white people are not going to play as black people because blacks tend to look much different than whites, not just in skin but facial structure, muscle movements, etc. They might play as girls, but white girls are more similar to white men than black men are to white men.

There was also another study done that said blacks and women generally feel pressure to conform to the stereotypes of their race in certain settings - almost a self fulfilling prophecy for racism. Kind of reminds me of Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks - why should black people want to be black, when whites seem so much better?

So no, OP, no one in GF's target demographic would be likely to enjoy that decision. You can argue whether or not that's morally right, but at the end of the day all these guys care about is making maximum profit with little effort.

Next tell me about how diversity means anti-white. That one is always hilarious
>>

>there's a study done that conveniently shows that making characters always white is preferred. I have no sources though.

>>26220900
Yeah, the racist memers also say that though so who knows?

I'm probably just kidding myself though. /tv/'s unironic racism is already spread to the rest of 4chan. Too bad they didn't all fuck off to 8gag
>>
>>26216597
I'd think it was an odd choice after X/Y gave us options.
But who the fuck cares, the only reason to care about trainer design is for the porn.
>>
>>26221128
Humans are naturally racist.

This. All pokemon trainers are complete fuckbois and there is a distinct lack of hentai with black fuckbois right now , so I'm all for it

I'm mixed with black and it not once came to mind that this alienated me.

>>26217511

This is why the only aid they have is Aids.

>>26218036
They could identify with a black character but I don't think it's a good move to make them.
