>You cant take the black characters and say "oh theyre obviously asian, but...", especially with no in universe suggestion that their skin is anything other than their natural born skin.Yeah, I'm not saying they're literally Ryukyuan. I'm just saying they're not black, especially because we know how black people look in Pokémon. Team Aqua just looks like a bunch of tanned anime characters.
