>>53714829>It's only Pokemon that's doing this (in Japan). No other Japanese media franchise is as big as them.They are one of the biggest so of course they would be the first, the rest will follow
>Don't care, this doesn't affect the quality of the show. Use filters or ignore them.There's really no way to consistently filter them out, especially since they make up 30-40% of any given thread
>Only a small minority of the western audience is going to care what skin color the protagonist has. That's not true though, looking at all media historically and statistics, non-white protagonists being in successful media is a super rare outlier
>Whether or not the show is good will decide when it dies, and with Pokemon as large as it is, that's not a difficult bar to meet.TV ratings of Ash's show have been in freefall for years, replacing it with something that has even less appeal is a terrible idea
