>>58167267Except the Pokemon world isn't analogous with our world in the truest sense.
Take Hisui for example, where people from all over the world such as Alola, Galar, Hoenn, etc are all gathering in 1800s Japan whereas immigration into Japan didn't take off largely until the 1950s and even then was mostly immigrated to by other Asian ethnic groups.
Viewing the Pokemon world through the lens of "It's just [country] but Pokemon" is a fools errand and this clearly hasn't been the case for some time.
It's fucking weebshit dude, stop thinking about it too hard. Otherwise we have to start scrutinizing designs that are visibly caucasian like Misty who is clearly a white ginger girl from America despite her original name and being a Kanto native.
