>>30877599The entire region of Alola is based on Hawaii.
All the brown characters in Alola bar Olivia bear strong resemblance with actual Polynesians.
Mallow is meant to look like an exotic generic Hawaiian girl.
Hau is meant to look like the Hawaiian kid from the Japanese trailers
Kukui is obviously not black
Burnet is just tanned
Hala wears traditional Alolan clothing and has an Hawaiian name just like the characters mentioned above (bar burnet).
They are basically 2D Polynesians unless you missed all the cultural references.
>B-but it's just a h-headcannon!If your denial says so. You might as well pretend that these characters are Chinese because according to you, they just happen to be brown because "lol its just random".
