All MCs have canonically japanese names, with the exception of Serena/Calem and Red (and Leaf), Red lives in Kanto (based on the real-world region of Japan) and all the remaining characters from that place are supposed to be japanese (or rather, japanese-like), Lt. Surge is one of the exceptions and games make clear he is a foreigner.
>>32205055>I'm inclined to believe that Hilda and Hilbert are hafu.It's possible.
>>32205056Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are clearly supposed to be homogeneous, just like the real-world Japan. On the other hand, Unova, Kalos and Alola are clearly multicultural melting pots, like the real-world countries of USA and France. You can observe this by the diversity of NPCs.
Daily reminder the people from Team Aqua aren't brown or black, they're the same as the rest of the characters from Hoenn, just tanned (you can even see the tanlines on Ushio/Matt), their darker features are based on the okinawan stereotype.
