This. I wish boring, unimaginative people would stop seeing everything in the Pokemon world as direct expies of real life shit. There's some strictly made up shit and shit from other stuff thrown in too, so it's a region all its own.

It's not hawaii, it's Alola in the pokeworld
Also tattoos are related to the mafia in japan, so they will not make a character with tattoo in a E game

>It's not Hawaii, it's Alola
While a valid answer, it's ultimately a flimsy one. You're saying that as if it's wrong to expect an expy of Hawaii to have something more resembling it. After all, Alola isn't a huge continent that just happens to have a Hawaiian theme, is it?

That said, I'm in agreement with this >>32872231. Tribal tattoo may be a bit much for kids.

Double standards much?

Not necessarily. They are produced by different people with different values; what is acceptable by one may not be acceptable by the other.

Kiawe? I haven't seen a good shot of his back, but there is something resembling a tattoo. Definitely not "covered in them" though.

Tattoos in Japan are heavily associated with Yakuza and frowned upon, to the point where some bathhouses won't admit people with tattoos. It's understandable why a Japanese video game company would be uncomfortable with them.

Moana was made by an American company in America, which has less of a stigma regarding tattoos. They also stressed cultural accuracy more than Pokemon.

They are, but they're also revealed to be more like a sticker, being removable and all.
So yeah, still playing it safe.

not saying to not expect to see similarities, but the regions are not identical to the real world counterpart. It's a fantasy world after all.

Fair enough. I'm just saying that for those who call others "boring" and "unimaginative" just because they have a different design choices in mind.

That's actually part of the necklace. Character design sheet shows how it drapes on his shoulders.
