>>47639121The consensus with Nessa is that she is a Maldivian girl, dark skin, slim physique, light eyes (it is not an isolated case, since due to her genetics many Maldivian girls are born with this phenotype) and her location is an archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
People always talk about racism, but to think that only African descent have dark skin is more racist, the world is diverse and we should embrace that.
For those who want a good Afro-descendant character in Pokemon we have Marshall from E4 or Dhalia from BF (with the plus of being an Afro-descendant Latina).
The only complaint I would have is that the Unova games should have had more black characters, but being a version of America seen through the eyes of a Japanese, it is difficult for them to understand the complexity of a heterogeneous population unlike their own highly homogenized country, you should see their faces when they visit France and are in the streets a population mainly African, Muslim, and Indian, believe me seeing Japanese tourists in France is priceless.
