>>50775828Not just mere economics, they actually see the correlation between races and prosperity.
>tldr, Japs view pic related in which only countries in red, matters to them. To make this on-topic, only countries on red have the "lottery" for next region candidacy>>50775925It needs drastic, radical change towards GF policies for chances from other countries. Hell, Even US & Europe consider Japan as too radical for G7 standards and persuade Japan to open up. It's only on Tokyo 2020 where Japan start opening it's flood gate
Cynically, I see how GF design Galar with it's "multiculturalism" as the moment they opened up with "diversity wave" (some shitposts said it's Turner who sabotaged GF to be more inclusive). Unova, Kalos have shares of shitskins which reflects NY and France (even those shitskins are still on acceptable level. Alola is skeptically just "all tanned skin due to sunlight"). But it's at Galar where it's all blatantly shilled
Also, I see GF views on picking Spain & Portugal as gen IX "more than enough" to also represent Latam because language similarity
>inb4, Pokéspain will be filled with various spics there. Just like Galar filled with representatives from former Bong colonies>>50775911The thing is, Japs view Spanish and Portuguese as white Europeans who are "permanently tanned" (also because Jap geography class teach Spain and Portugal as inseparable part of Europe, collectively put on the same group as British, French, Germans, Italians. Yet Iberian peninsula is quite stagnant in terms on development edge, and relevancy after age of discovery)
As for piracy, that's the only thing that Japs are salty and seething towards those "non-white, non-japanese, third world shitskins" and could do nothing to stop it (although they are more salty over first worlders who also pirate). It's also the moment where Jap hentai artists/doujinshika start restricting their contents on internet and print obvious "Piracy Warning" in English inside their doujins
