The brand was so scared of being viewed as racist after the Jynx controversy, so scared of there being genuine grounds for the franchise being banned in the west once it became a victim of Satanic Panic, that the anime got rid of Brock for the Orange Islands SPECIFICALLY DUE TO THE WEST and replaced him with the boring, safe and inoffensive Tracey, fearing Americans would be offended by Brock's character on behalf of chinks, spics and niggers and have greater grounds to try and ban the franchise.
