And this is the first, of what I hope to be, many more pics based upon Izumi's new delicious brown character design.

She isn't black. Brown skin is a feature shared by many ethnicities

Firstly, anime designs are usually made for the characters to be Japanese, regardless of their appearance. But because cartoons are not very realistic in appearance, what ends up happening is called cultural projection -- people see whatever they want, based on where they were raised.

To Japanese people, team aqua looks Japanese. To Americans, they can look Mexican.

Team Aqua might not be black since you can clearly see a team aqua tanline symbol on his chest. They might also be South Asian. They might just be Japanese. Or even white dudes with a tan.


It's impossible to tell, so just don't debate it.

Gamefreak always draws tans like this.

Just look at Marlon. Everybody thought he was black until we saw his feet which are white.

idiots they are from the middle east because the trio beast are based from over thier and also anime characters imo are loosely based off of japs overall (big eyes,curvy/built bodies and for the most part are extremely extroverted)
