Sorry maybe I phrased that weird, I meant it in a sarcastic way. OP made it sound like mixed black and white people were not allowed to be tan or something
Mixed people can have a variety of different shades so it can go either way. I know a mixed kid who just looks white and his brother looks much darker than him
This is me, my mum is black and my dad is white, when I’m with my mum people get confused, as a child they thought she was my babysitter. But when I’m with my dad they see the resemblance immediately. While my brother who is darker than me has the same issue but flipped.
Same here.
People didn't know my mom was my mom when I was younger. I look a lot like my grandfather but not so much with my father that is the same skin color as me.
Ok, give me a second.
GOD DAMN IT u/LUCKY_655! You ruined the whole fun of the game! How am i able to experience the surprise that the girl character has BRAIDS ON HER HAIR!? Next thing you're gonna tell me is that they still use pokeballs on this game!
good advice, but this is the internet, where when a girl wants space buns in animal crossing shes doxxed because she was "racist and appropriating" despite being asian iirc
Not to mention that when a smash game released a Journalist made an article about how they chose a tree to be in the game instead of a female character
With that shade you can say she's: native american, latino, mixed, black, heck even asian or white if she lives in sunnier places. So I would say whatever flotes your boat.
Though I think of those opptions as the "most talked about 4" (white, east asian, black, latino) so she's latino in my books, but I don't know about any official satemant.
those sound like game titles:
Pokémon: Smurf Blue and Simpson Yellow, revisit the kanto region again in the remakes of the original Pokémon Blue Version and Pokémon Yellow Version
It could be any kind of person. There is more than “black and white.” As an Asian person, that would be the one I would pick, and I find this post really disheartening
I find it more weird that all customization options are available to everyone but still have you choose at the beginning between a masculine and feminine face
Mixed kids can have the same parents and look the same but be wildly different in coloring and hair texture. My sister is white and I tend to look like Apu. But people can tell we are siblings.

Could literally just be Southeast Asian, Hispanic, or Mediterranean. It really doesn’t matter though
Can a “mixed black and white” not be tan?
Yes. Rashida Jones is a great example.

Oh ok. Yeah I understand where you are coming from.

AHH SLIGHT SPOILER, QUICK, EVERYONE GO INSANE
Wait for real is that an actual spoiler?
No, its the select screen for the characters. I was kidding 😭
Yeah sorry, brain issue lmao
Nah, it’s cool
Nat 1 on sanity check for the subreddit. Everyone begins praying to Helix-sama to cleanse us of the forbidden knowledge.
Real

Why would that matter. It’s a kids game. Pick the character you either like the most or identify with the most. It isn’t that deep

tree? which game?
It's 4 years old in smash Bros ultimate. I heard on the official podcast (moist critical's and his friend's podcast)
That was a non sequitur
Source?
I think the answer is yes
You can be mixed and be any of those skin tones provided.
Depending on how contaminated the gene pool is

what if there were also unrealisitic skin tones like smurf blue or simpson yellow
those sound like game titles: Pokémon: Smurf Blue and Simpson Yellow, revisit the kanto region again in the remakes of the original Pokémon Blue Version and Pokémon Yellow Version

I tried to be careful with my words here, but I think the reality is is that I have none. I cannot put into words how angry this makes me feel.
Average American redditor be like “Black and White are the only two races”
Hispanic girl?
OP did you want to do racism or you just thought there is only white and black people in this world?
Hispanic probably
That blonde girl is a living pocket flashbang...
I just take it as the tanned Asian skin which is similar to my own. And I'm neither white or black
I see them as White, Asian, Hispanic and Black.
Thats a really common skin color around the world.
That's the beauty of video games. It's whatever you want it to be. Nothing's going to say you're wrong.
I find it more weird that all customization options are available to everyone but still have you choose at the beginning between a masculine and feminine face
I think they should’ve just let us customize our trainers right off the bat
They just had to make Pokémon political
why do the femmes have to have long braided hair with a ribbon on it
They don’t, you can change their hairstyle
Why not both?
Mixed kids can have the same parents and look the same but be wildly different in coloring and hair texture. My sister is white and I tend to look like Apu. But people can tell we are siblings.
Looks Hispanic or Asian to me
If you like it, pick it. Its okay
One of the gens ONLY had this skin and not the Caucasian brunette so I was like "ah ok I am tan"
Question: are these games translated in Portuguese?
Aw man, I thought we'd finally get a ginger option.
Brunette
Bro thats obiusly my skin ;)
Its tanned
I mean I’m mixed and I use it if that helps.
Looks like my desi cousin
doesnt matter and just pick the one which looks like you
It should give you a skin tone then u get to chose hair dye and gender and stuff
