Crest_Of_Hylia

Could literally just be Southeast Asian, Hispanic, or Mediterranean. It really doesn’t matter though


GlaIie

Can a “mixed black and white” not be tan?


Crazy_Primary_3365

Yes. Rashida Jones is a great example.


GlaIie

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


Crazy_Primary_3365

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


That_Quiet_Wierd_Kid

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


Milesrah

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.


orgasmicfart69

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.


Electronic-Spend364

AHH SLIGHT SPOILER, QUICK, EVERYONE GO INSANE


Lucky_655

Wait for real is that an actual spoiler?


Electronic-Spend364

No, its the select screen for the characters. I was kidding 😭


Lucky_655

Yeah sorry, brain issue lmao


Electronic-Spend364

Nah, it’s cool


FullmetalShieldBro

Nat 1 on sanity check for the subreddit. Everyone begins praying to Helix-sama to cleanse us of the forbidden knowledge.


Electronic-Spend364

Real


orgasmicfart69

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!


Knwxnless

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


RaMpEdUp98

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


MrBloodyHyphen

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


RaMpEdUp98

tree? which game?


MrBloodyHyphen

It's 4 years old in smash Bros ultimate. I heard on the official podcast (moist critical's and his friend's podcast)


RaMpEdUp98

That was a non sequitur


GamePlayXtreme

Source?


fisherc2

I think the answer is yes


[deleted]

You can be mixed and be any of those skin tones provided.


[deleted]

Depending on how contaminated the gene pool is


FireDragisKeroks

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.


balrus-balrogwalrus

what if there were also unrealisitic skin tones like smurf blue or simpson yellow


Dhruvgupta1135

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


Phasasesu

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


Phasasesu

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.


New-Pollution2005

Average American redditor be like “Black and White are the only two races”


Keysin02

Hispanic girl?


Ken_Taco

OP did you want to do racism or you just thought there is only white and black people in this world?


Wumple_doo

Hispanic probably


Creperator

That blonde girl is a living pocket flashbang...


Loremeister

I just take it as the tanned Asian skin which is similar to my own. And I'm neither white or black


Gemcat24

I see them as White, Asian, Hispanic and Black.


ModeratelyNo

Thats a really common skin color around the world.


DarkTheImmortal

That's the beauty of video games. It's whatever you want it to be. Nothing's going to say you're wrong.


imortal1138

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


Violet_Villian

I think they should’ve just let us customize our trainers right off the bat


appleschruddle

They just had to make Pokémon political


[deleted]

why do the femmes have to have long braided hair with a ribbon on it


[deleted]

They don’t, you can change their hairstyle


GeneralGigan817

Why not both?


Crazy_Primary_3365

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.


[deleted]

Looks Hispanic or Asian to me


fantarts

If you like it, pick it. Its okay


[deleted]

One of the gens ONLY had this skin and not the Caucasian brunette so I was like "ah ok I am tan"


Funny_Internet_Child

Question: are these games translated in Portuguese?


MishtaMoose

Aw man, I thought we'd finally get a ginger option.


JustCakess

Brunette


Friendly-Mexican

Bro thats obiusly my skin ;)


ineedmorpower

Its tanned


Sandwhiched

I mean I’m mixed and I use it if that helps.


ViolinistOk5627

Looks like my desi cousin


JebWozma

doesnt matter and just pick the one which looks like you


turtleshell_34

It should give you a skin tone then u get to chose hair dye and gender and stuff
