: You forgot one mention of a race change in Pokemon; Rosie. She had her skin color changed from white to black, just because they introduced other skin tones. I have a feeling you don't play too many side games, but considering you mentioned Aloe, the first real black character, it seems odd you'd leave Rosie's race change out. --[[User:Jonouchi|Jonouchi]] 00:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC) | : You forgot one mention of a race change in Pokemon; Rosie.

Caroline Boston Weatherford
Wikipedia says her name is Carole Boston Weatherford --Crimsonnavy 23:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oops, so it is. Thanks for noticing! George Hutcheon 23:31, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Brown
Does this mean you consider Iris 'ambiguously brown' as well?--Purimpopoie 00:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- At this point, yes! We just don't know enough about her, and her skin tone is about the same as Brock's, to my eyes. I personally believe she's intended to be a non-white/non-Japanese race, but I couldn't prove it. With Aloe, there really is no room for doubt.
- Oh, and most of this article was written before Iris was officially revealed ^_^ George Hutcheon 07:15, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
The new black character revealed in that video's name is アロエ, Aloe, or Aroe, depending on how you translate your "L" and "R." --Oleandervine 07:30, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- You forgot one mention of a race change in Pokemon; Rosie. She had her skin color changed from white to black, just because they introduced other skin tones. I have a feeling you don't play too many side games, but considering you mentioned Aloe, the first real black character, it seems odd you'd leave Rosie's race change out. --Jonouchi 00:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Character races weren't really the subject of this article; I was just giving a very brief overview. Rosie (and Sashay, for that matter) weren't relevant to the discussion because their race wasn't a Japanese decision. The character race thing only came up because I was discussing Japanese representation of other races, and neither of those characters were dark-skinned in the Japanese version.
- Surprised nobody's mentioned Barlow yet. I liked Barlow... George Hutcheon 01:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Mr. Popo
While it certainly is true that Viz's release of the Dragon Ball manga tone down Popo's appearance (by removing his lips), his appearance has never been tampered with in the anime or the majority of other media. I'm aware that I'm being a tad nitpicky here, but still. --Sato 03:52, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Nitpick away! I'm not all that familiar with Dragon Ball, and I wasn't sure to what degree Mr Popo had been edited in different media, so I was being deliberately vague. George Hutcheon 07:15, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- I believe the Nickelodeon version if DBZ Kai didn't change Mr. Popo's skin at all. Then again, Funimation hardly makes any drastic changes like this. --Jonouchi 00:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- As I said, the anime version has never tampered with Mr. Popo's appearance. Although, I do believe that they made his speech much more eloquent in the dub than it is in the Japanese version. --Sato 01:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Misc.
Technically, you could call Pokemon communist - it teaches lessons about working together and caring for one one another in order to strive for a better world where everyone can live peacefully together. This is the original communist idea, not the socialist dictatorships that US politicians tacked the name of communist onto in the 1970-80s. --Oleandervine 07:30, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- They have free healthcare, at the very least. Socialized medicine! Look at me, I'm taking my Corsola before the Death Panel! George Hutcheon 14:08, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
