Care to explain how Gen5 was the beginning of DEI?

It's from an old (2011) Nintendo Dream interview where Ohmura said that talks during Black & White's development mentioned a focus on adding a "multinational and multiracial" vibe to the games.
Ohmura: “If I was going to sum up Lenora with just a few words, I’d say she’s a mother with a lot of spirit. There was talk during Black & White’s development about wanting to focus on the inclusion of a multinational and multiracial vibe. So with that in mind, we came up with this black woman, and we’d received orders that she should have a strong sort of body type and some motherly qualities. So we added the apron when thinking about this motherly concept, but actually, the apron made Lenora give off the impression that she was just an average mom. So because she works as the head of the Nacrene Museum, discovering fossils and stuff like that, we tried incorporating elements of a kind of ‘work apron’ that could be useful in dealing with such a wild kind of job. We hadn’t had a Gym Leader that wears an apron before, so we figured that was another good reason to have Lenora wearing one.”

I mean it makes sense tbh, the US is a melting pot of different people of different races, NY being a big-ass city only furthers the point. At the time I wager it was implanted more or less as an honest premise.

We had not one, but two niggers running an gym. Normally, it's kind of innocuous until you consider how she's the only one who got an minor redesign without having an in-universe excuse.

The rest of it, is just devs grasping at straws until they have enough to create an new region or something. But Unova is when the series stopped being "based on an specific area of Japan" and where they've slowly worked the multiculturalism angle until we suddenly get the androgynous NPC models in Scarlet & Violet that some of you have complained about. But it's too early for me to say that the next one would be even more woke; since, you know, this is mainly just two instances of it. And we've also got an larger number of games where shit didn't happen.

That's why I (personally) would let it slide. Even before DEI, NY always had a lot of blacks.

And then people immediately started crying that she was wearing an apron because muh slavery (rather than the fact that she's both a strong wife and an archaeologist)

That sounds too retarded to be true, but you're right, I looked it up

Jesus, even back then in 2011 people online were fucking retarded
 
The next Pokemon Go season is already bad, and it didn't even start yet.. Rayquaza is now an elite raid, which means you have to travel to wherever the fuck the raid going to be held, and they still haven't fixed the raid boss/rocket bug (you better pray to God you find competent people to do an elite raid with and you don't get the catch bug during the event). Oh yea, you only get 2 opportunities to get it, so you're fucked if you miss out and aren't in places like New York. Last year, Rayquaza wasn't an elite raid from what I heard. There's also a lot of recycled shit this month. Niantic just took 2 Mega raids we had this month (Gyrados and Alakazam), and put them in June's cycle with Charizard Y and Mega Tyranitar. One spotlight Pokemon was already featured months ago (Roggenrola). It's like they don't even care anymore.

I looked into the reviews for the new anime, and it seems like a lot of people aren't happy with it. People who got over Ash aren't digging the episodes nor the new main characters Liko and Roy (the villains also suck according to some reviewers that aren't soyjak reddit shills). Only the soyjak fanboys are liking Horizons.

SV is pretty woke just from Penny (evil bitch who gets rewards and praise) and Arven (treated like a retard, gets pissed on throughout the game). It also shoved "Diversity" in your face with shitty Mo1st references.

I've said it before and I will say it again: Arven deserved a better game.

bruh

That is the United States. African Americans are the biggest minority 'of colour' there. There is not just Lenora nd Marloe, but also Marshall, the Dancers, and the basketball players and others I might have missed.

Yeah, I was gonna say that this "diversity" approach was more or less a genuine one considering the time frame when Gen V came out. The only thing that feels like it was a bit niggly was the whole thing about Lenora looking like a Mammy stereotype before editing came in.

Funnily enough Marlon technically doesn't count as one, it's actually a really deep (and somewhat bad) tan considering he's light-skinned below the waist.

But you did skip out on mentioning Iris and, to a certain extent, Drayden.

...I knew that Marlon was not right! I knew that he was not melanin-abundant, but I had not played Gen V in so long; I forgot Iris and thought hat he second leader wa supposed to be Marlon.

It's probably just a JP version thing, but he speaks with a stereotypical Hakata accent. Hakata is a district in Fukuoka prefecture, which in the Pokemon world will be somewhere around Rustboro city in Hoenn.

IIRC he speaks in a dialect that makes you think surfer/beach bum in the English version.

I want to think people are smart enough to understand that spending sufficient time on the beach (or coastal areas in general) while the sun is out full-blast will lead to you developing a decent tan…

…but we all know that we live in Clown World, people will complain about it given enough time.

He was in a good game. Then they ruined him by releasing the Ultra Versions, as they did everyone else.

I'd started to believe that the Ultra versions were actually not intended to be released as new, full-priced games, but as cheaper DLC (about 15-20 bucks) featuring all of the new bits and bobs as post-game content, as well as the other additions to the regional Alola dex and the move tutor/Mantine Surfing. The latter 2 would be available in the game even without DLC, therefore giving it new blood.

But that didn't happen as TPC weren't so keen on DLC at the time since they skipped out on Gen 6's "definitive edition" and wanted to see if they could do the BW2 formula, so they were forced to be updated with a butchered story shoehorning in the post-game content and pretending its a "alternate universe" while also charging 40 bucks for what is essentially the same game but a bit worse.

That's my other gripe with Gen6

>Hey, you know that snake dragon thing? yea turns out he can become a transformer if you collect enough of his cells roaming around the place!
Oh shit fucking sweet! How can we get him?
<IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT REGION IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GENERATION

Yeah, I bet that was a concept for Pokemon Z...we'll call it that. You know you failed as a generation when the anime did it better than the games. Let's only pray PLZA doesn't butcher Zygarde since it seems to be important with the logo and all.

If I was making it, I’d tie Zygarde Completion to main story and sude quest so every important action gives you bits but it is far less frustrating than Gen 7 made it.
