Protags are 17. It was revealed in the Looker episode. Emma is 1 year younger than the protag

>>28102844
At least Shauna wanted your dick if you were a boy.

>>28102844
I thought they were trying to force Calem x Shauna. Idk why they opted out of something for the female mc, though.

>>28102844
Except they were doing the romance with Shauna in the games or are you just mad that game Serena friend zoned you while anime Serena wants Ash's dick?

I guess the trick for a successful ship is to have two characters who show absolutely zero romantic interest in one another like Calem x Serena?

>>28106638
Or they could have just wrote a good romance with shitna if that's what they wanted lmao

there's a reason it's so unpopular, the art doesn't lie

The reason is that Japan doesn't like brown girls and the West finds her young appearance and demeanor creepy.

>>28102844
Reminder that BASED Shauna got the dick

>>28106980
Anime is fucking weird
Why is it popular?

>>28102844
Girls can get friendzoned also

>>28106945
That's pretty cute desu

Pretty much every society is obsessed with light skin to the point where the women will bleach and damage their skin to lighten it except for white societies where white women try to look brown.

>>28107084
Really? Not that its not possible people are stupid but do you have prof of that.

>>28107102

This was about as romantic as it will get for Pokemon.
Also fuck off for thinking love needs to be in every movie, every game, and everything.
You kids are so fucking brainwashed you think having a significant other is the final answer to life.

>>28107203
Who cares everyone is doing now since it "cool".

Light Skin has always been coveted. Hell there is a known split in the African American community about "Light Skinned" blacks having it easier than dark skinned blacks. Stating that people find them more appealing and such.

Just look into the skin bleaching industry and how much money they rake in from self-hate.

>>28107156
people want to look exotic because humans are hardwired to enjoy diversity (genetical diversity is an evolutionary advantage, ALWAYS PERIOD)

>>28107239
If this was actually true then brown girls would be lining up to fuck white dudes but instead they're just sort of left alone to jerk themselves to death over anime waifus along with asian guys

>>28107232
Holy shit
she looks better on the left. Her new appearance makes her look like a bimbo.

>>28107228
>>28107232
Damn that's kind of sad.
>>28107239
I doupt that, if that where true black woman would be more popular in the eyes of white/Asian men and vise versa for woman.

>>28107334

Well I mean you're comparing animal instincts with human rationalization.

You could argue that through media and culture, people have been taught to not like black skin. But if you removed that, just plain physical differences like skin color could make 1 human more desirable as a mate than another.

>>28107334
Well, white women are currently flocking to black dudes while the porn industry rakes in the cash from cuck vids. There are a ton of white women where I live pushing around their half-black children in strollers (usually alone with no dad in sight lel) but yeah I don't really see much racial mixing outside of that particular pairing honestly

>>28107303
>brown girls would be lining up to fuck white dudes
hmm, but they are

ever been overseas?

>>28107385
I guess that's true usually different looking woman do look better than the same old bland ones around you.

>>28106980
You're really taking this scene out of context. Not the context of the anime, but the cultural context. Those girls are intended to represent "ganguro" girls, a fashion movement generally associated with rebellion, delinquency and general unsavory behavior. The dark skin tones are usually just cheap tans, often accompanied by garish make-up.

It would be like if the two girls were dressed as typical punk rock types, mohawks, chewing gum etc. and were magically turned into upstanding well behaved citizens.

>>28107417
I have, and I haven't really seen it. At least not in legit relationships. You'll have some instances where white guys purchase mail-order brides, or some woman "falls in love" with some white guy to ease the process of getting a green card when they go back overseas together but outside of that not really, no. White dudes are pretty much becoming like asian men where you rarely see them with anyone outside of their own race, if you even see them dating at all.

>>28107387
I wonder why its like that.
Those poor kids are going to grow up without a father figure that really sucks. I hope they will end up better with their own kids in the future.

>>28107435
>Those girls are intended to represent "ganguro" girls, a fashion movement generally associated with rebellion, delinquency and general unsavory behavior.

Exactly, hence the dark skin. It's viewed as ugly in Japan and pretty much all of Asia for that matter, and that's why it's rebellious for girls to have super-dark tanned skin.

Its almost like japan hates changes and things outside theirs own special club.

>>28102844
Why would I want to be lovers with a trainer who could barely assault a baby

So no one else dated in middle school? I didn't lose it till freshman year of high school but my brothers lost it in 7th grade.

>>28107553
Where do you think you are?

it's viewed as masculine, not far different from the west. asians like girls that are super feminine generally

>>28107487
Are Japanese people super racist against anyone that's not Japanese or European.

>>28107196
There's some NPC kids that say you're to old to hang with them or something, where Emma is just fine around them if I recall.

So they have to be at least a year older.

They're a very insular country. They are clearly generally fascinated with European culture but to them it's sort of like how people are fascinated by exotic zoo animals. Don't fall for the meme that they love white people on a personal level.

japs have an aversion to most outsiders especially white people. there's a bit of morbid curiosity or some warped idea of the culture but generally don't want to be around them. like any culture. multiculturalism was a mistake

So why does every kpop star try and look like a white swag fag?

>>28107690

it's manly

>>28107677
Pretty much this. White people visiting Japan read into the fact that Japanese people will sometimes want to take pictures with these strange white tourists as though it's out of affection and not the novelty of this visiting outsider.

Actually manage to immigrate to Japan and dare consider yourself a Japanese citizen and watch how fast those same people will turn on you.

>>28107702
Because it makes them appear as a spectacle.
Those kind of people aren't trying to integrate quietly into society, they are trying to appear exotic and exciting for publicity's sake.

>>28107196
Looker says it.

>>28107663
Weird
why do people love and obsess over them again?

>>28107221
Says the lonely, asexual manchild...

>>28107702
Because they like the aesthetic, basically. It's like how you might find for example some black woman with a chip on her shoulder ragging on white people and white supremacy/privilege etc but she'll be using skin whitening products and straight hair/weave.

>>28107745
Cultural appropriation

>>28107732
Because they think the actual real-life country of Japan is just like their Japanese animes and/or are unaware of the massive disconnect between how Japan treats tourists and how they treat migrants.

stop appropriating white culture

>>28107719
At less these guys are small and frail compare to other populations on earth. You wont really get jump on the street easily.

>>28107766
At less japanese video game companies like nintendo are nicer since its bad to be racist with a worldwide empirer.

>>28106980
Pale skin just looks prettier and cleaner and it's even better if you have features to pull it off like Dovima or asian celebs like Nakama Yukie and Kim Tae Hee.

>>28107766

that's overly cynical but you really need to understand as close as possible to how they think

>>28107822
I doubt that of course famous people will look very pretty but look at country folk they are not that clean looking. I've seen some pretty black girls that looked better than white or Asian girls.

I never understood the whole asians are yellow thing. Last time i checked they range from pale like white people to brown like hispanics. If you have yellow skin dont you have a kidney problem?

>>28107702
Speaking of Kpop stars that relates to this dark skin topic

Japan are nice about tans since people like Namie Amuro gained popularity and changed the beauty standard a bit but it's not seen as a nice thing in most east asian countries.

>>28107732
The hilarious thing about it is when really liberal white people will find this out the hard way and try and grapple with the fact that this non-white society is so shamelessly and openly racist toward outsiders with no real motivation to change their ways. "Yeah it's kind of bad, but... it's, like, their culture, and we should respect it, maybe..."

Fuck that micro-aggression bullshit you're arguing about in the West, Japanese fathers will flat-out tell you to your face that they don't want a white person anywhere near their daughter and they won't lose a bit of sleep over your hurt feelings. I just wonder how long it'll be before the multiculturalism shit will start spreading over there given the population crisis and the likely need to start importing refugees and such. It's not gonna be pretty and they're pretty much dragging that process out as long as they reasonably can in the hopes of the situation fixing itself.

>>28107892
There are lots of beautiful black celebs (Liya Kebede and Halle Berry for example) but I personally feel they would look better if they were pale.

>>28107927

are you mad whites aren't as apologetic towards blacks or what

>>28107963
I don't know how you managed to get that from that post. I'm just amused by the inevitable culture shock.

>>28107956
Beauty is really up to the individual what you hate someone else will love. I think the problem come when your being force to love or hate something.

Next your going to tell me the father has pretty much full control over his daughter?

I dont think he's saying to not love anime or other Japanese stuff but to not think japan is this pretty/perfect place.

>>28108039
Yeah I'm not going to fault you for consuming Japanese media, just don't fall into that trap of romanticizing Japanese society like a lot of weebs do. It's pretty cringe-worthy when some white geek pulls the whole "Asian girls LOVE white cock I'd get laid soooo easily there since they worship us" nonsense, especially when they almost definitely wouldn't agree with the sort of black guy who would say the same about white women.

Just separate the fantasy from reality and you're all good senpai.

>>28108105

it's less about fantasy / reality and more about cultural ignorance. japanese are way off about what western culture is actually like especially in older times

>>28102844

Pokémon needs actually romance.

>>28108045
>Next your going to tell me the father has pretty much full control over his daughter?

Japan hasn't been like that since the 80s, the late Ai Iijima hated her parents so much she became rebellious, slept on the street, became a hostess, did porn, became a variety star, and became an icon for many young Japanese girls in the 90s and early 2000s up until her retirement.

Gyaru fashion was also a rejection of traditional ideals for Japanese girls in the past although I think it's dying out in recent years.

>>28108120

>you think having a significant other is the final answer to life.
You say that as if it isn't.

>>28108155
Yeah, women aren't super subservient in Japan but they're also not trying to effectively take over male roles in society like they are in the West. The race thing is more about their general aversion to outsiders than some sort of inherent patriarchial control on a societal level.

>>28108206
Why do they hate outsiders anyway? Are they afraid/jealous of us?

>>28107221
>You kids are so fucking brainwashed you think having a significant other is the final answer to life.

True, If I wanted romance I'd read Nana once it comes off hiatus Pokemon is a game for catching cute Pokemon and going on adventures.

>>28108285
They basically just embrace the base tribal instincts we all have inside of us instead of trying to suppress them by whoring themselves out to every foreign culture they can like Western countries are currently obsessed with doing. I don't think there's anything wrong with nationalism, but it's become quite the dirty word these days in the West. The fact that those countries are steadily on the decline while the East is poised to take over on the world stage tells you all you need to know about which is more effective.
