Lana's family is of Chinese origin, which is why they are drawn in a different way, something similar to South Park's Canadians.
>>33012623
No they're 50% Korean, 37.5% Chinese, and 12.5% Female
>>33012623
I-is that Lanna's mom?
>>33012675
*Lana
Jesus FUCKING Christ i'm retarded.

Lucas is canon in Platinum with Piplup as his starter because of this official artwork.
>>33012675
It is. She's extremely popular with the fanartists because the folds in her shirt in that scene made her bust look far bigger than it actually is.
>>33012729
>the folds in her shirt in that scene made her bust look far bigger than it actually is
Now that's some autistic headcanon.
>>33012740
Not your explanation by the way, I mean the fanartists' for thinking she has huge tits
>>33012623
I thought I was the only one.
Also their names for the Japanese version are very Chinese-sounding. Suiren, Hou and Sui.
>>33012729
>>33012749
>requiring an excuse to put huge tits on something
I've seen completely flat characters drawn with J+ size tits, artists don't need a reason other than "FUCK YEAH BIG BOOBS"
>>33012623
There is a bruxish gyotaku painting in their house, so I'm leaning towards Japanese. It's popular relatively speaking in some places in Hawaii due to all the fishing and Japanese influence there. Anyone could do it though, and it's a general fishing thing regardless of race. Plus, this is the anime.
It's at 8:54

Here's the gyotaku stuff itself.

>Gyotaku (pronounced ghio-TA-koo), or fish pr
inting, may have originated in Japan or
China in the early 1800's. Fish prints have been used in Japan for over 100 years to keep
records of fish catches and to learn about
fish biology. This record-keeping technique
became an art form that has spread around the world.
Thanks for the class m8, I did not know anything about this. But investigating a little more, its origin is uncertain.
Some regions' Pokemon were domesticated from other regions. Starters aren't always native to the same region, they are just registered as such due to Pokemon League regulations.
Tepig and Chimchar actually originate from the same region, Komala were brought over to Alola but they're not native to it and Girafirig were said to be brought over from a faraway region to Johto as a peace offering.
>>33012623
Or, yknow, Scott Pilgrim's asians
>>33013069
As well as Gumshoos being imported to Alola to kill Rattata.
>>33012985
Chris memes aside, Sophocles arguably has the most interesting name based on a plant.
>>33013033
Fair enough. The whole it could've come from China angle with all the Japanese stuff makes it kinda confusing. There names do sound kinda Chinese, and they live in Konikoni.
>>33012623
Yeah that's autistic, we already have "Chinese" characters in Pokemon with regular eyes, that's just a different style.
>>33013086
knives, a cute
>>33012623
Lana is Asian, Lillie is white, Ash is dark skinned Japanese, Mallow is a light skinned Pacific Islander or tanned white, Kiawe is Melanesian. Sophocles is ginger, probably American.
>>33013180
anon, dogs not are persons
>>33013225
Pokémon are not Dogs.
>>33013225
Don't reply to me again.
>>33012935
That's a C cup at most
>>33013246
Not really headcanon, but I like to imagine the inspiration for these two was Ranma.
>>33012623
So how come Cilan has the same weird eyes when his brothers don't?
>>33013358
not idea
>>33013585
You're saying PokeTintin is adopted?
>>33013246
>>33012623
They all have widow's peaks
Chinese confirm
>>33014744
>widows peak ends below your eyebrows
>>33013069
Why should Komala be from a different region?
>>33013598
Cilan confirmed ching
>>33012680
whoa dont swear please
Dark-type trainers have a curse where at a certain age their hair turns white and their soul slowly crumbles into nothing. It has affected Nanu and has begun to affect Grimsley. Karen and Sidney will eventually be affected too.
It's also the reason why there are no Dark-type Gym Leaders.
>>33013246
Given where Hoenn is based on, I'd say they're more likely Taiwanese.
And given Taiwan's history of Japanese rule, I'd say Tate and Liza are genetically at least partially Japanese, but culturally Chinese.
>>33014843
Oh Jesus, that's fucking creepy.
Coloured contacts should be made illegal.

Literally 90% of Hex Maniac fanart.
Ultra Beasts are the result of pokemon and humans never diverging from their LCA in their dimension, hence their humanoid, unnatural appearance

>>33016317
doesn't the anime imply that Pokemon are aliens who somehow got transported to earth?
The Desert Resort in Unova isn't a Ground Zero reference; the devs just couldn't think of anything to put between Lower Manhattan (Castelia) and Times Square (Nimbasa) and put in a desert as filler. Apparently Hell's Kitchen wasn't interesting enough for them.
>>33014744
Then Norman is Chinese?
The answer is NO
>>33016281
That will never not piss me off

Could be half or quarter while his wife is a Westerner. Who knows. It's all cartoons and headcanon with phenotypes projected on it just allows some possible nuance if fanart ever goes outside the standard character design one might suppose.

Fuck that shit.However, I won't complain if Mizutani gives her a small cup increase
