Not TOTALLY unrelatable but less for any black character , in a game especially. I am happy for them but ... not my cup of tea playing as a black charachter.  To each his own and I am glad some like to roleplay as a black person. (more of the ... play as a peasent or a noble mindset - ill play as noble thank you.) Nothing hateful towards them but simply i care not for them much at all.

But I just don't understand the logic in that, just think of them as a human, instead of as a black.

Don´t misunderstand they are very much human and i dont see them as anything other than that. But each time I have a choice of color of a charachter ill chose the white one becuase I am white and I cant relate to a black charachter as much. If I played lets say Fire Emblem  , I would care less for the survival of any the black ones or others that i find less appealing. Nothing hateful but simply  a choice I would make.

I hope people dont misunderstand my way of thinking into something ...that i did not intend.

Why do I get the feeling that the scene of a Rockruff following the main character is just misdirection?

Well reverse this around and you get 99% of identity politics. "I, as a black man, can't identify with a white guy. Put more black characters in the product!"

Minorities say that all the time. I think it's a fucked up way of thinking though and it shows that identity politics go to far.

Anyways OP :

those cover designs look sick!

Kommo-o was my favourite new pokemon this gen, so I'm happy seeing it get an exclusive Z-move. I like how the player character looks older than sun/moon too.


And.......did I see pokemon following the player????.....or was that just like special cutscene. .....



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

lmao you do understand you're basically saying you're racist right....you could of left it off as "i just perfer not to use them because i cant relate to them" but then you added "i could care less for their survival" regardless if you're playing as them or not.

Lol this thread went off topic real quick.
The gameplay looks good and I like the box arts. Might pick this game up later this year.

lol i was 100% with you until that. As a person of color, i relate/favor toward black video game characters because of the relation (i.e. watch dogs 2, resident evil 5, assassins creed(s)), so I fully understand what you're saying when it comes to a choice between white or black, but in fire emblem i don't sacrifice or care less of a character because of their color. I can surmise that you're not being racists, but that right there seems a little "different" ha.
