Dear god, Professor Oak has pulled a Michael jackson on us all! Either that or he has a black cousin...

Also, a new trailer: 

What do you think of the trailer? And do you approve of Professor Oak's new black identity?

Edit: Professor Oak is revealed at 1:32. Kudos to Airaka to reminding me to show when it is.

edit: CUSTOMIZATION IS BACK!!!!!! Look at 1:28. The trainers all have unique clothes. I don't see how this can't be customization.

It's at the 1:31 mark for those wondering. Lmao well they certainly did use his character design xD

Probably a cousin. Or he got a Ross tan (Friends reference).

I am sure you'd get a very nice tan too if you moved to Hawaii. Hopefully he goes to the dermatologist regularly to check for melanoma (and other skin cancers>)

Huh, that could be him. Checking from a source, that is his name in Japanese, soooo... yeah, I guess Oak really worked on his tan and let his hair go.

Also, that trailer is awesome. I'm pretty excited for this game now.

the music has me pumped up as well.

It's obvious they didn't just try to squeeze cash out. Everything from this game reminds you of Hawaii.

He doesnt even look black in the trailer XD he looks islander. Im just curious if anime Oak will change too. And how theyll explain his drastic change.

We havent seen Oak since Pokemon HG/SS -so his change would make more sense in the games world

Jesus Christ. That's not how a tan works Game Freak

never count using Mississippi

Oak got an aloha version too huh. Well at least he didnt' turn into an ice dude.
