She's more tan in every depiction but all I can think of not mentioned already. Sorta olive skinned I guess.

Will you stop with the olive-skinned thing already?

Huh? I said it once. What's your deal?

I like Iris from Pokemon BW/BW2. Dragon type is really cool and she has a badass team (Axew and his evolution line are my favorite Gen V pokemons)

Black Bowser from Paper Mario Color Splash? Does that count?

Honestly I don't know. I don't really pay attention to the skin color of video games characters. I also don't really care. If the next Zelda game had a Hispanic Link and a Korean Zelda, cool beans I'm buying it all the same. You want to make Samus a naturally red headed black person? I'll buy it as well. What's that, you are making a Hawaiian Peach? Awesome sauce I don't care.

My "deal" is I started this thread to honor and appreciate dark-skinned Nintendo characters, and already several people have come in and fucked it up by either not taking it seriously or saying "Vandham ain't black, hurr!!".

Its 100% your fault. You want support the black community by talking about Black Nintendo characters - Cool

You then list characters who are not "black", but have dark skin - understand that there are dark skinned indians, middle easterners, mexicans, Hawaiians ext... but they are not black. Do understand that. 

Not that you had do anything about it, I was just informing you.

Now you changed the topic so now its not what its suppose to be about.

Where are you from? 



No idea in general, but I am one of those people who doesn't pay attention to detail and even look at a character and think about their name, skin colour or if they human alien looking, just straight into the game as time is limited these days. For example Pokemon games, I don't read the text, just skip it all and explore the world, no time to see what the character is called, what they look like.

Only names I know (on Nintendo Systems not all from Nintendo) are basically main characters from Mario games, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat, Zelda and Punch out as I spent countless months on them or played several versions over the year lol. So it got burnt into my memory. Even then, I didn't stop to think oh i'm now fighting Mike Tyson who is black. To me it was Iron Mike best boxer in the world at the timel.

I excluded sports games for the fact I watch NBA or NFL on TV, you know them by their name.

Olive skin is a darker skin. It's an actual descripter. I never said anything about Vandham so back off.

In the spirit of the post ima open this up to games in general and say barett from ff7, rodin from bayonetta, jaqui briggs from kombat, and emmet graves from starhawk. They all either had cool characters or cool stories.



This thread is all kinds of stupid and CaptainExplosion; you are the root of all it. Not gonna go in too deep because your heart was in the right place but you are woefully ignorant on the topic. Puerto Ricans don't like being called Mexicans and Mexicans don't like to be called Puerto Ricans. You are the type of person to do just that because they speak a mostly similar language. They are quite different peoples.

Lets just say that you were not geographically challenged - It does not matter that Black people occupied the middle east before Arabs or vice versa! When you say black you are referring to a group people who are descendant from African slaves, not some general term for multiple peoples that may have settled in the same area or anybody with dark skin.

Be careful about this in real life bro.
