Black pokemon trainers?

You're a little late. Please use the search button because people are tired of all these racial threads.

If you want a Black trainer in the games use your imagination and ignore the sprites :p

Pokémon was made in Japan. All of the characters are Japanese, to my recollection. Some are indeed more tan than others, but that's how life works. Japan doesn' have nearly as many Africans and such as the Americas do. Not sure about the situation in Europe, really.
There are no white people, either. They're all intended to be Japanese.

Why wouldn't Brock and his Dad count? Also, I'm pretty sure he's not black but hispanic.

*sighs* Brock isn't Hispanic. In Japan people have different skin tones and complexions too. EVERY race/ethnicity does. That was a bit of a stereotype Claydol.

I'm aware of that, Brock being Hispanic was just something I heard. I wasn't completely sure of it either as I stated in my post.

There are 2 black trainers now that I think of it. Mirror B from Colosseum, and that other dude who uses a Lunatone and had the weird purple toothpaste like hair. So they're both on Colosseum. Brock isn't hispanic btw, he is just a darker skin Japanese (notice the asian eyes too). A lot of Japanese people who migrated to Hawaii actually have a darker skin color like Brock.
