This might be a blessing in disguise.  Is there anyone at Capcom that you think would be able to do a nee Okami justice let alone Viewtiful Joe?  Personally I'd probably outsource VJ to a smaller company that has more passion for the IP but Okami I think would be a bit trickier.

I have mad respect for the Monster Hunter team given how they have handled that series and the subtle advancements it had implemented. Also I want to say the main folks behind Dragon's Dogma are still there as well. Either of those folk I would let have a shot although you would need a crazy good artist and how well that art style works with the RE engine is another thing.

“We need more games to be political.”

 

Great Ace Attorney: Has racism that’s portrayed negatively.

 

“Not that kind!”

 

 

This is a truly weird con since despite being wacky, all of the Ace Attorney games elements based off the real world.

I listened to Gamexplain's review of the game and they also mentioned the blatant prejudice and racism in it but they didn't put it as a con just mentioned it as a means to further prove the person's innocence..  That's kind of weird to put it as a con since they're trying to portray how things were back then accurately.

I always assumed there was no Japan in Pokemon and the dark skinned people where Dark Skinned of the world they come from. Ain't no Kanto Region in Japan. 

 

I dunno that's a phenomena I find really weird. Fictional characters from entirely fictional world but "Well he's obvious Japanese. Just cross the Yuruga River, climb over Mt Doom, just past Misery Mire and Japan's right there!!!"

 

No one in Pokemon is Japanese. They may look Asian but they aren't, there is no Asia in Pokemon. 

While I agree with all of this, there is a Kanto Region in Japan.

 

I'm sorry for being THAT guy

I am guessing that probably was one of the reasons they held off on bringing the games out of Japan besides being late generation releases.

Monster Hunter  and Dragon's Dogma won't really translate to Okami aside from a combat sense.  Not saying I wouldn't mind seeing them try but I highly doubt Capcom would take major talent from their MH pillar at the moment since that is on fire right now.   Not saying I wouldn't mind them taking a shot but I don't have confidence that it will be "Okami".

While i get what you mean, the thing is that outside some obvious examples, like the Alola chars, most characters have a lot of characteristics that make them ambiguously brown.

Hell, even in the Alola region you could say that those of dark skin are more probably tanned than being of natural dark skin, like is the case with Nessa and Bea on Sword and Shield.

 

Shauna is most likely a kogal for example, given her fashion sense, the same with Nessa, giving that she is like an idol or model and Sonia is another gyaru, of all the chars that you could say is actually dark skinned is Iris, Mallow is left to interpretation if is just a tan, or if she is dark skinned, but even then, she is considering the context of the region either Polynesian (which technically makes her still asian) or inspired by the south ethnics of japan who usually have a darker skin  .

Inspured by =/= from that region. Pokemon is a unique world unto itself. Humans are inspired by the world around them and that will be reflected in their works but no one in Pokemon is Polynesian, like that's not really a thing. It's like the setting of The Witcher is very clearly based on Poland, but isn't Poland and no one there is from Poland. Same for Middle Earth and Englishmen. 

 

I dunno it's just weird to me a lot of people claim fictional characters from fictional world's are a specific type race from our world. Is it a need or want to feel more like the character on screen or something? That's a disconnect for me and a lot of other people because generally I want stuff to be as removed from our world as possible on fiction or else I would just go outside. I also don't generally see myself in characters but as individuals themselves. Even in RPGs with create a characters and heavy RP I never make or play myself but someone who looks and acts nothing like me but moat people I talk to seem to do the exact opposite.
