How many games/seasons of Pokemon went by before we saw a black person? xD kinda off topic but wansnt brock black?

It is never really said. Race isn't a big thing in Pokemon. I mean it is an anime, so technically all the characters should be Japanese. But Brock just looks really tan with spiked hair and weird slanted eyes (which if he is Japanese, that would be even more racist). Iris also seems to have a similar skin tone to Brock, but she comes from the game based off America. Anyway, it is hard to know what is "racist" when you can't figure out what race people are.
