Always intrigues me how many people want their in-game characters to share their skin tone. I'm not white either but it's not really something I've thought about. Heck, even in this game I'm not sure if I'll have my character's skin colour reflect my own. There's a good chance I won't.
Clearly it's a very highly requested thing, though. I guess I'm just weird. Am very excited about the other customization options, but skin colour? Couldn't care less!
I gotta hold it down for my team. Let em know who you're messing with when the battle is won. Lol.
Plus its just a consideration thing... No black people play pokemon.... Really gamefreak? I'd love to see a game that gave no options for lighter skin tones in create a character mode. The salty outrage...
