The Pokemon world has a lot of regions that are based on various parts of the world. You can have a Pokemon story take place somewhere where non-asian actors would make sense.

The protagonist isn't even supposed to be Ash.

He (the protagonist) was actually white in the game.

or is it that hollywood continues to be racist against asian actors? where is the asian representation in american media? Where is it?

Asian representation is in Hollywood media when they're pandering to China, their biggest and growing market, or when the character needs to be Asian so that they can be a Samurai, Ninja, or Mystic Zen Master.

Even then, it doesn't stop all of it.

The Last Samurai's main character is Tom Cruise and not Ken Watanabe.

The Legend of Chun Li was a notorious train-wreck for various reasons, one being obvious..

etc etc

It's the reason why people were talking about Crazy Rich Asians. An otherwise mundane romantic movie starring an all-Asian cast.

If this China thing really takes off, we'll see more movies like Pacific Rim or even the Meg... or even Skyscraper (starring the Rock who is apparently popular in China).

Anime designs are based off western people anyway so people being up in arms over no Asian actors is honestly hilarious

only time hollywood bothers with a minority lead is with light skinned black people who look more white than black lmao. forget about having a hispanic or asian lead in a movie that isnt culturally themed towards a certain race.

What you want this dude to be Ash?

The lead cant be too black or else the Chinese audience wont go see the movie. Its the ciswhite male patriarchys fault

Because the MC isn't Ash, and this is not an adaptation of the Pokemon anime.

Does it bother you to have a Black lead in a Pokemon film?
