Pokémon Sun and Moon - Errrr,Art of new rival can be triggering too.

It's still a double standard, actually. The bottom line is that they're mad at changing the skintone, but only when it's dark skin being changed to white. Regardless of what people might think, that's a by the book double standard. I don't agree with changing his skin tone since it's clearly not canon for him to be lighter, but I also do not agree with things like taking a white character and turning them dark skinned. They're both equally against the canon. You want representation? I can understand that even if I've never understood it. I'm Native American, and have never been bothered by the lack of my skin tone in main characters, myself. But, if you change a white to non-white, there's absolutely no ground to claim when someone makes a non-white into a white. Both are equally against the canon depiction and should either both be seen as such, or both be left to "Well, that's what they want, I'll do my own."
