I called this out before and will again; despite Rob's claims about the original series, if you go back and actually watch it as I did after that claim, it is INCREDIBLY diverse even from the very first episode. Exceptionally so for the 90's. Whether male, female, any race or ethnicity, etc. Not just occasionally. Every episode. Every single one. And not in a tokenistic way to go LOOK AT US REPRESENTING but simply because they were equals on the show.
The funny part is after reading Florence's "interview" here rambling about the lack of diversity, I actually went back and watched the show (at least, ALL of the Diamond episodes) and suspect he hasn't.
From the first episode, people of a huge range of ethnicity, race, males, females, were there in virtually every single episode. I'm not exaggerating it either. He was spectacularly wrong about that.
And that's why your day is done. Gone. For 20 or so years now. People who do care about things and others have taken over. Go live in the past. The present is far more caring and considerate.

Re: Atari's Attempt To Relaunch The VCS Has Just Hit Another Brick Wall
Technically, "Sega" isn't "Sega" and hasn't been for a very long time either. Sammy bought them out ("Sega Sammy") years ago too...

Re: Feature: How One Magazine Told The World About Pokémon
N64 Magazine also had fairly extensive coverage of Pokemon from before the Japanese release onward.
