Kuro and Lucia are headed to Reborn!

That idea was what originally sparked the new trainers. I realised that having different skin tones was probably more important than a gender neutral trainer, though. Unfortunately, I don't have the room to do both :x

Today it come to my mind that ethnocentrism is not the only problem of our societies.

Last week I had a class about Handicap, and how to incorporate handicapped children in school (which is now obligatory as much as possible in France). It made me realize how it was hard to be disabled in our societies, and how disabled people were put aside, even more mentally disabled persons.

Today, I realized I can't find in my memory any handicapped character in any game I ever played, not even pokemon whereas that kind of character could be present. Thus, because in Reborn Ame is trying to represent minority groups, I think it could be interesting to put in the game a few handicapped characters .

Of course, we have a few gym leaders that seems mentally disabled, so in this regard, the idea was probably already considered. But, the fact is that autistic and trisomic people are the most shunned of mentally handicapped people but also more common that people usually think, they should, in my opinion, somehow be present in Reborn (rejected a maybe a better word ? In any case, trisomic is not even recognized by the grammar checker).

And, well, I haven't seen any wheelchair in Reborn, did you ?

It's a noble idea. I'll be honest, I personally have a lot of mixed feelings about that subject, especially regarding representation, and I'm not sure this topic is the best place to describe them. :x

Is there any way we could switch from a new one to an old one?
