Poke' Mon from a different view

Eveyone has seen pokemon at leat once in there lifetime. This class has made me seen it a little different. On pokemon the character named Brock is a gym leader from pewter city.
The thing is...
Why is he the only character that has been there since the first season other than professor oak and ash's moms? Why is he always trying to get with every girl he see but everyone is laughing at him?
Brock is the only black character in the series. He was raised only by his mother. his father left out of his life when he was young. His mother died so now he has to take care of his siblings. He has many younger brothers and sisters. Don't this sound familiar? Like a bunch of stereotypes that are heard about black families? Since his father left when he was young, wo is the father of the other children?
Comment on this if you understand iight

I feel that this cartoon is strengthening the stereotypical African American grows up without a father and chases every girl he approaches story.
