In 2005 Iceac's design was inspired by the Snowboarder trainer class from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal. And yes, that arm is literally the most recent drawing of him. Unlike other members of the Controler's cast whose ethnicities were fully formed on creation or changed extremely very recently, Iceac was made black within 2-ish years of creation. Why? I don't fully recall but I'm pretty sure it had to do with the idea making him "cool" and being someone that tried very hard to be "cool". As you can see, the basics didn't really change, he just got more detailed and specific over time. Lke, I haven't even changed his goggles in 15 years. And yes, that arm is literally the most recent drawing of him.
