>>12401872Yeah, I've seen the interview, I just can't believe someone would interpret it that way. Seriously, how... where do I even start with this.
Masuda doesn't mention geography once, he's talking about other elements like how physics and politics works. No-one's arguing that the Pokemon world is LITERALLY EARTH you dolt, but that the geography is clearly supposed to represent a microcosmic parallel of Earth's.
Nothing in that interview says otherwise, in fact;
>>We think of it as a place that is really similar to Earthe.g. the geography.
