>>38534649>It's primarily based on japan, with some slight basis in european myth maybe that's it.No. It’s primarily based on the mage/witch because it’s main weapon is a wand-like branch and the fact that it’s japanese name literally comes from the word ‘mage’. Maybe it has some Asian attributes, but it’s not the main design trait.
>And what do rpg classes have to do with anything?Literally Masuda has made an official statement that rpg classes were the design theme for the Kalosian starters. Fennekin represented the mage class. It’s that simple.
>Japan can use those as a template and build off them with asian myths you know?Sure, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they used European myths for some of the Pokémon.
>Wrong, they're based on a japanese interpretation of an ameritard interpretation of those aesthetics.This some serious headcanon you’ve got there but seriously, don’t bring America into this. Japan does not give a shit about America. You can just look at old European art and some of it will look like the Pokémon. GF may be retarded but they do their research well when it comes to designs.
