Just say you based it all on diversity.
It allows them to simultaneously test the waters with non-Japanese regions, and still keep their target audience just in case.
Why do you think the American mons are all stereotypical?
They're not as alienating to the Japanese audience as including something like the tailypo or rip van winkle.
It's pretty genius if you really think about it.
Plus most Americans are too retarded to notice, they see a bald eagle in feudal japan and those mouth breathers automatically ignore anything that isn't American.
They've cut back on all the Japanese but it's still around
>most characters have Japanese names And to be honest who cares?
It's a Japanese franchise, of course it's gonna be Japanese.
