>>46924595Most T-Rex fossils are found on the North American continent, this includes the first and even the most largest ones being excavated in the states.
Need I even mention how T-Rex is also a pop cultural icon in America? Jurassic Park aside. Being based on an ancient kings is even more fitting when that was literally one of Unova's thematic focus with Team Plasma and several other Pokemon like Jellicent.
It could even have worked as a tongue-in-cheek way of saying the concept of "royalty" itself is outdated or for the dinosaurs, which again, plays into America's founding. And no, most of Unova's dex is not Japanese based despite the dumbass /vp/ meme.
>And besides like 90% of the unova dex is japanese based anyway, so it doesn't even matter if you think it doesn't fit a french region.This literally contradicts your entire point. May as well say it doesn't matter Braviary was apart of the Unova dex then.
