Hi guys, I was thinking about a relocation of the starters in the region that most fit his design/concept. I really think Incineroar and Feraligatr are perfect for Unova as it is based on the U.S.A. (WWE and alligators so common in U.S.A).
Tell me your ideas.

Empoleon fits Kalos well, as does Serperior.
Blastoise could probably fit Alola quite well.

I thought Serperior for Kalos too, and Empoleon too cause based on French emperor Napoleon

>alligators so common in U.S.A.

...huh? Is this a thing? Do people really associate the U.S. with alligators? Because the U.S. covers a large area and alligators are only found in a very small part of it. This is just a really weird comment to me.

If anything crocs and gators are associated with AUS or Africa

The american alligator is its particular species and is incredibly common throughout the southeast. I would scoff at it being a "very small part of it." The area covered by them is likely larger than many european countries.

Not to mention that it's the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles naturally coexist.

Yes, that is a fact. You can find crocodiles and alligators all over the world, but the united states is the only place where their natural ranges overlap.

That's not counting caymans and gharials of course but they're their own thing.

Alligators are only native to the USA and China. American alligator is more well known, so I've mostly associated them with America.

Exactly, and in U.S.A. you can effectively find alligators. You can't find them in Hawaii, France or Japan. So for me Feraligatr is a perfect starter for Unova

But that's my point. I don't live in Florida. There isn't a wild alligator within a thousand miles of me. It's not an "American" thing, it's a very specifically regional thing (that, to return to the original question, is nowhere near the part of the U.S. that Unova is based on). It's just very surprising to me to hear that someone associates the U.S. with alligators so much.

Man its common name is American Alligator, so it is strongly linked to your country. Even if it is far from your house that doesn't mean that it is not an american thing

They're associated in places where they don't exist?
Anyway pretty much no mons aside from braviary actually fit the u.s. at least no mons that wouldn't for another region better.

Emboar is based on something Chinese isn't it? Pretty sure no starter actually fits unova if your only criteria is that unova is based on the united states.

Samurott is perfect for johto and also torterra, it reminds me of japanese traditional bonsai. But Serperior for me is so Kalos
>>33102120
Boss for me emboar isn't so Unovian, it fits more Hoenn or Alola for being wilder regions
