>>34940920Alola starters don't have the RPG theme, anon. GF isn't going to repeat themes from previous regions, and you know why? Because then it prevents each region to be unique and have its own individual theme.
Kalos focuses on beauty, which is why everything was fairy tale-like, and explains the medieval RPG starters.
Unova focuses on unity from different groups; this is why the starters are all based on different countries, but are able to be given from the same region. This is a reference to New York as the state is known to be a melting pot; different cultures colliding and living as one community.
Sinnoh focuses on myths, which can be shown within the region itself as it has the most lore, and the starters being based on myths as well.
Now according to Ohmori, Alola is meant to incorporate a meaning of a land that overflows with life force and supports various forms of life. So Alola's theme could just be about the flow of life, which should be reflected on the starters.
So no, the RPG theme is not continued since that theme is unique only to the starters of Kalos, your hint for the Alolan starters theme is within Alola's meaning of its name, and the aspect that was focused on.
