>>37876972>lmao there weren't even 5 gen 5 mons based on america>Lilligant>Scraggy/Scrafty>Elgyem/Beheeyem>Rufflet/BraviaryAll clearly at least somewhat based on a unique element of American culture. Victini, Trubbish/Garbodor, and Vanillite/Vanillish/Vanilluxe could also arguably fit in here.
>Pidove/Tranquill>Cottonee/Whimsicott>Basculin>Galvantula>BouffalantAll clearly based on some animal or plant that's notably "American".
>which the region wasn't even based on.N.Y. only that's why the cowboy rangers don't belong there
Unova clearly takes inspiration from the US as a whole as well as just NYC, though. Nimbasa is Vegas, Humilau is Hawaii before Alola, Clay is obviously Texan, Alder has Native American elements, etc.
>tokyo imperial palaceEntralink obviously took inspiration from Central Park as well given its placement.
>european bridgesWhat? Some of the bridges may be European in style but the concept for Unova's bridges was clearly taken from NYC's own major bridges.
>chinese taoism was the central theme of the storyCreation myths, immortality/North mythology, and alternate dimension fuckery aren't elements of Hokkaido, France, or Hawaii either.
