>>38258959>doesn't make sense for the starters final evolutions and a legendary quartet to be themed after oriental mythology when it takes place in not-UK.So? We had ninjas, bancho, luchadores, a foo dog, and a fucking genie combined with a Chinese trickster god in France. We had Jew golems and Jew land/sea/sky beasts in Kyushu. We had Napoleon Bonaparte, Sun Wukong, and the world tortoise as starters in Hokkaido. We had starters based on French nobility, Zhu Bajie and a samurai, as well as Fujin/Raijin, Taoist dragons, and the green musketeers + d'artagnan in New York City. We had Princess Kaguya, koalas, another Chinese dragon, and red pandas in Hawaii.
Stop pretending like important things in a given gen magically have to fit the real world basis.
