>>38611049> Diamond/PearlThe games are heavily themed around mythology, and all the starters reference real-world myths. (World Turtle, Sun Wukong, Poseidon)
> Black/WhiteThe games are notable for being the first set outside of Japan, and the starters each reference a different part of the world as a result (The West, China, and Japan)
> X/YThe games are the first to be set in Europe, complete with kings and castles, and as a result the starters reference the common fantasy class archetypes (Warrior, Mage, and Thief)
