>>40547692Because that's how Gamefreak rolls now, didn't you play XY and SM?
SM had malasadas, SWSH will have curry. Gen 9 will add another worthless gimmick into the game just so they can give some """personality""" to the game's new region because they forgot how to add actual S O U L into their games.
Pokemon regions heavily inspired by real life places were just a fucking mistake. I don't get any japanese vibes whenever I play a Kanto game (a literal location in Japan), why the fuck do I need to be reminded that I'm in fucking UK when I'm play SWSH? It doesn't even feel like a pokemon world anymore
