I just learned what the unova starters origins are and they're all complete shit
>oshawott is supposed to represent japan
Wasn't the whole point of gen 5 to be the first non-japanese region? Why does japan need any representation?
>tepig represents china
If the starters are supposed to represent diversity why are two of them asian?
>snivy is supposed to represent the west
a fucking french knight is supposed to represent the entirety of the west? asia needs two starters to fully represent them but the entire west just gets a french knight? in a region supposedly based on new york fucking france really?

Because they didn't do this fucking shit of forcing a region to have references to the country it's based on.
This started a bit in gen 6 and became a reality with gen 7 and gen 8. This is just not creative they force themselves to create a teapot or a flower necklace just because it exists and it's a stereotype. It was better when they just made whatever monsters for a region.

It's Imperial Powers, you mong. Samurott's a Daimyo, Emboar is porcine Zhu Baije and Serperior is a pampered French Aristocrat. The point was to show how America's a union of cultures.

yeah it started a bit in gen 6 because it was the first time the series left japan, and didn't just say that and make everything japanese like gen 5.
It's a fictional world, how are you supposed to make it based on something in the real world and not add things that make sense?

If you say unova is based on new york, then add japanese ruins and european bridges then you didn't base it on new york or at least you're being disingenuous to say just new york.

because the Unova region has a racially diverse human population — we decided to make the starter Pokémon’s evolutions symbolize the cultures of Japan, the West, and China.

Honestly, they should stop trying to make this shit appeal to an international audience. Either go fill in in Japan or invest in making universal stories/games. Stop trying to pander to a culture you have no idea about that didn’t make the series popular to begin with

Them pretending like unova is special for doing it is dumb. Also the unova dex is possibly one of the least diverse of any region since almost every mon is based on something japanese.

American inspiration: Pigeon, construction worker, baggy, trash, eagle, buffalo

Japanese inspiration: Samurai, kimono, pawniard line, arguably kung fu

Gen6-
French inspiration: frog, chestnut, poodle, perfume, snail

Gen7-
Hawaiian inspiration: surfer, flower necklace, tropical fruit I guess, tribal dancer, tropical fish I guess

Gen8-
English inspiration: drummer, soccer player, spy, corgi, unicorn arguably, stonehenge, chaplin

And yeah trash isn't unique to america either but yeah, america is a disgusting place and if you consider it a western country then it's probably the ugliest western country so that one i'll give you.

So they were "told" there would be a fire pig from the get go, indicating the patternfags were always right.
The only guidance they describe for grass types is "reptiles go well with grass" and nothing for water, which they mention as the type they struggle the most with, which seems to me a strong indication there is no pattern or theme for them.

Unova starters are too this day the lowest point for starters, which is saying something because we've had some real stinkers since then.

They are supposed to correspond with Unova's local legendaries retards
Emboar = China = Tao trio
Samurott = Japan = "Genie"/kami trio
Serperior = France = Three Muskedeers

Anything actually american in unova was either also japanese (skyarrow bridge takes inspiration from both the brookyln bridge and the tokyo rainbow bridge masuda himself said it was 50/50 split) or I got a weird feeling like the really didn't wanna make an america region
>the musical was awful
>liberty garden is just a lighthouse not a statue compare that to the eiffel tower of kalos or big ben in galar also victini is trapped inside it so trapped in the symbol of freedom
and that's basically it lol
And to be honest what the fuck could they even have used for mons in unova to make them american? What literally my moms fox instead of zorua? Literally my moms cat instead of purrloin based on an anime?
America doesn't have folklore or myths and fucking new york has even less than that.

Gothitelle is a reference to the Flatwoods monster right down to the cry.
If you want to stretch things a bit the little green men myth was directly referenced by Elgyem.
