>>44475896Aside from this shitty year, NYC isn't "that" bad. Or maybe you'd like it better where I am Upstate? Beautiful sometimes of the year, but the people and the lack of anything to actually fucking do makes it a crime ridden drug infested shithole.
In terms of "feel" I do agree with you though, the actual state is a bit different, more gritty than Unova is for certain. I've wrestled back and forth when it comes to Unova's "inspiration" but I've settled on it being:
Partly NYC Chinatown & Toronto Canada. Canada & Unova I think have more in common and are similarly more laid back, diverse, and rural compared to the high paced overly stressed Americana of foolishness that currently defines irl NY. People in Unova are also MUCH nicer, just like Canadians, and unlike assholes in this asshole state.
