>>45514422Let's theorize once and for all if they truly fit an American inspired region while we're at it. Lets do one at a time, starting with:
>Snivy - Servine - SerperiorWe all know they are based in French Culture, royal aesthetics of King Louis XIV, and a female French knight noblewoman from the French inspired Rose of Versailles anime. In hindsight, this would've been the PEFERCT Kalos grass starter, along with the Musketeer legends as the Kalosian trio which debuted in Gen 5.
In terms of Unova/NYC, I figured it was a reference to France being the first ally of the United States when it was originally formed, but most especially the fact that our Statue of Liberty was constructed and gifted to us by the French. It was originally assembled and unveiled in Paris on July 4, 1884 before being shipped to the United States proper. (Golurk's greenish statuesque coloring may tie into Lady Liberty as well)
It's a nice reference by Game Freak if this truly was the intention, and a reminder that one of America's most popular icons was "Made in France."
