>>48290630NYC has Chinatown, but overtime I've grown to agree more with your sentiment. None of Unova's starters really fit NYC too well:
Snivy should've been saved for Kalos along with the Musketdeers.
Tepig could've been saved for a future Chinese region, or switched out for Litten, who feels more "American." If Snivy/Oshawott drew off from Little Italy or Harlem, then Tepig representing Chinatown would've been fine.
Oshawott and the Kami trio could've been new pokemon introduced in Arceus Legends, as they all fit better there anyways. Hell, maybe introduce Tepig here and some new grass starter too.
