Americans: how does it feel to know that your region is least popular and has least sales

You must be so bothered that the UK is not on course to be the second highest selling games in the series. By the way, thanks for buying it even though you said you wouldn’t x

Can you even call this bait anymore when everyone is just going to sage it?
Anyways, not only did we get two relatively decent regions, but I personally enjoyed them too. Yes I enjoyed XY as well, to the best of my patience, but U/S/M and B/W/2 were fun in their own rights.
Also Alola is the most dangerous region ever which fucks with my preconception of island pacifism. Just find that funny.

I don't really care about Unova like that. I think Sinnoh games are better, replay Crystal more than BW/2, and I really like Gloria and want her to dom Hilda.

I'm British, and Unova is my favourite region.
I am disappointed that my home region is the worst mainline Pokémon game, though. So much wasted potential.
It's also a shame that people are buying this shit, but that's due to the popularity of the Switch.

I wouldn't say all three US-based regions are fun and challenging but I had much more fun in Unova than Kalos and Galar combined. Haven't played Orre and Alola's cutscenes kill my enjoyment.

Of course SwSh shills are also illiterate.

Add to that the lack of Pokémon, the bland level design, the increased price and the fact that there's bugger-all to do in the game (especially without the overpriced DLC) and it becomes pretty clear why I think the Galar region sucks.

Incorrect. Galar could easily extend to include all its hundreds of surrounding islands. Could include Northern Ireland.

No one wants another soulless trip to the US, except Americans.

Unova has nothing to do with America culturally and that's a good thing. It's literally a fantasy kingdom which superficially only resembles NYC in terms of the bay harbor.

I'd have an easier time believing Unova was Toronto, had no one said what it was actually based on. And yeah, Toronto is basically just "polite" NYC without as much garbage, graffiti, thugs, and bullshit. Just like Unova.

The kingdom story doesn’t change the fact it’s based on the US. They obviously went that route because they realised without it, an American region would be soulless. Just tall buildings.

Nah, Unova had such a big influence in this area it could be forgiven that people thought it was Shanghai. Literally "America's" box legends are Chinese.

>>48517116
Doesn't America have a local folk culture Game Freak could have used? The way Unova is presented with the "kingdom" and knights plot you could literally have had it based in Kalos without changing that much, especially considering Snivy and the Swords of Justice.

Yes, we have tonnes of it. Cropsey, sewer alligators, ice-skating poltergeist, the Hudsong river ghost ship, Liberty Island's treasure, and although not New York related, Mothman exists too. Plenty of options.

Maybe Masuda wasn't aware of this. You'd need someone versed in local lore on the design team. Urban legends "could've" been a good idea, but it could also have backfired. Considering how this board views Vanilluxe, which Turner actually did partly base around that Ghostbusters Marshmallow monster.

>>48517775
That could have been better represented in game, though the Skyarrow Bridge was pretty good. Tbf to Toronto they do have the iconic CN tower.

Forgot to mention that Alola is based heavily on Hawaii's own folk lore, which is interesting to note.
Wonder if it's because it's polynesian, or they just REALLY didn't like designing Unova? New York was the port state of most of the ships that ended up kicking Japanese ass in WW2.

Nah, you could tell in the Unovan concept art Masuda really did put a lot of actual effort into BW. Anons don't have to like it and that's alright, but they really did try for a soft reboot of the series to capture that fresh feeling of exploring a foreign land.

Another anon here had a point awhile ago, that because this was a transitory point in the series, they didn't put a lot of typical "local culture" in like later gens. Just a few key mons like Braviary, Cofagrigus, and the like to signify that is was more western.

If Unova was released today, it likely would just be a soulless tourist trap with "typical" Americanized things.
