>>48829371If you want to bring up pokemon and ignore locations, we can just point to how like 80% of the unova dex is asian inspired, while another 15% is european.
No, castellia is clearly meant to resemble NYC
just like the abundant shrine is clearly meant to evoke a rural japanese village.
Pokestar studios japanese name is directly based on Hollywood, but magical foxes exist in pokemon so I gues this means it isn't supposed to be based on or reference Hollywood.
