>>49822756The Gen 5 starters are deliberately mixed in culture to represent Unova/America/New York as a cultural melting pot.
The Gen 6 starters are linked to Europe/Kalos by being influenced by RPG classes, which are heavily inspired by European culture and stories. Fighter, mage, thief.
Gen 7 was shit so it didn’t count, and no I’m totally not ignoring it because it goes against my point like most faggots on this board do.
Gen 8 is based on British culture. Rock and roll, football, and spy fiction.
Gen 9’s starters having Spanish in their English names might be a hint that Spain and its culture play a larger part in their inspiration.
