I know it's "THE UK" but why did they force a football theme into gen 8 Pokemon? It's not really a team sport like that.

It's the biggest spectator sport in the UK though, which is why they related the Gym challenge to it.

Football is the biggest sport in the real world.
Pokemon battles are the biggest sport in the pokeverse.
The fact that football elements weren't thought of sooner is the actual confusion.
Of course major league events would be held in massive stadiums, why the fuck did the main game never do this until now?

Huh... I wonder... could it be that worldwide recognition and fame is why they used it as a theme for a region that treats Pokemon Battles as official sport?
Whoa... I know that's a huge stretch but we're gonna have to go deep to figure this one out.

True but Pokemon battling is more like dueling or boxing than a team sport like soccer. The gym challengers should really be like managers but the games make them seem like players.

Pokemon can be tagged out for another Pokemon at any time, so there is an element of teamwork.

It has more in common with shounen anime fighting than any real sport, but it's still a team sport.

You're not wrong, but that could just as easily describe modern Japan. They're both bland consumer cultures ruined by international capitalism.

Just because you bend the knee to smartphone makers or animated mice, doesn't make them any less your royal overlords.

Back then GF just pick a setting and expand the pokemon world from there. It wasn't until Gen 7 where they go full hard on with real life references. Imagine if Ecruteak had tourists chasing geisha around like SM constantly played up the tourists on vacation thing. It's retarded.

Cinderace is the shillmon so they made it revolve around the regional gimmick (or made the regional gimmick revolve around it, whatever) so it would be easier to shill.
Its the same deal with Incineroar, masked wrestling has fuck all to do with Hawaii but its a major part in SM because they needed a spot for Incineroar to show off.

Hawaii was the first part of the US to get anime and Incineroar is a massive Tiger Mask shout out.
