>>55078962>of how prone China is to throwing a fit when other people depict their country Outside of Taiwan shit this isn't a problem and the Taiwan issue is easily avoided by simply ignoring it. A Chinese region would just be a single region like how Unova and Alola are a single metro area and a single state.
>Everywhere outside of who I mentioned so far is a third world country and actively dangerous so I can't see Game Freak doing them.I don't get where this idea that GF wouldn't do a third world country comes from. Brazil notably has a long history of cultural exchange with Japan and there's a significant Japanese immigrant community in Brazil and vice-versa. If you watch anime and know what to look for you can see a lot of little references to this. Mexico and Peru also have pretty large Japanese immigrant communities, as does Hawaii which is probably one of the reasons Alola exists.
Who cares about it being "actively dangerous"? The US also has a pretty high crime rate but that's never been an issue. Gamefreak can simply choose to not depict drug cartels and gang wars?
