>>57747012>Kek, what implications?That countries exist where people don't speak the lingua franca.
>THe real world has those too.Yes, and in the real world, people won't speak the same languages as me when I travel to the other side of the globe. But they do in Pokémon. It does NOT work the same way there, yet they pretend it's the same. That's the whole point.
> They don't "refuse" to address it, its just that the game is called "Pokemon" and not "languages".Again, then why bring up languages at all? How is that relevant to Pokémon? Literally what would change if they removed all flavour text that references other languages existing? That's right, nothing.
>So the real world is also inconsistent and ilogical?No? Again, if I meet someone from Spain or Japan, chances are very high they won't understand any of the languages that I speak. That's consistent and logical. While in the Pokémon world, you see someone from Unova meet people from Paldea and Kitakami, and they all speak the exact same languages. So obviously the Pokémon world is inconsistent and illogical because it pretends different languages do exist, but doesn't actually show these aside from extremely irrelevant side characters. Why do only these characters struggle with this problem? How is that possible?
>And? that doesn't mean they don't exist, that just means they didn't show them.That means they functionally don't exist. It's not like they'll show up later.
If some NPC in the game said "Yeah there is that Pokémon called Globglob, it's fuzzy and pink", do you think that's a real Pokémon even though it's never shown, not even in any other future installments?
>>57747036They do that already by featuring characters from faraway regions, like Sabrina. You don't need languages to convey that idea at all.
