For me, it would have been enough for them to include four NPCs in the Indigo Disk dome with some detail of traditional clothing and talk a little about their home region, which is where each biome is based: Kenya for the savanna, Russia for the tundra, China for the canyon, and Fiji for the tropical beach.
No controversy at all; you don't need to create a new game for those regions, and you expand the lore of your world. Yes, I know it's really a reference to the Tale of Urashima, and each one is based on a season, as well as references to past games like the Safari Zone, Alola, and Hisui. Still, I would prefer them to continue with the foreign references like they did in the first generation, talking about America, China, and India.
