why did Scarlet and Violet (a game based around Spain) randomly have 4 legendary chinese pokemon thrown in?

because you didn’t pay attention to the game
Seriously, reading this thread I swear nobody actually played the game, or at least nobody attended history class.
That's 90% of the people who complain about the technical issues in SV
Honestly this is what I think people who actually think the paradox pokemon are from the past/future
Huh?
Because Spain is the China of Europe (just like Argentina is the Nigeria of South America).
Can we turn Albania into the Kentucky of Europe?
Some Chinese merchant sold them to a Paldean king before they turned into Pokemon
same reason the america region had french musketeer legendary pokemon i guess
A promotion for the next region.
chinese knockoffs of other pokemon
because Spain has no interesting mythical creatures
I think you mean the US.
Wrong
>fearsome critters
Every country has tons of them actually, the problem is Japan doesn't care about them unless they're japanese.
>
Well, can, you name any ?
nuberu, tsragu, las lavanderias, cuelebre, anjanas, ojancanu
Eh, most of that are simple giants or magic people.. No so interesting I think
a fair number of pokemon are based on simple giants and magic people. the real question is why didn't gamefreak really bother with researching the region to make fitting mons beyond tauros
We could've had a cuelebre dunsparce evo bros...
we do already...sort of. there's aspects of the cuelebre in dudunsparce but they're pretty heavily buried under all the other shit it has going on
think again dickhead
Spain was one of the big OG's for the Hispanice Trade. The lore of it was that a king was given these cursed objects and they turned into Pokemon
Because China is a bunch of assholes
Because Japan knows that yuroids love to steal artifacts from other cultures. Also the next games and the sequel to PLA will be in a China inspired region.
China (used as a whole) is too big for a single region
Since when has the IRL size of a place mattered? They just take the shape of the map and scale it to their own preferences. It’s not like NYC is as geographically big as France, the UK, Spain, or Hokkaido - yet their regions all feel similarly sized.
You're assuming realfags played the games and/or that they actually know geography.
no fuck china it should be nuked
china region foreshadowing
no fuck china it should be nuked
why did unova have 3 japanese kami pokemon thrown in etc.
Unova had French Musketeers. So maybe China is the next region.
>just ignore the chinese and japanese that were the majority of everything in unova
no fuck china it should be nuked
no fuck china it should be nuked
Because the regions being based on irl locations is of superficial importance.
This.
Paldea being inspired by Spain doesn't mean its Pokemon designs can't take inspiration from other cultures.
I can't help but notice that you're not complaining about Japan having a phoenix legendary
A phoenix is part of their Four Symbols.
>Four Symbols
yeah, which is chinese.
idk, why not? they have a pretty decent lore justification in that portugese merchants imported a shitload of chinese goods in the 16th century
Because the game takes place in Paldea not in Spain.
And why Ganker randomly had a redditor creating reddit threads in it?
The regions culture has only been a deciding factor in legendary deigns like twice in the entire franchise.
Gen 7 and gen 8.
All other generations have just been random bullshit from whatever mythology the devs decided to pull from.
Gen 3's regi trio? Golems. Hebrew mythology
Gen 5's genie trio? Genies. Middle eastern mythology.
Retard, the genies are shinto.
The nickname "genies" was a fandom thing.
Lol "hebrew mythology" is just god, they are the monotheist roots
angels? demons? pantheons of surrounding cultures were also worshipped by the ancient hebrews
don’t some people even see groudon and kyogre as behemoth and leviathan?
cool it with the antisemitism, chud
Why the fuck does Kanto based on the region of the same name in Japan has a Native American Thunderbird.
It's supposed to be a hummingbird
You mean the species entirely native to the Americas and not Asia at all?
alright chud thats enough
i just realized this is supposed to be a humming bird
quite fond of the snale
Because GF are not realfags.
Guess you guys are ready for
>The Fates (Either Moirai or Norns) in Russia region
>Vietnam's Four Immortals in Switzerland region
>Four Tezcatlipoca in Texas region
>Three Vengeful Spirits in German region
>Daniel's Four Beasts in Australia region
spanish people love the chinese
they’re references to shitty chinese knockoff items that spaniards get imported all the time
made in china
