Are you effing serious!?
 
It's been a common theme. Skeledirge line is based off of Mexico (Spanish colony) and the Steel elephant line was based off of India, a crown colony of the UK.
Ok, this and all posts like it are fucking bullshit
show me all those african inspired pokemon from gen 6
hell, show me one reference to Portugal at all

but more to the point, pretending that people from different cultures are the same is a shitty thing to do

every other region not named Kalos was given more attention to their particular culture than this
I mean what part of Spain is reflected in Paldea? the Poke-church? yeah "europe has christian churches, news at 11", yeah it's the Sagrada Familia, it should be in it, but that's like one of several different spanish landmarks which are frankly more distinctive

what have we been shown that tells us "this is Spain" so far? the food? tertiary activity aside we seen paella and spanish style tortillas, which is appreciated; but fucking quesadillas? might as well have some piaparan while we're are it, same culture and all :blobshrug:

so what else?
...
so far, well nothing comes to mind

also

after the loving detail given to the japanese colonizers in Legends Arceus and the bizzare mismanagement of the ainu which sometimes made me think I was watching fucking Peter Pan, I know that:
a) when Gamefreak wants, they can do some very detailed research on a particular culture
b) sometimes they go "we don't give a fuck about those people" and do a lazy job
and let me tell you; nothing's more lazy than portraying a buch of different cultures as if they were the same, nothing says more "I don't give shit about these people"

also also

Hispanic people as a whole get treated by richer countries as if their countries and culture where inferior to them specifically because of the influence the spanish had on them; hell Spain itself has a history of being looked down upon by the other colonial powers (cause you know, serfdom is so much worse that enslavement and extermination, oh those brutish spaniards; yeah fuck right off England, France and scandinavians, Spain was awful but there are no words to describe the rest of you shitheads)
so yeah, going "aww they basically all the same"? not appreciated



and ultimately, if the brazilian members of the forum tell us that having their culture mixed up with spanish culture is fucked up, then having their culture mixed up with spanish culture is fucked up

this thing?

fucked up

fucked

up





no seriously, how is Portugal represented in this game at all?
