Unova had Pikachu decorations and shrubs despite Pikachu not being catchable in their regional dex. This isn't anything new.

>go to grocery store
>see fruit loops
>see a toucan
>toucans don't live in my country

WTF?

>>29274269
Pikachu is the series mascot that's completely different, faggot

>>29274269
unova was a special snowflake though

>>29274256
It makes sense for a business to have exotic imagery as a logo

>>29274256
>companies use animals as logos
>animals aren't native to the country the company is based in
what the fuck

I have to wait till January to use my favorite mon but have to see him all over the region. Why game freak? What did i ever do?

>>29274293
only if exotisim is in the company image. learn to marketing.

>>29274311
Not really, if the animal has a symbolism is well known. Look how many things use lions as a symbol of royalty to indicate high quality, not an exotic feel.

>>29274329
I wouldn't consider lions exotic. Lions are too well known.

>>29274329
This.

>>29274304
I'm sorry though I like Slurpuff too.

Even these fuckers made it in. Like why?? I don't understand anything any more

>>29274347
They are still technically exotic. Slurpuff is probably known everywhere because it's famous as a chef's helper and a symbol of sweet foods.

>>29274347
I mean, it's not your neighbour dog at least

They didn't include Slurpuff because then they'd have to include Aromatisse, and no one wants to see that thing

>>29274347
It doesn't matter if they're well known, they're exotic. Originating in or from a distant country. In most western countries lions are exotic, and they're used heavily there. Slurpuffs could function similarly, as a symbol of cuteness or dopiness worldwide.

>>29274362
No new Ice types

>>29274378
Trueeeeee

>>29274256
Every countries on the world who have a lion on its flag doesent have lions in the country it represents.

>Game called Sun and Moon
>Solgaleo and Lunala not on regional sex

>>29274383
>It doesn't matter if they're well known, they're exotic.
False. While the technical definition of exotic is from a distant country, functionally, exotisim always has a certain novelty associated with it. Lions aren't a novelty.

Same with the Slaking on top of the motel

>>29274416
Not false, faggot. Yeah, it CAN refer to novelty as well - things can have multiple definitions! - but the primary definition is of something originating from a foreign locale. Literally just fucking google it. You can't just decide what the functional definition is when everyone agrees it's what the fuck I said. Yeah lions fit that definition as well but that doesn't discount that it fits the more standard exotic definition either. Thus "lions aren't really exotic" is a false statement.

Christ it's like you people are allergic to fact checking before you say something.

>>29274486
We're talking in reference to marketing. The technical definitions of exotisims don't apply when companies decide on how to market to their target demographic- they're going to decide based on what their demographic considers exotic. Lions aren't exotic because if the company goal is to find an exotic mascot, they're not going to pick a fucking lion, because lions have an entirely different set of values associated with it. It's technical exoticism is entirely secondary. I studied this shit, you pretentious cockwad. Sit down.

>why did they add icecream pokemon in a beach vacation region?

>>29274362
The Vanillite line was kind of a pain to get in Gen VI without transferring, so maybe they think they're throwing it a bone by making it more common.

>>29274263
He mad

Slurpuff grew on me in a big way once I realized it was some kind of cupcake dog. P.cute

Swirlix is going to be one of these forgoten pokemon that will barely apparear in regional dexes.

>>29274256
Why are people applying real life to this game world implying there is any obligation to follow it, just to defend the really IDD regional Dex?

>>29274256
>The US has a cereal with a toucan mascot

>not found on the continent

What the fuck

>magmar and electabuzz are in
>no jynx
Fuck it all.

>>29277864

Poor jinx has always gotten the shit end of the stick

>>29277898

>>29277898
Her cool lore went to shit after they turned her purple and you could no longer pretend that her "face" was covered in shadows.

She got a really cute preevo, though.
