Detective Pikachu Trailer 2

Yeah, it's not that a straight adaptation would have necessarily been better but at least it would have had some of the same appeal.
Whenever Hollywood takes an anime, manga, video game etc. and tries to shoehorn it into a formula it almost never works because not only does it go over like a lead balloon with non-fans, but not even the fans will want anything to do with it. Here at least a Pokemon fan might get some enjoyment out of this movie, even if it doesn't go over well with critics/mass audiences.
real talk the Red/Blue adaptation should star Green
do it, cowards
Well... huh....
Guess I need to bone up on my French Pokemon etiquette.
The France reference is probably another name for Kalos.
The games have referenced the real world loads like Mew being discovered in South America and Lt.Surge being American. I think they're just treating America as another term for Unova.
I'm not saying it is America, just a term they use.

I always imagined Lickitung covered in very short/fine fur with a big bushy pink tail. Especially because the tail is drawn sort of like a squirrel/fox tail and Lickilicky has what looks like a curly hair tuft on its head with no differentiation of texture between the head and the hair or the tail.
Maybe I was wrong but this skin creature freaks me out.

Maybe in the Pokemon world, Kalos is just a region in France.
Kalos isn't really big enough to be a whole country.
The Kanto and Johto regions are just regions of Japan

Another idea is that Kalos is Paris. Unova is New York. Like I'm not talking inspiration. In the Pokemon world due to well, Pokemon existing, somethings stayed the same while others changed. America still ended up being named America, but New York wasn't named New York, it was named Unova. France was still named France but Kalos was founded instead of Paris.
Makes things simpler to think about, no?
Early episodes of the anime don't count. They were still trying to figure out how to establish the world of Pokemon, and back then they still featured real-life animals instead of Pokemon completely replacing them.
Ponyta's Pokedex entry from Pokemon Stadium:
Pokemon making references to real world locations is nothing new.
While it's true this was mostly just in the early stuff, some of that still has still carried over to the current generations.
