Kalos. I absolutely adore French culture and I feel as though Kalos emulates it very well. Lumiose captures the essence of Paris with the numerous bistros, alleyways, and boutiques. I also love how fashion played a role in story with the introduction of character customization. After all, Paris is the fashion-capital of the world, and France itself has historically been a fashion-conscious nation. Everything about Kalos is reminiscent of France, the region is incredibly well-thought out and in my opinion, it is the first region to truly resemble a country as a whole.
I also do love Johto’s culture. While Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are also based on various regions in Japan, Johto’s culture is the most interesting and seems to reflect traditional Japanese practices and values more so than the others.
Alola for me, feels very Hawaiian, however, I feel as though they could have done more with it. To me, it’s as if they were holding back in some form.
