Pokemon X and Y could be based on Paris, just like Black and White being based of New York and Red, gold, silver, sapphire etc etc is based off areas in Japan |
Yeah, that's one of the things I like about gens 5 and 6. They have started to look for locations around the world to base the sort of "atmosphere" of the game off of instead of just in Japan. It just is, y'know, fresh feeling.
