Hello! I am currently designing a fictional Pokémon world based in Korea. I am curious about which regions, landmarks, myths, animals, foods, or cultural elements you think would be great to reflect in Pokémon. I am especially looking for unique references that are not well-known. So far, I have created the following Pokémon: - Moon Rabbit Pokémon - Weasel Pokémon - A Pikachu clone inspired by electric cars and trains - A Pokémon inspired by the Imyeonjo (a mythical creature) - A Pokémon based on kites and kite-flying festivals - A water-type starter based on dragons and bazookas - A fire-type starter based on the story of the 불개 (bulgae, a mythical creature) - A grass-type starter inspired by long-necked dinosaurs and deer - Invasive fire ants Your ideas would be a great help to me. Any suggestions are welcome!
