Which one has it worse among these countries GF has deemed too irrelevant to properly exist in the Pokémon world?

Wales wasn't even in swsh was it? Scotland got fucked pretty hard. I wish we got that much snow :(

Wales is Spikemuth, it's based on Rhyl, a former successful resort town that went to shit in the 90s and is now known United Kingdom's worst seaside town (no joking, you can look it up)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyl
So like the pic says the only thing they took from Wales was the worst shithole they could find, that's the entirety of the country's representation in Galar.

As a Portuguese tard, I don't think there are words to described how pissed I am with how shafted we were in Paldea. Technically a few places in Paldea are based in Portugal, but it feels like Gamefreak just treated us as though we were just part of Spain even though we have a separate language, culture and Portugal is the oldest nation in Europe, it has stood for over 1140 years, we were the bulwark that faced the muslim orcs head on and drove them out of Europe in the reconquista. We are even responsible for a lot of the development and cultural trades the western world had with Japan. Several Japanese words used to this day are derived from Portuguese. I feel equally as shit for the Scots, Irishmen(?) and Welsh, technically represented in a region as well, but completely shafted. There's also the Galegos, who also have their own unique culture, language and the sort, live in Iberia and were treated as though they don't even exist.

Portuguese is gallician but sadder and gayer and nobody cares about portugal. And portugal isn't even the oldest, it's "officially" pretty old but if you knew about history you would know the different peoples and cultures are older than the proper countries, fucking basque country culture is so old basque is one of the oldest living languages of the world, it's believed to date back to pre-ice age europe
And for the record I do feel bad about your lack of representation but I can understand why you got shafted hard, I honestly feel bad for all cucked countries because I actually like seeing them represented through the lens of a realistic but semi-fantastic world like Pokemon

Better than the welsh at least lmao look at the post above yours, imagine if Portugal's only location in Paldea was GF trying to find the shittiest place ever and even using it as a plot point so your country is canonically the designated shithole of the region

Ireland had representation in Sword & Shield via the box legendary of the Scotland-based area being Brian Boru of all things.

They're probably scared to do an Ireland region because they'd have to decide whether Northern Ireland is in it or not

>>58778495
That's like saying Unova had France because Serperior and the muskeeters. Ireland has nothing so far and honestly I'm glad, Galar is the lowest point in the franchise and I would like to see an irish region someday, so hopefully they will eventually do a full irish region with both irelands.
After all if Portugal can be absorbed into Spain and Malaysia can share region with Indonesia they can surely make an unified Ireland region

I mean Dynamax Dens have aesthetic ties to the Giant's Causeway
>The toughest giant of Scotland builds a bridge across the Irish Sea to test his strength against the toughest giant of Ireland
>Irish giant is scared of the Scottish one but manages to win after first demoralising him through a series of tricks
>The Scottish giant flees, destroying the bridge as he goes so that the Irish giant can't follow him. Instead the Irish giant starts throwing rocks: the biggest one lands in the sea and becomes the Isle of Man (Isle of Armor), also one of the Scottish giant's teeth gets knocked out and becomes a smaller island

You also have legends of the Isle of Man being where the god of the sea lives, yet neither Lugia, Kyogre nor Manaphy showed up there.

The EN versions of the Battle Chatelaines are the most Irish Hoennites, if that counts.

The fact they're establishing NPC's as being Irish, even before thinking of touching Great Britain as a region proves they know enough about Ireland to NOT actually add it to a region focused on an entirely different country. Political divides mean fuck all to Game Freak (Portugal as Paldea) when the idea is to use the outline of the area to establish a Pokémon Region (and I'm here for any potential bullshit they cause, only cunts who'll care are the same cunts detested by the english political system and the crown, the nationalists will ACCEPT the island of Ireland presented as a unified land).
>>58779835
The entire Pokémon series has been localised by TPC/TPCi since Gen 5 kid. And since we have teraleak evidence of Ireland and Irish people existing in Kalos, it wouldn't be THAT much of a stretch to consider more kicking around the world at that time. My sister went to uni in France for a year for fuck's sake and that was in '98, I can only imagine the amount of Irish students and young professionals going there these days.

>Can some aussie redpill me on Darwin?
no, I know nothing about darwin specifically, perhaps an NTfag could chime in but I've literally never seen one on 4chan despite seeing anons from literally every other state/territory
it's the captial of the nothern territory, which is mostly known for having the highest percentage of aboriginal population among the states/territories, so maybe they'll lean into that angle with the dot painting meme (actually invented by a white man but whatever lol) and some elder NPC(s), perhaps they won't even reference it being darwin at all beyond the geographic shape, your guess is as good as mine

>the have writing fanfic for years so the fanfic is more valid
No, it's not.
>irish ethnicity is a thing
So? Clemont's father is spaniard according to the teraleak too, doesn't mean it has anything to do with them doing or not doing Spain a decade later.

So far the emerald isle isn't represented in Pokemon at all, we can only hope that changes in the future.
>>
>>58778223
mann had it good for even being considered
>>
So would it be better if GF went back to making regions within a country into a region (Kanto-Unova) instead of making almost an entire country/multiple countries into one single region (Kalos, Galar, Paldea, Gaia)?
