My personal far-fetched fan theory is that GameFreak decided to set this game in Meiji era Sinnoh (Hokkaido) purely thanks to the popularity of the Golden Kamuy manga/anime.
And I'm apparently not alone to believe this, since there's already crossover fanart being made, depicting the female main character as Asirpa.

If this means that GameFreak won't do the same mistake they did back in Gen4, when they made almost zero references to the Ainu in the games, then I'll be very very happy. This game is already looking to be much more ambitious than the previous games, just from the setting and the historical angle.
Also, the fanart is hilarious and I'm eager to see more of it.
