I wouldn't expect the France setting to change a damn thing. Seeing as how despite having a Xenophobic Trip they did nothing with the American thing (except randomly put American movies variations in pokestar studios). None of heights taken account for that, no Ash complaining about too much salt on Cilan's food, no violence lusting little kids, no Dawn complaining about about everyone being too loud AND WORST OF ALL there was NO DISMAY AT TIES. Honestly guys Americans fucking HATE ties not all Americans even know that it is different in other countries but there was combined total of a 10 years between the the last 3 ties in the NFL. We have a phrase for it "Getting a tie is like kissing your sister". But how did Trip the American Xenophobe react to tying with Ash the derpy foreigner? "Your style isn't for me". Trip should've Asked Ash for a tie breaker RIGHT THERE.
I don't really begrudge the anime (cause you know it's a kids show) for not including these things except you know the tie thing or any rational to Trip's Xenophobia. But I really think we shouldn't get our expectations to high for the France frenzy.
I don't think the writers would care adding those little "details" since I doubt "omg American food is SO salty/its so loud!/ect" isn't a widely-held opinion (or they don't even know about it). If they did, they would just be throw-away one liners in only one episode. I found the BW games to be a bit more "American" than the anime, and you know how close the writers stick to the games...
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUE but what I'm saying is "why would they do France any differently?". I did say I didn't begrudge them.
