She does though. You're not the one talking to her. =PYour mother not caring if you leave. WHY DOESN'T MY IN-GAME MOTHER LOVE ME?
Well, I've always considered the focus on real-life geography on Pokémon to be a special feature. Having real-life countries and geography mentioned especially in the days of Gen 1-2 was not something that was done in many other RPG games - the only two examples that I could think of would be Shin Megami Tensei and Yokai Watch. Particularly GSC and XY really nailed the head, as they really felt like Japan (or Kansai) and France respectively, and I thought Pokémon did well with its setting being an alternate version of our real life universe. This was what attracted me to play Pokémon, because then I could easily immerse myself into the Pokémon world.
Extending my current argument, I did not like how the tropical culture were added to the RSE region which was Kyushu, because Kyushu isn't that south of Honshu and isn't that warm of a climate. In other words, it looks too unreal, and the tropical stuff looked out of place. I rather would have seen them do a truer-to-life Kyushu like they did for Kansai in GSC, or abandon Poke-Japan altogether and actually use the geography and the culture of Hawaii, Guam-Saipan, or the Brisbane-Townsville-Cairns area of Queensland as a Gen 3 tropical region, if the tropical feel was so important. (Like what Level 5 eventually did with Yokai Watch 3.) I hate ORAS-Hoenn even more Japanese because when they didn't improve/Japan-ify the geography on what should be on their home turf, it strike me as laziness on GF's part. This is especially the case when they really nailed the head with a region that's not their home turf.
And this is the reason why I will NOT tolerate a Pokémon regions's geography that deviates from its real-life counterpart without a good reason, and I will NOT respond to any negotiations from other people in regards to this. It is also the reason why I did not play RSE and why I will not play ORAS, ever. In fact in my upcoming fanfiction (see my blog for that), I'm going to drastically remodel Hoenn to reflect closer to real-life Kyushu. It is also the reason why I will vehemently defend GSC, XY, and to some extent RBY. I shall close my case.
