[DISCUSSION] Pokemon Moon and Sun: a new market for Nintendo?

[Apo]

As a Master student in Business Adminsitration, I was guessing Nintendo had huge plans for China, since every company wants to sell their products there (from cars to movies).

There is a theory going on french medias, and I think it is viable

I will be using pictures @Justin posted



This bird could be a Red-crowned crane, a chinese bird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-crowned_crane)



What Masuda is pointing at could be looking like chinese restaurants

Also, if we think that Magiana will be featured in these games, there is a chinese myth about a lunar rabbit. and the game will feature moon, with Magiana having some rabbit like ears.



the hotel is very similar to the Raffles hotel in Singapore

Yes, Singapore is not china :P but its flag has a moon, while chinese flag has 4 small stars with a huge one (and, the sun is a star :P )

The moon and sun are a huge part of the chinese mythology and astrology. Following the astrology, this could bring some legendaries. They have protecting entities (for North, South, West, East) a water turtle, a steel tiger, a fire phoenix and a wood dragon.

If you add the fact that game would be in China, plus the fact that the game will be translated in 2 chinese languages, it would be the perfect boost for Pokemon sales on the chinese market (1.4 billion inhabitants)

What do you guys think?
