19 Extremely French Things That Happen In The New Pokémon Game

    The Kalos region is 1000000% modeled on its Gallic real-world equivalent.

    1. The game's map.

    2. People casually drop French words all the time.

    3. Professor Sycamore.

    4. The cafes serve menu items like "chocolat chaud," "limonade," and "café au lait."

    5. And everyone is pretentious about it.

    6. Parfum Palace is literally Versailles.

    7. Prism Tower is actually the Eiffel Tower.

    8. And the Tower of Mastery is probably Petit Bé.

    They're both located off the coast and are only accessible when it's low tide.

    9. Lumiose City is so fashionable that even the Poké Centers look fancier...

    10. ... And of course, everyone wears a beret.

    11. This.

    12. You can join the nobility.

    13. There are "artists" everywhere.

    14. (But you can only look at the real art.)

    15. These poodle-looking pooches are running around everywhere.

    16. This is another one of the new Pokémon.

    17. The tourists are ALL UP in your face.

    18. This is just straight-up the Seine.

    19. When you beat the Elite Four and the credits roll, this is the last thing you see.
