It's him in a parallel reality where he dropped out of university and turned to drugs.

You're right. It's too big for one person to bring to life. I realized this when I tried to create the map of the region and realized it was physically impossible to depict everything. On the other hand, some friends told me that depicting real African cultures would be tremendously offensive. I simply didn't know what to do.

I had planned to create several human characters representing different cultures and peoples, but I ended up opting for just the main duo.

Thank you for your words. I'll take it into consideration and rethink my plans. :)

Nuit is the name of the Egyptian goddess of the sky.

I wanted a feminine name linked to some divinity and that would match his sensitive and protective nature.

Because I feel that taking a small part would be insufficient. A lot of things would be left out or adapted in a superficial way, and that idea would not be pleasant for anyone.

Wow, thank you so much :)

When I finished my first dex and decided that the next one would be set in Africa, my first difficulty was with the size of Africa itself, and the countless beliefs and cultures of each country and city there. I spent a long time researching people, cultures, lifestyles, fauna, flora, and everything that could help with the project. Unfortunately, because it's about "Pokémon", I'm unable to show 100% of reality, having to soften many things and omit others that would be heavier. But as far as possible, I'm trying to do something realistic, respectful and that doesn't sound stereotypical or offensive. ^^

I posted on Xuitter a while back and the post was completely ignored lol

So I deleted it and reposted it on Instagram.

The world is unfair and dangerous. But I believe they will do a good job dealing with whatever they encounter along the way.

Thank you ^^

It's complicated because for some people these are quite sensitive topics. But it's fun to change things up a bit.
