A lot of recent Pokemon generations focus on a specific part of the real world, which means that the franchise has been missing out on a lot of great potential inspiration from other parts of the world....

What followed was the chaos of the 90s, as Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, South and Egypt all were crowned champions within two years of each other; interestingly, only Egypt even managed to contest the final of the edition following their win....
