Honestly pokemon is the ideal universe not just because there’s cute animals that are your life companions, but because they have walkable cities and adequate biking infrastructure
The cute creatures are cool but you know what I like the international High-speed rail, the car lite cities, the popularity of biking as transit and the Walkable human scaled design of the towns, pokemon’s popularity is proof of the way urbanism improves quality of living. Ask any 10 year old if they would rather live in the US or the Johto Region from pokemon and you’ll find out how well the cities of pokemon are designed
