<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

So what brought this question to mind was actually very simplistic. I had been browsing youtube when I came across [this] and it made me think really hard. I grew up with Pokemon in the US and was pretty loyal to the series. To me, I had always pictured something as simple as the title song as well.. American. Regardless of the obvious Japanese influence, I was young and didn't know any better. 

Until I saw this video, I hadn't thought about how others may have experienced the show. It's very likely that the people in France watching the above video had experienced it the same way as I did and I'm just seeing things. But maybe, just maybe, they experienced it in a totally different way. Maybe Ash Ketchum was not the main character in their eyes, but rather, he was just another trainer. Who knows.

And that's why I'm posting it here, because I'm positive that someone who's French or any other nationality for that matter, can shed some light on this. Haven't you ever wondered about others? Are people really that different, or are we the same? Just food for thought.
<bot>: I saw a French version of the Pokemon theme song and it got me really thinking about other societies in other parts of the world.
