>>27547635It does not resemble fire any more than it's tail does. Stop pulling shit out your arse.
Even if it is fur that is supposed to resemble fire, why is it going straight out? Fire goes up. Fire being projected out of something like a flamethrower doesn't wave like that, and fire that is just burning doesn't stick out to the side like that. The "it's supposed to look like fire!!1!1" reasoning doesn't work when...it doesn't look like fire, and the character already has real fire. The Pokemon Company knows how to draw real fire. If they wanted something to look like something...they would do it.
Venasaur is a stupid comparison. They didn't make its ears look like flowers, and give it flowers. They made it plant colored and cover it in actual plants. If Delphox had real fire coming out its ears that might look cool, especially if it turned on/off/magnitudes like typhlosion's neck. It would solve the weight issue and give triangular harmony to the fire on the stick. (Called rule of threes, if you took a first year art class). As it is, the ear hair is clearly hair. The sleeves are also hair. Why do the sleeves hang when the ear fur does not?
Here, go look at Delphox in Amie. (If you don't have one, or are too lazy, here's the first video that shows up for its amie:

When Delphox moves its head, the ears bounce MORE than the ear hair. The hair moves less, and often doesn't move at all when the face and ears move smaller amounts. That gives the impression that the ear hair has either autonomy, or that it's not connected to the ears. It doesn't look like it fits.
I say all this even though I LIKE Delphox. There is good reason people think the ear hair looks bad. Because it does. No pokemon has an absolutely 100% perfect design. You're just an autist that can't accept that there are flaws in your favorite waifumon.
