>Gen 1: We need a Fire starter that is cool so we can sell games with it. How about a firey western dragon?
>Gen 2: We want another fire starter but we need to do something different from the first gen. How about a rodent with fiery spines?
>Gen 3: Huh... the first starter was a dragon, the second is called the "mouse pokemon" in the dex... what if we stuck to a Chinese zodiac theme? How about a chicken next
>Gen 4: They aren't quite getting the point... How about we stick to the zodiac theme and go monkey but make it extremely Chinese in design so it's clear what we're doing
>Gen 5: People are still denying the theme... let's make a pig this time and keep the Chinese design
>Gen 6: We want to do a dog but we already have 2 families of fire dog Pokemon. What can we do to be different? We already have a family of fire fox Pokemon too. Well we've always wanted to do a fennec fox. They're not dogs but they're still canidae and the kids won't know the difference
>Gen 7: We have a concept for an edgy black cat that becomes a dark-type wrestler panther... But it doesn't fit the theme we've been following. Quick, draw some stripes on it and make it a tiger.
