>>47280434Oh that's fair. Typhlosion (and many Johto Pokemon actually) tend to have subtler designs, so the confusion about why it fits in with Legends is understandable
>It's Japanese name "Bakphoon" containing "Bakufu" like you mentioned>Representing Firearms/Cannon like >>47281513 mentioned >Represents either Bears (Pic Related) or Weasels (from another pic I can't find right now) which are important in Ainu>It's based on a Hinezumi, a fire-proof rat from Japanese Folktales (though the Hinezumi was said to be native to China so it makes sense for it to come from another region). Ironically the fact that Typhlosion design is so simple yet non-specific means that it can be fit many roles.
When I was talking about seething, I was mainly referring to those few anons that spent months shitting on Typhlosion and starting gen wars when Cyndaquil got into Legends.
