Fire Starters obviously inspired by the Chinese Zodiac
>Charmander line = Dragon or Snake>Cyndaquil line = Rat (Its even called the Fire Mouse Pokemon)>Torchic line = Rooster (Its a chicken, same thing)>Chimchar line = Monkey>Tepig line = Pig>Fennekin line = Dog (YES Foxes are Dogs, part of the Canid family)>Litten line = Tiger>Scorbunny line = RabbitFuecoco line will likely alight with either Snake or Dragon. Ox would be funny though
