Even if you make the stretch of fox->canine->dog, that still leaves cyndaquil, an echidna that evolves into a badger - because fuck Darwin - and neither are in the zodiac.

They use the shitty logic that Cyndaquil is the "Fire Mouse Pokemon" as the Pokedex says. It's hilariously forced how you'd have to pick Charizard, a final evolution to represent its line and Cyndaquil to represent its line.

And if you're going Fox->Canine->Dog, you might as well go Badger->Mammal->Rat, y'know?

Most of the grass starters resemble dinosaurs, Snivy evolves losing limbs over time to become a modern snake, and Chespin's line is designed after the first mammals.

It's pretty clear that those themes (zodiac, prehistoric - and water type are so easy to come up with they don't really need a helper) are not rules but are merely here to help the designers to pitch a design every gen.
It is undeniable those aren't coincidences.
They didn't go with a strict fire dog because Arcanine is already a thing, and they probably grew bored of green reptiles so they moved on to prehistoric mammals.

Personally I look forward to the fire tiger and whatever ancient mammal they come up with

Oh, you mean Smogon's format? Which bans everything that destroys Chesnaught? Irrelevant.

The only relevant competitive format is VGC, and Chesnaught is just as much of a deadweight in VGC as Meganium is.

Not saying that he's any good, but I rather bring a Chestnaught to a VGC match than a Meganium. Chestnaught at least has a useful ability and some useful resistances.
