And just because a pattern wasn't intentional doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I guess all patterns are in the heads of fans, even if they have more concrete evidence.
All water starters are based on aquatic or amphibious creatures that don't exclusively live underwater. This pattern is true. That does not mean that it was intentional, or that it will hold true for 8th gen. A pattern is just a fan theory.
Sometimes they're obvious, sometimes they're insightful and intentional. You can even predict new things with some of them, but it's not a guarantee.
I don't understand why /vp/ has such autism with the concept of fan theory. There's a million examples of this every day.
