I subscribe to the Grass = prehistoric animals theory and the Fire = Zodiac theory. For Water, the only thing that I see that's a pattern is that they make sure it's based on an animal that's amphibious in real life. Nothing terrestrial or aquatic solely.

This one is fine, even if it can barely be called a pattern and more GF not wanting to give the player a starter that would die without water in the first grass route.

>>29057207
Most fit fine (charizard is clearly a dragon, they just didnt want to distribute the OP rare type to the starter, blaziken is a rooster, infernape is a monkey, emboar is a boar/pig, litten3 is a tiger). Delphox is kinda half and half since a lot of japanese stuff treats dog and foxes very similar, the really hard one is typhlosion that while it's japanese name calls him a rat/mouse, he clearly looks like a badger.

The scales on Feraligatr's arms and legs resemble weight bands, which fighters use during training. It's pokedex entries take note of its powerful hind legs and speed. Maybe the brass knuckles have to do with that stuff? I don't know, I think they should have used a different weapon.

Just because they're both canids doesn't make them the same animal. By that logic, Scyther is a Cockroach, and Mightyena is a Domestic Cat.
Disregarding that, they're completely different animals from a cultural/mythological standpoint, which is important when you're discussing an aspect of Chinese mythology. Dogs are loyal and dependable, Foxes are deceptive tricksters. Why do you think every Fox Pokemon has been associated with mysticism?

It's Japanese name is Fushigibana, which is just a pun on the phrase "fushigi na hana" which means "strange plant". It's not supposed to be literally a toad, it's supposed to be weird and different. Like when you see it you say "wtf is this?"

Just look at it's ingame model in XY/ORAS. It's stance is that of a toad.

No one is claiming that they're the same animal. This is what anti zodiacfags don't get. The fire starters have a chinese zodiac motif going on, sometimes with small references or the exact animal, but they're all still related. The cow/ox could be a bull or minotair, the sheep could be a goat, the tiger could be a cat, lion, panther, etc, the serpent could evolve into a eastern dragon and they would still fit.
The only thing that wouldn't is something completely different and unrelated, like an elephant, a cockroach, a fruit, a bird, etc

Sorry, but they do have to be the same animal for it to logically follow a zodiac theme. As mentioned, Foxes are as far apart from dogs as possible. If they really intended for the Pokemon to resemble a dog without being an actual dog, they'd go for something like a Wolf.
This is the problem with Zodiacfags, they reach as far ad possible to justify their bizarre theory. What if we had an Earthworm? Zodiacfags would instantly say "It's long and limbless, like a snake! Close enough!"
Hell, using your OWN logic, how do you justify the Cyndaquil line? None of them even resemble a rodent at all. Do you simply say "T-the Pokedex calls it a fire m-mouse" and call it a day?

I mythology and symbolism you can swap a few and it would work, but not because you can represent dogs with foxes they are the same animal.

That's your opinion, and it's obviously not what chinese fags think. No one has ever claimed that foxes are dogs, and cyndaquil is called mouse in the pokedex.
Not bothering to read the rest, because it's irrelevant, you're looking at it from an entirely different angle and keep ignoring the actual argument

that "motif" is only there in the first place because you decide to stretch your broken theory as much as you can so it fits even though it's blatantly wrong.

You want to consider a fox as a dog because they are in the same family while ignoring that the sheep and the Ox are in the same family but purposefully kept separate for being a different animal.

You want to consider an Echidna as a rat because it has fire mouse as it's descript, By this same logic Typhlosion is an actual volcano.

You only count charmander line because of it's final stage, never mind the fact that Typhlosion is in no way a Rat.

"Dragons" if, we apply that exclusively to the chinese base of the godly lizards.
Drakes would sport large wings, bipedal or quadripeadl.
Wyrms would basically be draconic snakes who have wings but no other limbs.
Wyverns would have wings in place of a set of arms.
And then there's the Qilin or whatever that's the fucked up deer things Arceus and Corrin's dragon form are based on.

To all anti-zodiacfags
It doesn't matter what you think, as I already said, you think they should be the literal animals, but Zodiacfags don't. Why is it so hard to look at it from their view point? I can, you should be able too. You can't just change the argument to prove it wrong, you're proving YOUR argument wrong. As I've already said, the only way to break this pattern is to make a fire starter from something completely unrelated. A bug, a frog, a turtle, a repeated animal like a dog, wolf, lion, mouse, a bird, etc. You're not getting their side of the argument, you cannot prove it wrong
This is just going in circles, you adapt it to fit your criteria and prove/disprove it, but the ONLY way to end this argument would be that, an unrelated animal. By gen 12, we could have 8 literal zodiac animals and 4 related ones, and this same discussion would keep happening, a side with "not the same animal, mere coincidences" and another with "they're closely related, so they fit"

Also Gyrados is a dragon like koi, but it is closer to kois than dragons.

Sorry, a part of my post got cut off. I meant to say that Charizard does fit as a dragon, you can't honestly expect that they had the idea from the start. most likely someone pointed it by the 4th or 5th generation and they decided to roll with it.
And by the second point, I meant that the animals are the base theme, they didn't think of a wrestler first and decided to make it a tiger, they thought of the masked tiger wrestler. So saying that they were based on the secondary theme is not likely

This is my current theory. I used to be staunchly anti-Zodiac and I considered Fennekin and later Litten to be the final nails in the coffin, but after seeing that Luchalitten is explicitly referred to as a tiger internally I'm kind of wondering if they are just running with it at this point. Gen 8 is going to be what really makes or breaks it for me.

Again, it's not "sufficiently dog like" at all. How is an animal known for slyness and deception remotely similar one to an animal known for loyalty? The theory is based on an aspect of culture and mythology; If it doesn't fit that way, it doesn't fit at all.

>>29058778
your baking up the wrong fucking tree you autistic fuckwit

the fox dog is the least worse problem with the zodiac theory

anteaters have more in common with elephants sea cows and whales then the do with mice hell mice have more in common with us than they do anteaters. Fucking infernape is biologically a better fit for mouse than typhlosion

on perspective the last common ancestor of a mouse and an anteater lived before the dinosaurs went extinct

the split between dogs and foxes is 7 to 10 million years ago

If it really was a pattern, it should have been from the very beginning rather then to start in 5th gen I think ? Cause that's probably when it started to be forced.

But either way, this is one of those things I don't really take serious especially with just how desperate zodiac supporters can be.

No matter how much denialfaggots deny it, the zodiac is a real pattern and water is all amphibious animals.
No idea what grass is. It's not prehistoric animals though.

Wooper and Quagsire are salamanders. Giant Japanese Salamanders to be exact. Salamaders have gills just like an axolotl when they're young, hense wooper.

Swampert-line is an Axolotl. (And part mudskipper somehow?)
Similar animals, but not the same.

Think it actually might just be that fire must be blatantly encorporated into their design.

>Charizard's flaming tail
>Typhlosion's neck flames
>Blaziken's flame pattern on legs and fire bursts out of wrists
>Infernape's heads on fire
>Emboar's shoulder/neck flames

Debunked with gen 7.
The weapon based one is definitely Rowlet now, and none represent a prehistoric animal.

Could it also be argued that, from parts 3 and beyond, the fire starters were based off of fighting styles?
Blaziken=muay thai or kick boxing
Infernape=kung fu
Emboar=sumo
Delphox=Magic (like in an rpg)
Then, if luchalitten is real, we could throw professional wrestling into the mix?

>mfw this thread
Sometimes I wonder if we're all just overthinking this and Gamefreak just made the starters without THIS much depth. Yeah, the gen 6 starters obviously have a theme, but other than that, is it really all that much? The zodiac is pretty accurate, but the prehistoric animals is debatable, and the weaponry one is just not entirely consistent (especially with Feraligatr and Swampert). Remember how people thought Pyukumuku would be Water/Fire because it had the symbol for fire on its face when really that was just a butthole thingy? What if the whole alchemy thing is just us overthinking? Is Gamefreak really that accurate with detail?

The worst part about all this is that we will never ever know the truth.

But Greninja's design has no shuriken in it. They're his signature move, yeah, but his design, which is the basis for that image, has no pointy ninja star.
