>>29402104>Maybe you didn't know this but most Pokémon have multiple inspirations anyway so it doesn't have to be one or the other.Yes, you already said that. And like I said before, Eelectross shares absolutely nothing with an electric eel that it doesn't already share with lampreys, which it shares much much more with.
And coming first is very important. You would not claim a torch is lightbulb-like would you?
At best you can claim, Eelectross is thematically based on an electric eel, but if you were to claim that it actually was one, you might as well say Shuckle is a turtle, or Wartortle is a stylized wave.
