Every single grass starter is something extinct if that was the logic they'd all be ghost type.

The pueo though, is a Hawaiian owl believed to be ancestor spirits. That could be a good reason to make it ghost.

>The pueo (Asio flammeus sandwichensis) is a subspecies of the short-eared owl that is endemic to Hawaii. The pueo is one of more famous of the various physical forms assumed by ʻaumākua (ancestor spirits) in Hawaiian culture.

He's a spirit owl.

I'm tempted to believe this but where does the Fossilmons go? If the inspiration behind Grass Starters are from extinct creatures but they are not extinct in the Pokemon world but we still have extinct Pokemon. Guess they just screwed with the time and introduced Grass Starters as a living, reproducing species?

It's a totally different reality I guess.

Near flightless and couldn't deal with rats, pigs, and agricultural practices apparently. A bit strange considering several other ground species lasted a lot longer. The line might've not been very plentiful in the first place, or it was more restricted to certain habitats.
Conversely the other native owl the Pueo or Hawaiian short eared owl actually thrived due to said conditions. It gained another egg predator with the rats, but agriculture and settlement gave it plains habitats in which to hunt more effectively. Hawaiian Hawks preferred to catch birds in the rainforests/ had one or two birds per a huge territory, so the Pueo basically got free reign in the expanded open habitats thanks to settlement.

I agree that venusaur is just a vague thing, but in this day an age a lizard with digitigrade legs that evolves from something with analgous leaf feathers is clearly a fucking dinosaur and you're some type of contrarian idiot if you think otherwise

Hawaii was originally called the Sandwich islands by Captain Cook after the Earl of Sandwich, one of the main sponsors of his voyages. When Kamehamaha I united the islands, he named the country Hawaii after his home island of Hawaii after creating a formal government. Nowadays the entire state is called Hawaii, but Hawaii island is called Big Island as to avoid hassle and I guess to confuse tourists.
A lot of naming schemes for species here still like to go with sandwichensis or something similar. Lots of endemic/ indigenous species discovered here to choose from.

Foxes and Dogs are very distinct especially in Chinese culture/lore which is obviously relevant to the Zodiac angle.

Also if Typhlosion is fine because Cyndaquil is a Shrew/Vole/Echidna/"Mouse" then Charizard is not fine because Charmander is not a dragon. You can't have it both ways.

Jesus Christ, seriously? I'm totally okay with Decidueye being Ghost, but you're reaching if you use "stilt owls are extinct" as an explanation.

It's Ghost type because it's stealthy. And its pupils glow red, so its not just my moms archer owl.

Ghost is one of the types that always has a clear fucking theme. If you want a broad type look at dark or fairy. Ghost is always spiritual, either an unbound/intangible spirit, a possessed object or something occult. Nothing about this owl conveys any of that.

>LE OWLS ARE INHERENTLY SPIRITUAL
No they're not, fucking every animal is spiritual somehow and owls have lots of other interpretations. Robin hood owl has nothing spiritual about it, it's a generic predatory bird in a vibrant hero outfit.

Based on an assortment of hedgehogs, armadillos, and pangolins, may however be based on a glyptodon.

So possibly 2 out of the 6 other starters are based on extinct animals

to add on to this, I love the idea of grass mons being prehistoric/extinct animals, fire mons having more of a mythical/fictional animals feel, and water mons basically being currently living animals.

Essentially, from the starters alone, you pretty much get a huge spectrum of what pokemon are, despite there only being 3 choices.
