>>34736372Apophenia, by the very way our brain, we seek to find patterns in things that may never have meant to have a pattern at all.
Just like how people can see faces on potatoes, objects in clouds, or just hallucinate in general.
Apophenia makes us form assumptions, but it makes us myopic about if there might have actually been a genuine reason for the fire types being picked for what they are.
Why did they choose Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise for Kanto, but Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja for Kalos?
That would be more important to me than the constant attempt to resurrect the Chinese Zodiac idea, because it only answers one of the three lines, which doesn't make sense.
A viable pattern should explain all three lines, explaining why they are being chosen, and give a perfect idea of what might be the next picks for the future three.
