>>35131430>Also, are you not familiar with how Foxes are depicted in popular culture?I am, and for the most part there just described as animal with magic/mind powers like the exemples you just gave me.
But witchcraft + fox is just a really forced thematic especially when you compare it to other fire starters with more depth behind their designs.
Charizard = Fire/Flying dragon based on the salamender
Blaziken = Fire/fighting based on fighting rooster + Muay thai fighter
Infernape = Fire/Fighting monkey based one Wukong
Emboar = Fire/Fighting Pig based one Zhu Bajie and "Romance of the three Kingdom"
Incineroar = Fire/Dark tiger based on the old popular Character/Wrestler Tiger Mask.
Granted Delphox isn't just a recolored animal like Typhlosion but so far, Delphox concept is just "Take a fox and make it a wizard".
