>>37773423If someone tells you their favorite color is red, are you going to spend the rest of your life arguing that their favorite color is actually pink?
Cause that's what this theory boils down to, opinion. It's their opinion that that the theory is good enough, and its your opinion its not good enough.
The fact a badger/echidna/tenrec isn't actually a rat is completely irrelevant to them. Its their opinion that slot can be based on a different animal to still be inspired by it. Some of them think its ok to say most of the starters follow the zodiac, that some exceptions can be made.
Its your opinion that no, it needs to be the exact animal in every case for it to hold up. And I don't think that's a wrong train of thought either.
Neither side is objectively wrong until someone at GF comes out and says "oi we've been basing our fire type starters on the zodiac, an we got the idea x generation when we noticed a coincidence".
