Nidoran is inspired by a rabbit. Nidoran is not a rabbit pokemon, its not a cartoon rabbit. Bunnelby is a rabbit pokemon, its a cartoon rabbit.
Zoroark is inspired by a kitsune. Zoroark is not a kitsune pokemon, its not a cartoon kitsune. Ninetales is a kitsune pokemon, its a cartoon kitsune.
>>38371803No one is arguing that ludicolo wasnt inspired by a kappa, the thing is that Ludicolo subtracts enough elements from its inspiration(no turtle shell, the hat is heavily stylized as a sombrero, no mischievous demeanor) and adds enough elements unrelated to it(the fat body stylized as a poncho, the dancing, the cheerful demeanor) so it becomes its own unique thing not just a cartoon kappa.
A western dragon its not a fictional snake just because it was based on a snake. It pulled enough elements from other sources to becomes its own unique thing.
Its not that hard to understand guys.
