>>43481509Those are generic rabbit Pokemon. It was well within expectation to assume Game Freak would make a Fire-type rabbit at some point. That is different from just creating a design out of scratch. Also, Game Freak differentiated Scorbunny's line with the use of their long, noodle limbs; white fur; yellow bands, and association with kicking and football.

In Game Freak's case, they made Rowlet more spherical than a barn owl would be, with a lighter brown coloration and more white in its design than the fan designs, and they made Dartrix's eyes closed. In Frosmoth's case, people projected an Ice-type Volcarona for a long time, but not a woolly bear moth.
