This looks like a parody of modern Pokemon design.
It even has those fucking chipmunk teeth that so many of the human characters have had since gen 5.

>muh chipmunk teeth

That's just an abstraction used because it's easier than drawing a bunch of individual teeth. Same reason why Pokemon are usually only drawn with four teeth visible and only have full mouths of teeth in certain scenes (i.e. when making an expression that requires it, or biting something). They always "canonically" have full mouths of teeth, but they can't be drawn like that all the time.

Yes, actually. Its designer modeled it after an unidentifiable creature he saw in the woods as a child.

>Motofumi Fujiwara drew the original Eevee sprites from the first generation Pokémon games. He mentioned that Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokémon and director of the original games, requested that he design a Pokémon with the potential to evolve into various different elemental types. Fujiwara envisioned a plain Pokémon that did not look like any distinct animal. “I wanted to create a blank slate Pokémon,” he said.

>This early design had all the main characteristics of the modern Eevee: long ears, a fluffy tail, and a white ruff around its neck. Fujiwara said that it reminded him of a fluffy cat or dog-like creature one would see in the country. “Once, when I got lost in the forest as a child, I encountered an indefinable creature.” He drew upon his vague childhood memories to create Eevee.

and for anyone doubting, in its original sprite(prior to sugimori's art revisions that cutified the design) eevee is depicted has being a lot meaner/angrier like the fox squirrels from nausicaa. also worth noting eevee's abnormally tiny size(same height as caterpie and pidgey)
