>Beta/cut Pokemon get reworked into something that clearly shares the same base concept and evolution idea, BUT can look pretty visually different: see original Farfetch'd evo "Madame"/Sirfetch'd or beta Tangela evo/Tangrowth.
>Based on that: Kotora's line was a three-stage electric big cat. Shinx's line is a three-stage electric big cat.
>Luxray's Japanese name is Rentora, tora is "tiger" in Japanese, and has striping on its front legs as a potential legacy of once being a tiger.
> Shinx line's beta sprites are fat just like Kotora line's sprites are.
It feels like it adds up to me, but I'm curious if it does for you guys.
