It's insane to me that people think GF puts in any more effort than "hey that looks cool enough put it in". Pokemon has some of the shittiest world-building in history, which sucks because it has insane potential.

I agree, GF has a gold mine on its hands and is content to exploit it to the maximum without worrying about quality. I find quite incredible the difference in quality between the illustrations of the traiding cards game, the animated shorts on youtube, the imagination of the faketemon artists or simply certain fan-arts on the one hand and the reality of what GF gives us on the other.

Snakes are more like elongated lizards that lost their limbs. Crocodiles are archosaurs and their closest relatives are birds.

They're both canine and look extremely similar. A fox is basically a forest dog. Most children (aka the target audience) could easily see the connection.

Ah yes. The target audience that can't understand the difference between a dog and a fox but can understand that fire starters are based on the chinese zodiac over decades of games. What a nice argument you got here.

Still a thing, it's LOOSELY based on the Chinese Zodiac.

>Rat rep
Cyndaquil (actually an equidna by design, but called a type of rat in official material)
>Tiger rap
Litten, the cat whose final form is Tiger Mask.
>Rabbit rep
Scorbunny.
>Monkey rep
Chimchar, a chimp, apes are often not even counted as monkeys, but everybody knows what it is meant to represent.
>Rooster rep
Torchic.
>Pig rep
Tepig.
>Dog rep
Fennekin, a fucking fennec fox, not even a true dog, but canids were colloquially referred to as dogs in general.
>Dragon rep
Fuecoco, the baby form of Skeledirge the Drac de Na Coca, a mythological dragon crocodile.
>Snake rep
Charmander, a squamata (snakes and lizards are grouped together, they are part of the same order of animals).

>b-but the limbs
Snakes used to have limbs and some lizards do not have limbs either (like slow-worms), Snivy is also a snake with limbs.

TOTAL CHINESE ZODIAC VICTORY

I'm 50/50 on the whole thing. I'm waiting for the next starters to really be sold on it.
Because there are thousands of creatures to use, it's gonna be pretty easy to not do snake/ox/sheep. So i'll wait till then.
>>57223157
I'm pretty fine with answers like this. I don't need things to be exact, if they use cyndaquil in year of the rat merch then i'm convinced it's rat enough. Fuecoco is a weird one, but if it follows next gen with a clear sheep/ horse/ox/snake whatever then it's good.

Its not even a lizard. Its a salamander, which according to European folklore, were impervious to fire and able to extinguish/control it at will. In case you forgot Salamanders are amphibians. reptiles birds and mammals are all amniotes.anphibians are not amniotes meaning if you go off modern classification a rat and a chicken a both more closely related to a lizard than any of them are to a salamander.

Not sure.
I think it's gonna be weird, but I guess it's ok to repeat? As long as it's not ambiguous. It'd have to be something obvious like a fire monkey or chicken, not just a bird.

What about you, how would you feel if it ended up being one of the missing?

They also could "repeat" with something like any canine like a wolf or dog or any rodent since that is the current argument for Cyndaquil
And I wouldn't care if they end up as one of the missing as long as it's hot, I don't hate the theory I just enjoy seeing misery so seeing it be debunked would be fun

I mean it's be hard to say a beaver is a rat, or a hamster. Wolf is absolutely close enough to a dog, kinda like saying you couldn't have a Pug because it's not the dog on the circle.

I am fully expecting a minotaur, Centaur, no idea what the sheep would be.

Foxes are canine so i give it a pass. Fuecoco just doesn't fit at all though. The different joke posts justifying it is always funny though. Skeledige being an ultra chad that ignores the zodiac is beyond based and the reason Skeledige is the best gen 9 pokemon.
