      Because Fennekin has more than one animal inspiration, and dog is one of them. Literally just horns would make the Fuecoco evo fit the bull slot of the Zodiac theory and you morons will seethe.

      I made this post as a joke and 3 posts later

      I think one could argue a thin lizard is close enough to a snake, but if it's a clear crocodile or something, it would show that they're departing substantially from the pattern. Of course, 7 out of 9 starters being exact zodiac animals, one being slightly off, and the other noticeably off makes it difficult to both deny the theory outright and difficult to say they follow it seriously. Personally, I think the zodiac is more of a launchpad for inspiration than a "Oh, I need to make exactly this specific species of animal because it's in the zodiac" type of thing.

      fricking hell.

        Well, the whole Snivy line has little limbs, but they're obviously snake Pokémon. Or, do you think Serperior is a lizard? I mean, Snivy is literally called the "grass snake" Pokémon. But it has little limbs. That's what I mean by close enough.

        cyndaquil is featured in the year of the rat poster, confirming it's meant to be a rodent. Cope.

        is essentially right. The only odd one out so far is Fennekin, which is relatively close to a dog in design. If Fuecoco doesn't resemble a snake at all in its final evolution, then they've decided to depart from the pattern.
        But guys, there are millions of different kinds of animals; you can't honestly believe they accidentally followed the pattern perfectly 6 times by random chance. They have definitely taken inspiration from the zodiac, but nothing stops them from departing whenever they like.

          Yes but starters are meant to be marketable, so they tend to go for the more popular animals. They ain't gonna make an aye-aye starter.
          Which probably explains why the zodiac mons end up as fire types; they're well-known animals. They can't be water mons because they generally reserve that for the aquatic animals, so they can only either end up as Grass or Fire. And honestly using moronic zodiac logic you could connect some Grass mons to it too (Chespin is a hedgehog and thus a rat)

            Also, looking outside of starters, Fire-types in general have a tendency to be mammals with the occasional reptile and bird, very rarely invertebrates/objects/misc., never amphibians (Charmander and Salandit are lizards) or fish. And what are the Zodiac animals? 8 mammals, 3 reptiles, 1 bird.

            Yeah, no. There are way too many possibilities, as shown by all the grass and water starters. Nailing it so many times in a row from the get-go is not feasible by accident. Look at the grass starters for example. You could argue 3 of them matching, but it takes until gen 5 to start making that argument and it falls apart again with Rowlett. Obviously none of the water starters fit the bill. The fact that the zodiac theory was used to confirm Litten and Scorebunny despite the anti-zodiac theory demonstrated that it has been effective. If you argue coincidence, then even if the entire lineup was a perfect fit, you could still argue coincidence because GF will never officially say anything. Nothing stops them from departing from the pattern, however.

              I will admit that of all the potential birds they could've gone with for Fire's first and so far only avian starter, it is interesting that they went with a chicken.

                Assuming the idea of fire/fighting came first, then chicken would be a pretty good fit since chickens have a (pretty unfortunate) association with fighting.

                And on the flipside, zodiac theory was useless for confirming Fennekin. Absolutely no expected a fox, the whole "foxes are dogs" thing is a rationalization to salvage the theory.
                I won't speak for Scorbunny because I logged off during SwSh but for SM, I remember people being blindsided by Incineroar because they were too hung up on the idea of Litten becoming a typical tiger, likely because of zodiac theory. That's the issue with the theory, it doesn't look at family lines as a whole.

              Why not?
              So far, the starters based on unpopular animals (at least for the time) would be;
              Chikorita (Sauropoda)
              Mudkip (Axolotl)
              Popplio (Sea Lion)
              And I’m stretching for Chikorita and Popplio since only Mudkip is connected to an obscure Animal.

              But if you want to prove us wrong, go download RStudio, download some Libraries (I recommend JTools), and do a Regression Analysis (basically the method in statistics where you compare factors to likely influence a pattern)
              Then paste/screenshot the results of the analysis here.

                I'd have to know all possible creatures GF could have used. And I'd have to weigh the popularity and marketable-ness of a certain creature (not a very easy thing to make a statistic without digging up serious research). I'd like to get your opinion on this then. If all fire starters lined up exactly without debate from anyone, would you think it was inspired by the zodiac or just coincidence? Just going through a list of all Pokémon, and there are tons of different creatures. But I couldn't tell you which one GF would or could have chosen instead. Point is, in the end this isn't random. A person is choosing to make a design. If that person has inspiration from something, his designs will reflect that. When presented constantly with such a pattern, if we can make out the Chinese zodiac pattern years ago, does no one really think GF would have figured it out had they been doing it by accident?

                Anon if they had a decades-long plan to based their fire starters off the chinese zodiac then why would they not use a chinese dragon

                Gameboy limitations, marketability, Sugimori art style of the time, they didn't think of it until gen 2 or 3 when Pokémon demonstrated that it was going to actually have a "decades-long" at all—I dunno, man; choose your favorite.

                Ah, what I think is going on here is that toridoshi doesn't specify the bird, so any bird can be placed for the rooster, despite the Chinese specifying rooster. This doesn't seem to be the case for most other years that specify which animal, except the illustrious nezumi. (Sonic is a nezumi, I don't understand your One Piece reference, seahorse is "dragon's child" in Japanese, shiisa are a cross between a lion and a dog, Saru works for both monkeys and gorillas in Japanese.)

                There are some sneaky puns that gamefreak could pull off if they wanted to, or already have if you argue that inu in inudoshi can be stretched to mean canine. 馬大頭 is a kind of dragonfly that has the horse kanji in its name. 馬陸 is the kanji for millipede, which also uses the horse kanji. 馬蛤貝 is the razor clam, again using the horse kanji. 馬面蝙蝠 is a fruit bat, horse kanji again. There are a lot more from the other signs' animals, too.
                >I don't understand your One Piece reference
                The gimmick in One Piece is that there are magical fruit which give a person who eats one some kind of power. Some of the fruit are animal fruit that let the eater turn into that animal. The dog fruit lets the eater turn into a dog and the ox fruit lets the eater turn into an ox.
                Instead of making a separate fruit for the fox and giraffe, they're instead called a variant of the dog and ox fruits.

                You’re absolutely right. GameFreak picks out what creatures to base the Starters on, and all those decisions coincidentally align with the Chinese Zodiac.

                The thing that makes the Chinese Zodiac more of a coincidence than a real pattern is that in order for to be real, the Chinese Zodiac makes the stretches, not the other way around.
                Compare the Zodiac pattern to the Bipedal pattern
                In the Zodiac theory, the theory has to claim;
                >The Hedgehog/Echidna, Weasal, and Badger fit the Rat
                >The Fox fits the Dog
                >The Crocodile will evolve into the Snake/Bull/Horse despite no hits to such designs and the Crocodile more likely becoming a Ghost Pepper
                >The pattern can flip-flop between first and final stage, as well as the whole line
                Meanwhile, the Fire Starters jump through hoops to fit the Bipedal Pattern that is consistant.
                >Final Stage of Fire starters are all Bipedal
                >Tepig, Fennekin, and Litten all eventually became Bipedal
                >Non-Fire starters have stayed Quadrupeds (besides Mega Swampert, which is a Mega and not a Stage) and some became Quadrupeds, showing that the above are unique to Fire starters
                >There are no hints that Feucoco will become Quadruped or lose its legs
                A pattern is less likely to be a coincidence when the pattern is more of an anomoly and bending over for the pattern to work. The Zodiac bends over to have itself work.

                The Zodiac theory has never claimed to be the primary design inspirations for each mon. It's simply a general rule that works generally. It's the anti-gays that make it seem like the other side is stupid with sentences like "they think a fox is a dog" without even listening to what they're replying to.

                So how does that work in practice?
                If you come up with a design that has no connection to the Chinese Zodiac, that would break the pattern.
                If you do come up with a design with no connection to the Zodiac, but gets rejected because it has to fit the Zodiac, then it’s a primary design for the starters.
                It makes 0 sense.

            There are still hundreds of popular animals and untold amounts of made up fantasy creatures, you dolt. Look at the other starters for reference. You honestly think all Pokémon are the same 5 animals over and over?

          Snivy had hints at being a Snake, namely being called the “Grass Snake Pokemon” and having fragile legs.
          Not only does Feucoco have defined legs and is called a croco, it would break the bipedal pattern, something that has been more consistant and less coincidental than the Zodiac pattern.

    I think one could argue a thin lizard is close enough to a snake, but if it's a clear crocodile or something, it would show that they're departing substantially from the pattern. Of course, 7 out of 9 starters being exact zodiac animals, one being slightly off, and the other noticeably off makes it difficult to both deny the theory outright and difficult to say they follow it seriously. Personally, I think the zodiac is more of a launchpad for inspiration than a "Oh, I need to make exactly this specific species of animal because it's in the zodiac" type of thing.

            The pikachu line are squirrels, which are rodents

            You could tell zodiac was bullshit because people would pick and choose which evo form counted
            ie, Charmander is not a dragon, but because it evolves into a dragon (not even a chinese one kek) it counts. Meanwhile, Cyandaquil evolves into something very obviously not a "rat", but it starts out at one so it counts I guess
            Most Fire starters can be connected to the zodiac simply because Fire makes more sense for a lot of these motifs than Water or Grass. Like if you think of a soccerball themed mon, Fire makes the most sense because sports are hot-blooded and firey and shit. Meanwhile foxes have an association with fire due to the kitsune, so it makes sense that's what Delphox would be.

            How is that an issue, exactly?

              Pokemon designs are typically created with their final form first, and then they work backwards from there. This makes sense, because the final form is what you spend the most time with. So why is Typhlosion not a rat at all?
              Or shit, look at Delphox. The "foxes are dogs" point would make some sense if it stayed a quadruped like Fennekin, but there's little dog in the final design. Do you genuinely think that anyone looking to communicate the concept of "dog" would draw Delphox? In a series with plenty of fire dogs already?

                That's because GF is a lot more tight-lipped on how they design Pokemon now, but the few fragments of info we have indicate they still do this. Haxorus & Eelektrik were designed like that. Considering how more cohesive the designs of starters are, they likely do this for them too. Everything about the Fennekin family communicates "witch", not "dog".

                I'm sure it varies for each line, but being designed with the final stage first would explain "disappointing" evolutions that seemingly abandon themes they were setting up like Goodra and Coalossal, because in truth they weren't setting up anything.
