Okay, Thank you.
>Charmander is a Salamander cause it sounds like that word!
It's a fucking lizard, you sperglord.

>underaged plebbitors don't know about the fire salamander myth
>>25866682
people overthinking the thought process of designing pokemon
>>25866767
Yes, we all know about the Salamander flame myth. Boo hoo. It's fucking classified as a LIZARD in both Japanese and English Pokedex.
>>25866772
Nah, it's clearly fake. Now let's talk about something that's obviously real. The evolutionary time period theme the Grass starters going on.
>>25866682
hey
hey
guess whattheir evolutions can count too
BUT MUH PATTERNS
>>25866785
Might I remind you'll that a salamander is A LIZARD?! So is a Gecko.
>Treecko.

No one bases it on the first stage of the starters, if anything its always based on the final stage. Charizard is a dragon, Typhlosion is a badger and I admit it isn't fitting, Blaziken is a chicken which still fits with the Rooster, Infernape is an ape but it has a tail so it's hard to really say, Emboar fits, and Delphox is based on a fox which is part of the canine family.

>b-but muh headcanon
Fuck off with your stupid theory.
>>25866830
Salamanders are actually amphibians, and are part of a group distinct from lizards.
this isn't discussed often enough. thanks for the cool thread, op
>>25866847
So if there was a Lion starter you would count it as a dragon because they are both felines?
>>25866857
A fire amphibian? Very funny contradiction.
>>25866785
>boo hoo
You are too angry, like you're having a period, go milk your nipples a bit, drink the milk that comes out of it, mix it up to your period blood to add savoriness.,

>implying salamanders are lizards
This is about the same levels as owls aren't birds.
>>25866877

This board is full of two types of people, Anon.
1) Those who look at these creatures to the literal absolute
and
2.) Those who look at it as if there is leeway and that the whole thing isn't being so stringent.
>>25866682
If the next region is Hawaii based then we won't have a snake pokemon.
>>25866935
I was mocking the zodicacfag, not you anon.

>No one bases it on the first stage of the starters, if anything its always based on the final stage.
That sounds retarded. If anything people use the last stage as a representative of its line.

These are the best typing a for each one, prove me wrong.

Did you seriously forget about Rapidash or Ponyta being Horse?
Why are some people so angry at the thought that maybe, just maybe, the designer takes inspiration from the chinese Zodiac?
I mean, being sure that they are is just as ridiculous. But being so set on the idea that they don't, and that it's just impossible, and that because it's not a 1:1 thing it can't be true is just being retarded. It's like saying "Fairies can't be real" or "Even if the name is Fairy in Japanese, I garantee you it won't be that in English".
What's the point of being so sure about something you can't have any idea about, and mad that others think differently?
