Before anyone says that Litten doesn't fit for tiger, realize that GameFreak isn't against making domestic cat based Pokemon evolve into big cats. Meowth was a Siamese cat that evolved into a mountain lion and Purrloin was a black cat that evolved into a leopard. So Litten can easily evolve into a tiger.

Cyndaquil is a fire mouse.

And before you say "MUH INCORRECT TRANSLATION", they could have "fixed" it in later games, but they didn't. That objectively means that Cyndaquil is intended to be a mouse pokemon.

I remember noticing the zodiac pattern independently of the Internet when tepig was announced. By that I mean I didn't know the theory was already a thing.

Anyway, fennekins ears make it look like a papillon, which is an iconic french dog. Cyndaquil definitely counts as a rat since it's obviously some kind of rodent.

And even if Litten weren't Tiger, there's still that 13th zodiac member concept, the cat, that got left out so it would still fit in anyway.

Things that could actually be zodiac killers:
Some kind of non animal (like a fire/rock lava golem pokemon)
Any repeats on the zodiac (technically not a killer but really would put a lot of doubt out there)
Any animal not on the zodiac at all (insects, flying birds, bears, etc)

It feels fucking good to be a member of the Zodiacbro team, since it gives me the rights to laugh at the pathetic Anti-Zodiacfags who think they're anything but retarded and unintelligent subhumans.

Litten is not a tiger.

Cyndaquil is super debatable and literally the only argument you faggots have for it is "hurrr fire mouse".

Fennekin is not a fucking dog.

I doubt they're going to introduce another snake starter. The only argument is if it was several gens from now but that's iffy at best.

There's already a fire horse, and besides autists like yourself, nobody actually wants a Ponyta reject just so retards can say the zodiac was fulfilled.

By this line of thinking you could almost shoehorn any Fire starter into fitting the zodiac.

Look at what's supposedly left, like the snake and the rabbit. Some reptile will be chosen for the next Fire starter and you faggots would call it a snake, meanwhile a kangaroo is selected for another gen and suddenly OH SHIT GUISE IT OBVIOUSLY REPRESENTS THE RABBIT.

>No one ever claimed it had to be exact

Which is why your theory doesn't have any strong evidence to support it. Once you start going "W-well it LOOKS like it!" or "W-well it's SORT OF related!" then you start backpedaling yourself into an endless cycle of logical fallacies.

Foxes are still canines, so it works still. How many times do we need to tell you this because your thick skull gets it?
>>
>>26249466
Fox and dog arent much of a stretch. They're in the same family.
>>
>>26248900

A sea lion and a walrus.

>>26249513
What fallacies? Foxes are in the same family as dogs, cindaquil is refered to as a mouse. We have a fire tiger and next gen it's going to be another related animal on the wheel. How many times does this have to happen before you realize it?

>>26249566
Calling a fox a dog it's a big fucking stretch

It's literally like calling a monkey human

And there really isn't much separating us from monkeys, but there's less physical differences between dogs and foxes than us and monkeys.

Alright, let me give you retarded fucks a biology lesson.

The scientific term for "canines" is CANINAE, which foxes do not belong to.

Foxes belong to the VULPES family, not the canine family. Both caninae and vulpes are derived from the much larger family known as CANIDAE, which also includes completely distinct species like raccoon dogs.

In fact, foxes and dogs are not particularly closely related at all. They have more in common with raccoones than dogs genetically.
>>
>>26249819
That still doesn't make foxes dogs


Holy autism and denial

So close
>>
>>26249844
It's close enough that I wouldn't expect a normal person to throw this much of a fit over it.
The pattern is real. This new starter fully supports it. Anyone not obsessed with minor details can see it.
>>
>>26249844
Foxes are literally classified under the canidae family tree. They are more closely related to canines then they are to felines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox
>>
>>26249966
The difference between dogs and foxes is objectively not minor at all.

How the fuck did you people manage to graduate high school?
>>
Come on now, guys, it's obvious that every fire starter doesn't fit perfectly the animals from Chinese Zodiac, but the similarities are very strong, this is undeniable.
>>
>>26249727
People has warmed up to Meganium.
>>
>>26249994
>he doesn't realize how big the canidae family tree is and what species it includes

Did you know that foxes and dogs are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum in that family? Did you know that foxes are more closely related to raccoons than dogs?

If Fennekin never existed and there was a raccoon Pokemon in its place, would you claim it represented the dog?
>>
>>26250031
Well for one, my high school wasn't centered around the clarification of dogs and foxes.
Two, perhaps you can educate me as to the major differences that make this theory so unacceptable.
>>
We need to take this shit to /an/
>>
>>26250031
It has nothing to do with science or biology you idiot, it has to do with the shape and inspiration. Dogs and foxes are often considered to be closely related (even if they aren't biologically) so it makes perfect sense that a fox can fit in the dog piece of the zodiac.

The more you try to make this about actual biology, the more you come off as a fedora tipper.
>>
>>26250126
No, screw those nerds.
>>
>>26249994
Ok if you're going that far from the real facts you might as well say that they all are animals and put all the starters in the chart
>>
>>26247861
Being a zodiacfag is a good way to be.

>>26250148
Ok I came to the conclusion that you're either really fucking dumb or just baiting


Either way you're a nigger
>>
>>26250148
>Dogs and foxes are often considered to be closely related

Yeah, by dipshits
>>
>>26250125
Here it's one
The zodiac says dog and a fox isn't a dog


It's not that hard to understand that
>>
>>26250148
>Dogs and foxes are often considered to be closely related

By who? Retards?

If it's not about actual biology then what are you basing your argument on?
>>
>>26250125
>His high school didn't teach basic biology

Top kek you must be some kind of hick

>>26248487
>implying Fennekin isn't universally hated.
>>
Fennekin is a fox so I think it should go under ox.
>>
>>26250251
And my argument is that a fox is close enough.
Why would that not be so?
>>
>>26239131
Foxes are much more closely related to dogs than cats. Foxes are part of the Canidae biological family that includes wolves, foxes, jackals, coyotes, and domestic dogs.
>>
>>26250310
Because you're a retard and a fox isn't actually close enough at all

Care to elaborate as to why?

>>26250410
Read the thread anon
>>
>>26250345
Yes it is. As has been repeated over and over, it don't have to be a dog, it just has to be inspired by the dog part of the chinese zodiac, which Delphox is.
>>
>>26238772
Its not a tiger yet.
>>
>>26250423
But it's not inspired by a dog, it's inspired by a fox

Get it right
>>
>>26250427
it won't become one either

Delphox is a fox, but it's inspired by the dog. It's not hard to underrstand.

That's what Japan taught me when they pumped out a bunch of lactation-themed art for the last Year of the Ox.

I'd be much more willing to believe it if you could use some standard as evidence instead of literally anything you want.

For some its the first stage, for others its the final, for some you use the pokedex and ignore what the animal actually is, for others you ignore what the dex and what the animal actually is and just say good enough. We don't even know of litten is going to evolve into a Tiger yet, and cats are very specifically left off of the zodiac because the rat fucked them over.
>>
>>26250493
>muh zodiac

If they wanted something inspired by a dog, how hard is it to make a dog pokemon? Not very.
>>
>>26250421
I did. The argument seems to be "They're not closely related enough to count." and I'm curious about the specifics.
>>
>>26248781
>>26250520
>>
>>26250265
You'd be surprised. Most people know a fox is a fox, and a dog is a dog, but they're considered rather similar in a lot of regards, primarily in how they look.

Most people don't know the specifics of biology and don't really care for them. Hell, people still aren't inclined to believe that dinosaurs had feathers. If you asked a person which they think is closer related to dog, they go by looks almost all the time.
>>
>>26250570
Because maybe they thought it was close enough?
>>
>>26250588
If you ask someone they will problaly say that you should drink 2 liters of water a day
That doesn't make it true
>>
>>26250493
If that was it it would be the dog pokemon, like Cyndaquil is a mouse pokemon. I am ok with the zodiac theory, but Fennekin is a fox not a dog
>>
>>26238772

I assume in cases like Fennekin GF decided to take liberties, I'd say this whole pattern thing its inspired by the Zodiac rather than being based on it
>>
>>26250570
Maybe they wanted to be creative instead of just making a dog pokemon? How come you anti-zodiacfags never think of that? Oh, that's right, you're too delusional to understand that the fire starters are inspired by the chinese zodiac.
>>
>>26249834
only a retard thinks fennekin is a dog
>>
>>26250617
The point is not that it's true. The point is that for quite a majority of people, a fox really is "close enough" to a dog to make the zodiac thing work. Only people on /vp/ are dysfunctional and autistic enough to argue like this.
>>
>>26250666
Well then if they didn't make a dog pokemon then it doesn't fit in with the zodiac, does it?

Face the facts anon, your precious zodiac has been broken since gen 6

Baby tigers are cubs
>>
>>26250666
Ok so let see if I got it,they made a fox because they didn't want to make a dog

Even through a dog it's on the zodiac but not a fox they made it a fox


But while that they also wanted to make it based on a dog but it's a fox not a dog
>>
>>26250666
How is it being a fox any more creative then it being a dog, if we go that route then Charmander fits the snake because lizards and snakes are reptiles
>>
>>26250703
I highly doubt that most people who know what a dog and a fox are would say that a dog and a fox are the same thing
