Brother Entropy posted:i don't think foxes or whatever the hell typhlosions are supposed to be are on the chinese zodiac I think people claim that Typhlosion represents the Rat because it's kinda sorta a badger maybe? It's a dumb theory.

it's called the chinese zodiac theory because all the animals of the chinese zodiac evolve to become bipedal fighting types

Hence why I want the theory completely destroyed when they show that Gen 8's fire starter is a bear or a weasel.

all divine beings in chinese mythology eventually turn into bipedal animals that are eternally on fire and hit things. read a gotdamn book sometime, y'all. it's all in there.

Brother Entropy posted:i don't think foxes or whatever the hell typhlosions are supposed to be are on the chinese zodiac Foxes are canines, therefore Fennekin counts as the dog. This isn't the only franchise to use a fox instead of a dog because it's cooler that way, I can think of another mon franchise that did it. Cyndaquil is the rat. It's the "Fire Mouse Pokémon". The zodiac theory is still true no matter how much it may annoy people. We'll get another addition to it, maybe tomorrow, maybe in September, depending on how nice Game Freak feels. Though honestly the only one I wanted was the tiger and we got that one last gen so I'm not too interested, even if it's the type that gives me my name.

What the hell is the Chinese zodiac theory, is it that all the fire starters are a Chinese zodiac animal? Because cats are not actually on the Chinese zodiac if that's the theory.

Cats are actually part of the Chinese Zodiac, as the animal that was late to it and thus was left out of it. It's unimportant anyways because Litten represents the tiger, not the cat. But yeah, that's literally it. Every Fire starter is part of the Chinese Zodiac. In order: dragon, rat, rooster, monkey, pig, dog, tiger. Thus, we're left with ox, rabbit, snake, horse and goat as possible starters for this gen.

Man, it feels like we JUST got the gen 8 starters revealed. Gen 8 knocked it out of the park with all three starter lines too, really hoping gen 9 manages to continues the trend of interesting typing and good designs.
