Re: Pokémon X & Y Starter Discussion
Except Poliwrath is still a tadpole (and thus another lazy Gen I design he's just a buff Poliwhirl)
I want to see Fennekin evolve into something more clearly feline than canine so that certain fans will stop waving that "the fire starters are all based on the chinese zodiac!" crap around like it means something. No, Cyndaquil is not a rat, it's an echidna. Yes, the dex says it's a "fire mouse", but mice are not rats either.
That being said, a sphinx-like evolution would be cool. :U
Journey to the West, not Chinese zodiac. And there was really no canine in JttW, or at least none that were notable enough. So I think the chances of another fire-type JttW character is less likely this time, though many believe that Froakie will be JttW's Kappa character. In before Poliwrath clone accusations.
And besides, there was a cat in the Chinese zodiac once, part of a myth where the rat tricked it out of the group.
The accusations already started the moment he was revealed as another water frog, poor thing.
Not to mention there's a tiger in the group as well so the argument could be made that it took that position.
