Just saying, but there's a difference between having a headcanon and asserting your theory as fact despite the counter-arguments. Not accusing anyone here of anything. Just lamenting how tired I am of seeing people around the net, especially on places like YouTube shout down anyone who doesn't...

Cyndaquill's JPN name is literally a play on "Fire Porcupine", the PokéDex listing it as a mouse is likely a case of a pun lost in translation since there are various classifications of the Rodentia genus (which porcupines are part of) such as Jinezumi and Togarinezumi (with Nezumi on its own...

That also sounds like a Western theory since the Bulbasaur line are based on frogs, not dinosaurs as their English names might suggest.

It's also not hard to make arguments as to why they might have settled on certain animals in the design process for the Fire Starters. Like Infernape being Sun Wukong requires it to be a monkey, or a soccer themed starter would bring to mind a rabbit since those are iconic for being fast with...

Honestly? If Litten had some kind of tie to either Wrestling or fighting in general from the get-go I don't think nearly as many people would have been put off by Incineroar. :unsure:

You say that like it's a bad thing. :p Purugly fans represent!

I mean, it may not be a starter but Copperajah is still a thing. :unsure:

They look very ugly. :sick:

Considering it looks suspiciously like a theropod, I suspect Fuecoco will in all likelihood end up as a dinosaur in its final evolution. However I can dream of an awesome fire crocodile that doesn't look stupid (looking at you Feraligator). :unsure: Something along the lines of these...

Apropos of nothing, the straight line between the red and the white in Fuecoco's design on his underbelly keeps making me think he's related to Voltorb in some fashion. :confused:

Sure, but the modern sport of “soccer” was invented in England so it is ingrained into the culture in more ways than just popularity. :unsure:

Unlikely, the Gym Leaders and Champions in Galar all diligently follow the flower theme naming - even ones who didn't start that way like Bede (Beta vulgaris) and Marnie (Rosemary). There's no logical step in singling out Leon's name as a hint towards an unrevealed next Gen Starter.

I know I said this in one of the earlier threads when the Starters first showed up, but stick a fork in the Chinese Zodiac, it's done. :coffee:

I'm not as averse to the new Starters as when I first saw them, but I still haven't quite warmed up to them yet. I can definitely see Sprigatito staying quadruped in order to differentiate it against Incineroar, maybe some kind of alternate big cat like a panther or leopard since lion and tiger...
