>>58413598What causes people to concoct these schizophrenic theories?
>>58413598At least you could have added the rabbit to the image.
>>58413598We already had a dog! We needed a Snake, Ox, Horse, and Sheep.
>>58413598Real Zodiacbros never left. Some variants have a crocodile on them.
Crocodiles are just snakes with legs if you think about it.
>>58413598*Gen 8 Fire starter
>>58413598The problem is an Ox, Horse and a Sheep are all way too similar to be back to back fire starters across multiple generations. It's over bro
>>58413598Why the fuck were people shoehorning Skeledirge into the snake category anyways? Crocodiles and snakes have almost nothing alike outside being reptiles.
>>58413851Because zodiacpedos made that schizo idea of theirs their entire personality for over a fucking decade and now that it’s been irreparably disproven their puny brains are short circuiting because they have nothing to live for now.
>>58413702They aren't. >Crocodiles have massive jaw strength, Snakes don't.>Crocodiles are an aquatic species, most snakes aren't >Crocodiles are archosaurs, Snakes are squamates>Crocodiles don't swallow their prey whole, Snakes do>Crocodiles blink, snakes don't>Crocodiles aren't venomous, most snakes are>Crocodiles don't shed their entire skin, snakes do>Snakes have forked tongues, Crocodiles have normal ones>Crocodiles have long snouts, snakes have stubby onesA better comparison to a snake would be a lizard which crocodiles aren't.
>>58413635It was a fun pattern someone noticed and I think people were hopeful that GF would catch on and indulge the pattern faggotry. Always found it kind of weird that so many people shit themselves over the forced hate for it.Unfortunately the croc ruined it. A real shame.
>>58413851reptilelike how delphox goes into dog for being a canine
>>58413851It was mostly shitposting, genuine zoodiac speculation more or less died with Skeledirge.
>>58413598Really? What about the other 2?
>>58413975this
>>58413598Ignoring the zodiac stuff for a second, why is Cyndaquil a fire rat? Like yeah it has the Pokédex classification for it but it looks nothing like one, it’s almost entirely a fire echidna down to the facial features. I genuinely do not get this, even if you say it’s based on both.
>>58414351Fire Rat refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huoshu , not a "fire rat" like Pikachu is a thunder mouse, if that makes sense. It's specifically the mythological creature.
>>58413851Some people were thinking it was the bull, because male crocodiles are called bulls.Delusion at best.
>>58414351hinezumi. In japan, hinezumi is a fictional fire mouse. Cyndaquil, being a porcupine or a shrew or a hedgehog, whatever, is actually called a "whatever-mouse" like how in english we might call an animal like a flying fox a fox even though it's a bat. So it was a natural progression for them.
>>58413902>Always found it kind of weird that so many people shit themselves over the forced hate for it.It's the same thing that happened to the monkey gym leaders and the ninja dudes from Plasma. It's one thing when people go "hey, maybe" and then another when people get increasingly deranged and insistent about it. It shouldn't matter, it doesn't matter, but when people see people getting so hardline about it "definitely for sure being a thing and you're a fucking idiot if you ask why Delphox is actually a Dog," then people will naturally have a reaction. And that reaction is "you're being a moron, I hope you end up being completely wrong and have to fucking eat it."
