>>59274218these guys are so frickin' awesome
>>59274235>No Chuckle signature
>>59274218Cyndaquil is an echidna
>>59274384>>59274437rat
>>59274485Zodiacfags can fuck off.
>>59274384Cyndaquil is a shrew.Sandlash is the closest to an echidna.
>>59274485We don't care if they put "mouse" on anything and everything. Even if the animal isn't really one.So we do have an echidna, and it's Cyndaquil. The only ones who disagree are the idiots who desperately want to keep a theory alive.
>>59274582>shrews don't have quils>cyndaquil and echidna have quils
>>59274384>>59274437Fire MOUSE Pokemon retards
>>59274218WW PikacloneElectric/Ground?
>>59274384Yes.>>59274582Shrews don't have quills retard.
>>59276174stop acting white in japanese "mouse" is a broad term>porcupine harinezumi or spike rat >While echidna is Harimogura or spike mole
>>59274384>>59274437So glad I'm not the only one that thought this. Named my cyndiquil in my latest playthrough of Crystal "Knuckles" because of this
>>59274218What about an Echidna (the mythological being) Pokemon?
>>59274384>>59274437>>59274597Cyndaquil is explicitly a porcupine. >>59276174Name references yamaarashi (porcupine)
cyndaquil is a """mouse""" which in japanese COLLOQUIAL and UNDERSTOOD meaning is "small mammal", which can and DOES include everything from mice, rats, shrews, porcupines, hedgehogs, and YES, even echidnas.Cyndaquil is the fire mouse pokemon (referencing the specific japanese mythical hinezumi, a literal fire MOUSE (explicit mouse this time)) AND a porcupine per its japanese name, and it's obviously got shared traits from everything related there; it's a "generic small mammal monster"If you call it an echidna and someone argues against you then that person is a retard>our system thinks your post is heckin spam!!!!manually replying to all of you, here's your honorary (You)
>>59274384This was back in the day when pokemon were often more a mishmash of various animals rather than specific animals or objects.Like for example Eevee, and the Legendary beasts it was unclear whether they were canine, feline or vulpine and could honestly be any of them. Cyndaquil was just "baby rodent with hedgehog/porcupine/echidna features.
>>59276970It doesn't physically resemble a porcupine. However, it has the same head as the echidna and also has quills.
