>tfw fire starter is a fucking cat and not in the Chinese zodiac
I didn't want to believe it, fellow Zodiacbros. I mean the signs were obvious in the last gen when we got a shitty fox instead of a based dog, and now we're left with a fucking raggedy ass kitten.
It's over. I hate to say it but we lost.

litten is a kitten and it's the size of a house cat, by the time it gets it's final evo it will be tiger sized
>>26269566
Tigers are basically cats, but bigger. Don't worry, we Zodiacbros has won.

Both the Japanese and the Chinese differentiate between cats and tigers. In fact, there's a Chinese legend that cats were specifically excluded from the zodiac because they were tricked by the rat.

So yeah? Doesn't mean that GF can't get creative about it. They don't have to obey the zodiac completely.

>what is occam's razor
If they wanted to base the starters on the zodiac, they would've done exactly that. They wouldn't say "well a rat is too obvious, better make it an echidna that evolves into a badger instead, that's more creative." Quit grasping at straws faggot.
>>26269897
This 100%
>>26269897
Or maybe they didn't want to design a rat, but wanted to follow the zodiac pattern still.
So they used a badger, which is reasonably close enough to rats that it makes sense.

>Badger
>Close to rats
the fuck taught you biology

>They don't have to obey the zodiac completely
Don't be a fucking idiot. If they're not obeying the zodiac then they're just not obeying the zodiac, there's no pattern if the pattern was broken.
Reminder that you're the same retards who tried to convince everyone that the Grass starters had a prehistoric theme until Chespin came along.
>>26269566
What if it evolves into a Tiger?
>>26269972
The japanese call them both nezumi, which is where it's close enough. It has nothing to do with biology.
>>26269897
Fucking this.
We have the same thread yesterday. OP is trolling. Everybody ignore it.

>OP is trolling
Doesn't matter though because he's right. Zodiacfags have been thoroughly blown the FUCK out.
