This can be said for Gen 2 as well. Echidna's, crocodiles, and Brachiosaurs all lay eggs.

"Foxes are part of the Canidae biological family that includes wolves, foxes, jackals, coyotes, and domestic dogs."
>inb4 Charizard isnt a Dragon!!11
>inb4 Cyndaquil isn't a rat!11!
Zard is clearly based off a Dragon, and Cyndaquil is the Fire Mouse Pokemon, closer to a Rat than even Fennekin is to a Dog.
There's nothing that can be said to disprove it. We've got 7 gens in the book for the theory.
Unless you want to wait til Gen 8, when we get a Rabbit, Ox, Snake, or Horse. But then the theory is still bust, right? :^)

>Echidna
Educate yourself. Cyndaquil is a Tenrec.

Starters theme only started in Gen 5 par the Fire Zodiac theme.

You don't, though. You have 6. Litten isn't a tiger yet, and no amount of memery will make it into one until further starters get revealed.
Furthermore, regular cats are specifically not part of the zodiac. And 'tiger' is pretty specific. If it's anything -other- than a tiger, you lose.

All fire types are Zodiac animals.
All grass types WERE dinosaurs/ancient animals, but i guess they pissed that away.
All water types have decent designs.

Thank you for that interesting analysis, OP. I hadn't noticed those patterns before. This information will enhance my starter choices from now on.
>>26314075
I figured gen 2 was just prehistoric things in general
>>26314554
>grass and fire starters
this is what I figured, I guess we'll have to see Rowlet's final form, it might be based off of something ancient...
As for water starters their theme is that they don't have a "special theme." They're just modern animals that can survive on land as well as in water. So grass is historical, fire is mythical, and water is present-day.
