Is eevee supposed to be a dog or a cat?

the missing link between both families

It's a canid.

>>32152664
It looks more like a fox than anything.

>>32152664
it's an eevee

>>32152664
It's supposed to be an Eevee you stupid fagggot

>>32152664
It was inspired from a Fennec Fox.
Same with Fennekin

It's a fox cat. Some jap folk lore creature.

>>32152664
Why not both?

pretty sure it's supposed to vaguely look like a lot of different mammals to emphasize the theme of variability and adaptability

>>32152664
Tail always made me lean towards fox.

>>32152664
Look Mom, I posted it again!

>>32152664
It's a mix between fox, cat, and dog.

Alright, the thing people seem to not understand is that pokemon rarely are inspired by one source. Pokemon are created like how kanji are written.

>>32152664
He is a pokemon

>>32152664
Better question is if it's got a fortune cookie or cat puss.

>>32152664

None, it's just a generic mammal with traits from dogs, foxes, cats, and rabbits.

Is Incineroar supposed to be a tiger or a human?

It's almost like Pokemon can take inspiration from more than one thing

>>32152664
Tail and ears lean to foxes
The rest feels very kitten-like

it's a Pokemon. Something you newgenners can't understand is that most gen 1 pokemon attempted to look like fictional creatures instead of "literally an animal but let's draw it cartoony"

>eevee isn't "literally an animal but let's draw it cartoony"

>oddish
what

>>32155149
Don't forget Raticate, how is that not literally my mom's rat?

>>32152664
yes

>>32152664
the perfect hybrid of the two

>>32155130
Yes. Why do you think this thread exists, retard?

>>32155149
Show me an animal that looks exactly like Butterfree or Oddish. I'll wait.

Espeon is based on a nekomata/bake-neko (the same thing Meowstic is based on), so it's primarily cat-based

But Eeveelutions aren't really modeled after any particular animal, they're just elemental mammals

DID YOU JUST ASSUME EEVEE'S GENDER?
