I agree with you about Cyndaquil, it's based on an echidna or shrew, which look like rats but aren't that close, but Charizard is clearly a dragon, and foxes are close enough to dogs to fit in.

Charizard is a fire breathing lizard with wings. It's not a dragon. Japanese dragons are associated with water and storms not fire. And Charizard's Japanese name Rizadon is made up of the Japanese words for Lizard and Flying.

Also even though foxes are in the same family as dogs they are much more similar to cats.

Lapras was able to learn Solar Beam via TM22 in the original Pokemon R/B/Y but not in any of the later games. This means that a legitimate Lapras from the 3DS VC versions of R/B/Y may be refused by the PokeTransporter and not be allowed into the 7th gen games because the later games see it as an illegal move.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulpes

Vulpes is a genus of the Canidae. The members of this genus are colloquially referred to as true foxes, meaning they form a proper clade. The word "fox" occurs on the common names of species. True foxes are distinguished from members of the genus Canis, such as dogs, wolves, coyotes, and jackals, by their smaller size (5–11kg) and flatter skulls.

So very cat. Much meow.

The cat-like feliforms and dog-like caniforms emerged within the Carnivoramorpha 43 million years before present.[5] The caniforms included the fox-like genus Leptocyon whose various species existed from 34 million years before present before branching 11.9 million YBP into Vulpini (foxes) and Canini (canines).[6]:174–5

I would also like to know how foxes are somehow closer to cats than dogs.

Part of the reason that the Green, Red, and Blue versions were so glitchy is that they did not have any error-checking mechanism to make the game stop if it, say, started reading the player's name data as an encounter table. It was allegedly removed to make room for Mew. Ironically, Mew can only be obtained in Red and Blue in the U.S. by exploiting one of the (many) glitches that can occur due to the lack of an error-checker. Mews caught in the VC-version of the games are flagged as "illegal" and thus non-transferable. Because Nintendo hates fun.

There is evidence that a Shellos-like pokemon existed as an idea as early as in the design stages of Gold and Silver, but it did not actually appear in its final form until 4th generation(Diamond/Pearl).

Arcanine can learn Teleport in R/B/Y

Quite a few odd, non-Psychic Pokemon could learn Teleport from that TM in R/B/Y, like Shellder and Magnemite. I remember during my most recent playthrough of Yellow, I taught it to my Voltorb to use with the Mew Glitch because it didn't really learn any more useful attacking moves besides Thunderbolt and Explosion anyways. Of course, I deleted it once I got HM02 for Fly.

Which reminds me: guess who can learn Fly?

Foxes are canids. They're not particularly distant cousins of dogs/wolves. Only slightly more distant than Coyotes and Jackals - both of which would easily be described as dogs.

Cyndaquil is literally called Mouse Pokemon

Charizard is absolutely a dragon wtf is wrong with you

And your "charmander is a salamander" argument is kind of busted considering Chameleons and "Izards" are reptiles.

Besides, the anti-Zodiac crowd got BTFO by Gen 7 being blatantly a tiger
