An explanation of why the fire type starter zodiac theory has been broken numerous times in Pokemon before Generation 9

 I have heard people say that the Fire Type Starter Zodiac theory may have been broken with Generation 9. I have therefore chosen to explain why this is not so.

Table of Contents:

• What is the Zodiac Theory?
• The Charmander Line
• The Cyndaquil Line
• The Torchic Line
• The Chimchar Line
• The Tepig Line
• The Fennekin Line
• The Litten Line
• The Scorbunny Line

What is the Zodiac theory?

While you may know this already, I would like to define it anyway. The zodiac theory is a theory that states that the bodies of the Fire type starters or their evolutions are based on the animals of the chinese zodiac. If you do not know or remember some or all of the animals of the chinese zodiac, they are listed below. I found this list of information at https://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/social_customs/zodiac/.

Zodiac Animal	Chinese Name
Rat	鼠 (shǔ)
Ox	牛 (niú)
Tiger	虎 (hǔ)
Rabbit	兔 (tù)
Dragon	龙 (lóng)
Snake	蛇 (shé)
Horse	马 (mǎ)
Sheep	羊 (yáng)
Monkey	猴 (hóu)
Rooster	鸡 (jī)
Dog	狗 (gǒu)
Pig	猪 (zhū)

Now I will begin to explain when this supposed "rule" has been broken before by taking an in-depth look at each fire type starter, from the Charmander line to the Scorbunny line. Note that the Fuecoco line has not been included because, at the time of this post, there is too little information to comprehensively analyze the line.

The Charmander Line

The above image was obtained from https://www.dexerto.com/pokemon/how-to-get-charmander-charmeleon-charizard-in-pokemon-brilliant-diamond-shining-pearl-1708362/.

This is the line that I feel may have the most controversial explanation. In it, I will contradict nearly everything that is said about Charizard. I shall now begin.

Charizard is viewed by many as being among the original pokemon that are dragons. However, it is not technically a dragon pokemon, for its pokedex category is the Flame pokemon. Therefore, it is not a dragon. Its type reflects this. In fact, the pokedex category for every pokemon in the line with the exception of Charmander is the Flame pokemon. This includes all alternate forms of Charizard as well. Therefore, the zodiac theory does not apply for the Charmander line.

The Cyndaquil Line

The above image was obtained from https://33.media.tumblr.com/1fad6a74d173753ed6dae16d92b4434f/tumblr_mim28dxOZq1s3bxc6o1_500.gif/.

This is an example that may be less controversial than the last. There are examples of how the Cyndaquil line does not fit in with this Zodiac theory. Notice the references to hedgehogs in the evolution line. Cyndaquil. Quilava. I thought that Typhlosion did not bear any relation to hedgehogs, but hedgehogs are apparently part of the order Eulipotyphla. While Cyndaquil is the Fire Mouse Pokemon, both Quilava and Typhlosion are the Volcano Pokemon. Besides, mice are not the same as rats. Typical rats are in the genus Rattus, while typical mice are in the genus Mus. Therefore, the zodiac theory does not apply for the Cyndaquil line.

The Torchic Line

This explanation may also be controversial. Therefore, I sincerely hope you will not hunt me down because I have made controversial statements.

Many may classify the Torchic line as being more evidence for the zodiac theory. They would be incorrect for a number of reasons. The first is that no member of the evolution line's Pokedex category ever specifies that it is a chicken. Torchic is the Chick Pokemon, Combusken is the Young Fowl Pokemon, and Blaziken is the Blaze Pokemon. However, this sort of evidence is not enough. My next reason is that, even if you follow the not-so-subtle clues in the names, it would not be guaranteed to be a rooster. After all, approximately one in eight Torchic, Combusken, or Blaziken is female. A female chicken is a hen, not a rooster. One out of eight in the species would be a hen, meaning that not all are roosters. Therefore, the zodiac theory does not apply for the Torchic Line.

The Chimchar Line

The above image was obtained from https://levelskip.com/rpgs/Pokemon-Top-Six-Fire-Starters .
I did not think there was any evidence against the zodiac theory for this line, but the official Pokedex on pokemon.com proved me wrong.

Chimchar is the Chimp Pokemon. Chimpanzees are apes, not monkeys. Apes have certain characteristics that make them different from monkeys, such as the lack of a tail. However, Chimchar's evolutions are shown to have tails, nullifying this evidence. However, I still have some evidence. Monferno is the Playful Pokemon, while Infernape is the Flame Pokemon. None of their categories reference monkeys. Therefore, there is some evidence that implies that the zodiac theory may not apply to the Chimchar line.

The Tepig Line

I have no evidence against the zodiac theory for this line, so let us move on.

The Fennekin Line

The above image was obtained from https://aminoapps.com/c/pokemon/page/blog/fennekin-the-fox-pokemon/7GhP_u8DQaRjj2VbpJkjqB121jB8rVil

If your faith in the zodiac theory was not broken by my explanations of Generations 1, 2, 3, & 4, then it should be shattered by the time I reach the Litten Line. How does this pokemon in any way relate to the chinese zodiac? My friend told me that some say that it somehow bears some resemblance to a dog. How?????????? Its entire evolution line's category is the Fox Pokemon. The first pokemon in the line's name is literally Fennekin. A fennec fox is a type of fox with large ears that help it cool off. How does any of this information relate to dogs?????? Fennekin has large ears that vent out extremely hot air. Therefore, the zodiac theory definitely does not apply to the Fennekin line.

The Litten Line

The above image was obtained from https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/pokemon-sun-moon-starter-guide-best-pick-rowlet-popplio-litten-easy-alolan-trials-1592077

In Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, I would personally choose Popplio. If you do all the calculations based on type advantages and disadvantages for each starter, you will find that Primarina has 2 super effective types on Incineroar, Incineroar has 2 super effective types on Decidueye, and Decidueye has 1 super effective type on Primarina, not 2. Therefore, Primarina is the best choice because it has 2 super effective types on Incineroar while Decidueye, the fully evolved starter with a starting type that is super effective on its type, only has 1 super effective type on it. Incineroar is a mediocre choice because it has 2 super effective types on Decidueye, while Primarina has 2 super effective types on Incineroar. Decidueye is the worst choice because Incineroar has 2 super effective types on it, while it only has 1 super effective type on Primarina. Note that this calculation is only done based on type matchups, rather than anything else.

However, this is beside the point. I shall now return to this point. The Litten line could be viewed as not conforming to the Zodiac theory for a variety of reasons. The first is that none of them have a Pokedex category relating to tigers. Litten is the Fire Cat Pokemon. So is Torracat. Incineroar is the Heel Pokemon. The second part is that none of their names have subtle clues that definitely point to it being a tiger. Litten has a name that seems to point to it being a little kitten. Torracat's name appears to point to it being some manner of cat. Incineroar has a name that seems to show that it is some type of creature that roars. It has the power to incinerate its enemies(Incineroar, not the roaring creature). Therefore, the Litten line does not conform to the Zodiac theory.

The Scorbunny Line

The above image was obtained from https://pixelkin.org/2019/11/29/pokemon-sword-and-shield-starter-evolutions-revealed/scorbunny-evolutions/

While I do not have much evidence against the zodiac theory for this line, I do still have some. Therefore, I shall now present it.

Cinderace's name does not include any hints linking it to a rabbit. Cinderace is the Striker Pokemon, meaning that its Pokedex category does not link it to rabbits.

The Conclusion

This has been a long post. I started this post during the beginning of June this year. Now I am wrapping it up on July 26th. However, I was able to find at least some evidence to disprove the zodiac theory for nearly every single Fire type starter that exists. It was a long journey, but we made it.

The New Development Has Arrived!

 You may have seen ads throughout my blog. However, do not be alarmed. I was finally able to put advertisements on my blog through Google Adsense. This is the new development I mentioned a few weeks (possibly months) ago. This is an attempt by me to obtain revenue from my hard work. If you are annoyed with me for doing this, then I am sorry. However, I will not remove them. It took very much hard work and waiting to finally arrive here, and I will not give up that work for anyone. In other news, I plan to finally release Measure 5 of my book.

Color Mathematics

 I began to think about numbers mathematically tonight, when I thought about a strange unsolvable question. This question is the following: Which came first, yellow or green? Green comes from adding blue to yellow, while yellow comes from adding red to green. I substituted one into the other, leading me into this wide world of color mathematics. However, I will not grant you access to this knowledge yet. First, you must prove yourself worthy by figuring out the password encoded below. Then you must input this password into the page on this blog linked in the password.

New Update

 A new update will be released for Dapper Cat in the Arrival of the New Villains. It will have one minor change; the change of the appearance of the bouncy block under the A key. It will also include a new Hall of Music.

In other news, it has been discovered that there is a secret character change built into the game that allows you to access a new character in Dapper Cat in the Sewers of Fame. It can be found somewhere within. It is a helpful change.

New Dapper Cat

 Today is a traditional day for me to release a new one of my movies. However, I could not develop an idea for a new film in time. Therefore, I will attempt to compensate by informing all of you of a new thing I have recently thought of. It is the release of a new sequel to Dapper Cat in the Sewers of Fame, set around one year later. The trailer for it is in production. Therefore, I cannot tell you too much. However, the game and its trailer will be linked here. There will be no demo this time because the controls are identical to those in the previous game. It will likely be released sometime soon. One more thing I am authorized to tell you is that a cat with an Uhvw Ofea0ep will appear. This italicized text uses a code I made using the letters of the english alphabet and those of the greek alphabet. I found the respective letter(or letters) of the greek alphabet, then found what distinct english character(or characters) they looked most like.

You can play the game by clicking on this text. Note that you will only be able to play it once it is done being moderated.

This text will link to the trailer once it is released.

New Book Update!!!!!

 Alert: I will be temporarily enabling free access to every measure of my book in both text and audiobook formats. This will last until one week after I release Measure 5. Enjoy, readers and listeners.

The process has been completed. I am sorry for the wait, but it was hard to find time.

Oregon Trail Deluxe Get Rich Quick Scheme

 I have devised a scheme for becoming rich quick in the Oregon Trail Deluxe. I have included a screenshot of the results below. Before I began the scheme, I had 20 oxen, 11 sets of clothes, 1980 bullets, 3 wagon wheels, 3 wagon axles, 3 wagon tongues, 2000 pounds of food, and $2.

Here are the steps for the scheme.
1. Choose your occcupation(Merchant, Doctor or Banker would be preferable).

2. Buy 20 oxen, 99 boxes of bullets, 3 wagon wheels, 3 wagon axles, 3 wagon tongues, 2000 pounds of food, and as many sets of clothing as you want/can buy with the leftover money.

3. Go into the trade menu.

4. Ask for $200 or $500. If nobody is willing to trade at first, try it repeatedly until someone offers a good trade.

Notes on what is a good trade for $200:

Any amount of bullets is good. A trade for oxen will only be good if the amount asked for is < 10 oxen. A trade for food is only good if the amount asked for is < 1000 pounds. A trade for clothing will be preferable only if the amount asked for is less than 20 sets. Wagon wheels, axles, and tongues are unlikely to appear, but if they do, then any amount will be fine.

Notes on what is a good trade for $500:

For all things except clothing, any amount will do. For clothing, only accept if they ask for less than 50 sets.

5. Buy the amount traded back from the store. If you want to hoard clothing and did not choose banker, buy more clothing. Otherwise, just hoard the extra money.

6. Repeat until you reach an amount that you feel is sufficient for the rest of your journey. For me, that was $2000.

I have attempted to embed the Oregon Trail Deluxe in this post. If it does not work, the link is right next to the word "is" in this sentence. You can also find it on https://archive.org. Now I will be returning to my visit of the Capital City.

Video Migration

 Welcome back. You should note that I will now be removing every single blog post that only has video links on it, in favor of storing them all on one page. This will help me with my next development on this blog. You may want to look around all of my blog posts to get all of the latest information. The page for my book is exempt from this treatment. However, the audiobook versions of Measures 3 & 4 will be removed soon for all who are not followers of my blog. You may or may not enjoy my next blog development. However, I have many videos that are ready to release. Enjoy, readers!

Update: The video migration which I started a few months ago is complete! I have finished the process of inciting the spontaneous combustion of every single blog post that could be viewed as an empty post.

Reasons for the production hiatus

    Hello, everybody. I'm back. Sorry about the hiatus in book measure and YouTube video production, but know that I will be ending it soon and returning with a massive amount of measures of my book and videos that you may find interesting. Now, I will begin to explain the reasons for this hiatus.
    The first reason is that I was falling behind in writing the measures of my book. After all, I have to do school work, read books(which I find to be very important), and do many other things. With all of this work, I was beginning to fall behind. The second reason is that I was having trouble making videos on time. I only made Random Stuff Doing Random Stuff on the day it was released. The third and perhaps most important reason was the Milestones testing. I am a student, and I therefore need to take this type of standardized testing to be placed in good classes next year. To do well, I must prepare for the testing. If I must prepare for the testing, I will not have as much time to write measures of my book and release videos, resulting in me falling behind in these areas. For these reasons, I chose to have this hiatus. You can rest assured that there will be plenty of content waiting after the hiatus ends. For now, enjoy the currently available measures of my book, and don't forget to follow my blog to get unlimited access to every measure of my book. Also don't forget that my book is intellectual property, and that I therefore have intellectual property rights, including copyright. No part of my book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system, without explicit permission from the author(me).

Random Stuff Doing Random Stuff Release

 You have noticed this page while browsing the internet to find more information about my new movie and if I have chosen to delay its release. I have not! It will be releasing today sometime late. This is because I need to blur my face, and this takes time. But it will release soon! After a few months of anticipation, it has finally arrived. Enjoy the random things fighting against an old hero who is known as a villain in this movie. I might (might) even break the fourth wall. There is even an intermission, complete with 2 minutes of good music. Enjoy all this and many more things, including my new legendary in Pokemon Go. The random things have only begun...

Break for book measure releases

 I have a lot of things going on, so I have made the decision to take a break from releasing measures of my book. I will continue to make audiobook versions follower-only, but I will not remove the standard copies currently available. Video releases will cease to occur for some time, but you can expect a new video this Juneteenth.

Book Measure Release Delays

 Sorry about the delays in the release of Measure 4 of The Tale of The Musical Instruments and the audiobook version of Measure 3. I am very busy right now, but I will try to have it released soon. I may have to delay the release of Random Stuff Doing Random Stuff from Tax Day because I have a lot of things going on. Also, thanks for the 226 views yesterday. That is the new record for amount of views on a single day. In fact, it rivals the amount of views my blog got in the entire month of October. I have the feeling that this month may have the highest amount of views ever on my blog. In only the first seven days, it has almost caught up to the amount of views in the entire month of January. I will try to finish up Random Stuff Doing Random Stuff and the release of the pending things with The Tale of The Musical Instruments.

Dapper Cat

 Coming soon(as soon as Bloxels is done moderating it) to your device is a new adventure. A cat arrives in the Sewers of Fame, a once great sewer system ruled by a vicious Underlord. This sewer system was once ruled by a great dapper king, who was dethroned in a coup de etat by the Underlord... Or was he? Explore the sewers of fame and face off against all kinds of bizarre creatures, ranging from simple creatures like flying pigs, flying rats, flying mice, and land pigeons that can't fly, to much stranger things like flying hats, gigantic injections with wings, burrowing pigeons, and so much more. Unravel the secrets of this fallen realm on a quest to gain power and restore this sewer system to its former glory, accompanied by the great dapper king's most humble top hat, a powerful weapon for taking down the creatures that remain in this sewer system and have pledged loyalty and allegiance to the Underlord. Explore the controls with an extremely realistic demo that almost perfectly matches the first part of the Sewers of Fame. Play it when it comes out. It also has some good music and three foreign languages(French, Hawaiian, and German). Grab your top hat and explore the Sewers of Fame, all while unraveling the secrets of this realm and discovering things that should not be done. Wield that top hat of yours wisely... It just may be your doom.

April Fool's Day

 Did you know that I will be releasing my entire book tomorrow as a pdf?


































April Fool's!!!!!

Speaking of April Fool's, some of you may have missed today's special stuff on Blooket due to you forgetting, not having an account, not checking YouTube, or being banned for hacking. Yes. Some people actually do that. Anyways, if you fit into any of the categories above, you may want to watch my newest YouTube video, which describes the things visible on April Fool's Day on Blooket. Also, today, there was a Ditto event in Pokemon Go. However, that bears no relation to the topic of this page other than the day it occurred on. The link to my video is included below.
