Next, another dog Pokémon is [[Arcanine]]: like [[Houndoom]], it is very bulky and muscular in body structure, with a long, distinctly dog-like muzzle. | Next, another dog Pokémon is [[Arcanine]]: like [[Houndoom]], it is very bulky and muscular in body structure, with a long, distinctly dog-like muzzle. | ||
Now, foxes, which are canids (specifically vulpine), although comparable to Sylveon according to some of you (based on the ears???), are also very different. I don’t believe you can use the ears in any Pokémon to identify its species, because with most Pokémon, the ears seem to be extraordinarily designed, and in some cases have no connection to the rest of the body structure (note Houndoom’s horns.) | Now, foxes, which are canids (specifically vulpine), although comparable to Sylveon according to some of you (based on the ears???), are also very different.

Another point about the extraordinarily long ears of the [[Eeveelutions]] to consider is this: they may not be explicitly cat-like, but they are not really fox-like, and especially not dog-like, either. As a matter of fact, the extraordinarily long ears of [[Eevee]] and its evolutions are more rabbit-like than anything (but no one even considers this obvious feature). | |||
Let’s compare Sylveon to real, confirmed fox Pokémon (vulpines), such as [[Fennekin]], [[Braixen]], and [[Delphox]]. [[Fennekin]] and its evolutions have very distinct, long pointy muzzles. Sylveon clearly lacks such a long fox-like muzzle. Sylveon’s muzzle, as I have pointed out, is very blunt and catlike – not at all bulky, long, or even remotely canid in appearance. The ''[[Fennekin]]'' family is based on Fennec foxes, but [[Sylveon]] and [[Espeon]] are clearly not, based on their feline body and facial structures as opposed to the canine/vulpine body and facial structures of the [[Fennekin]] line. | Let’s compare Sylveon to real, confirmed fox Pokémon (vulpines), such as [[Fennekin]], [[Braixen]], and [[Delphox]].

I think that it is far too general to state that Sylveon and Espeon are merely “mammalian”. It is also inaccurate to place “foxes and dogs” before “cats” in Sylveon's origin section, as if this Pokémon resembles a canid ''more'' than it resembles a feline. That is incorrect if it is indeed a ''combination'' of the felid-canid species. In that case, since it is more ''feline'' in overall appearance, feline should come first. Who’s being biased here? | I think that it is far too general to state that Sylveon and Espeon are merely “mammalian”.

I am only trying to post accurate information based on the obvious physiological traits of the [[Eeveelutions]]. You do want this Wiki to contain accurate information, don’t you? Let’s keep our emotions out of this. It’s not about favoritism at all. It’s about accuracy. --[[User:Fireball the Victini|Fireball the Victini]] ([[User talk:Fireball the Victini|talk]]) | I am only trying to post accurate information based on the obvious physiological traits of the [[Eeveelutions]].

P.S. Just to let you know, I am well aware that I have just as much right to edit this page as you do. But I am going to be courteous and await your response to your suggestion of discussing it on the talk page. If I don't get a courteous response back from you in 24 hours, then I will exercise my right to edit the Wiki page as I see fit, based on my thorough analysis of this Pokémon’s physiological traits. --[[User:Fireball the Victini|Fireball the Victini]] ([[User talk:Fireball the Victini|talk]]) 00:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
