Shouldn't the mystery dungeon bit in the biology be in the trivia section?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">Handmaiden 101</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 19:50, 11 June 2015 (UTC) | Shouldn't the mystery dungeon bit in the biology be in the trivia section?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">Handmaiden 101</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 19:50, 11 June 2015 (UTC) | ||
== Studio Ghibli a Possible origin for Eevee == | |||
I know that if someone references pop culture as a pokemon origin in the biology section it will get removed due to the legal implications/speculation. | |||
However, This topic has been brought up alot in Japanese forums in that Eevee shares many similarites with the Studio Ghibli Fox squirrel which debuted in | |||
1984. | |||
Below is a link comparing Teto the Fox Squirrel(1984) to Eevee(1996): | |||

They both share the same body type: standard quadruped build, mane, large ears, and fluffy tail. | |||
What makes this coincidence special is the creator of this character is none other than Hayao Miyazaki. He is venerated in Japan as one of the greatest animators | |||
who ever lived. Foreign critics have given him the moniker "The Japanese Walt Disney". | |||

Teto the fox squirrel(kitsunerisu/キツネリス) debuted in Studio Ghibi's first ever movie production "Nausicaa of the valley of the wind". This movie marked the creation of | |||
Studio Ghibli. This animation studio has been cited as on of the most important forces/inspiration regarding anime and pop culture. This creature is said to be | |||
based on fennec fox, much like Eevee is speculated to be. | |||

I brought this up in your forums before here is the link to the thread: | |||

I apologize for disturbing bulbagarden staff, but this reference to pop culture seems too blatant considering who Hayao Miyazaki is viewed in Japan. | |||
