Eevee is an evolutionarypokémon not a dog

It is not polite to reply to "Pikachu!" with "Bless you."

Eevee is a mutt

Horned frogs are frogs, they're also what you would see in a pet store called "pac-man frogs"

Not sure about berries.

The worms I'm not too sure on but googling them brings up disturbing images so I'm not bothering to research

I'd say raspberries and blackberries can be considered berries. They're aggregate fruits, but the individual drupelets are still berries. Depends on what definition you use. Just like how the tomato is considered a culinary vegetable, but a botanical fruit.

And the word worm doesn't really have a scientific definition; so any invertebrate that's long and without notable appendages can be called a worm; bristleworms, earthworms, flatworms, nematodes, tapeworms – they're all worms.

ringworm's still not a worm

It's a fungus

Uh what? No they're not. Berries come from only one flower, not several. Aggregate fruits are not berries.

Also, many vegetables and starches are fruits too: corn, tomatos, cucumbers, etc.

The "horned frog" in America is actually the Texas horned lizard. I had a colleague explain this to me

TCU should be the lizards after all

And I thought the Zelda thread got weird...

Well Pokemon is getting more scientific with its ecology, so it's fair

I thought berries were classified based on if they grew from bushes or vines while fruit was off trees and vegetables are stuff that are either a whole plant or grown underground (brocoli, lettuce, potatoes) and tomatoes and stuff being debated still to this day.

Peanuts are not nuts.

A perk of their unnuttiness is that they're completely safe for dogs. And they love them.

So don't be afraid of sharing a few with your suicune, entei and raikou

That's not even what that means.

To be fair, I'm not even sure what this thread means anymore.

Actually, the lithe/slender body structure reminds me of a cheetah's build. The "diamonds" on its hide in turn could represent the spots.

I can see how they could be considered more dog-like, but they always came off as cats to me.

I'll settle for cat-dogs, though.

Maybe instead of trying to limit some Pokemon to being a specific animal, you should just consider them their own species, and instead classify them in the proper scientific categories. Eevee would most likely be listed under Canidae, as it shares features with foxes, but can't be outright classified as such (unlike Fennekin and Vulpix)

Shush you. We are applying real world logic to a fictional setting. It always works!

@BlatantlyHeroic That would work.... until we remember that they put eggs and that in the pokemon world... a wailord can breed with a skitty.

Well, the games kind of imply that eggs are not the "natural" way Pokémon breed in the wild.

It's a daycare oddity. Spontaneously appearing eggs that no one knows how they came to be.
