== 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.
