 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
-.
-Here is a link comparing Teto the Fox Squirrel(1984) to Eevee(1996):

-[http://imgur.com/6p8Ldps '''Higher Resolution''']
-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 "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausica%C3%A4_of_the_Valley_of_the_Wind_%28film%29 '''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:
-[http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/what-animal-is-eevee-based-on.169228/ '''Link to thread''']
-I apologize for disturbing bulbagarden staff, but this reference to pop culture seems too blatant considering how Hayao Miyazaki is viewed as in Japan.

-:It's hard for most Westerners (i.e., editors here) to truly appreciate whatever fame Miyazaki has in Japan; moreso, what fame Nausicaa and/or Teto may have. That is, it'd be ''much'' easier if you could just find some source that confirms they inspired Eevee. (I'm not suggesting such a source exists (or doesn't) currently, only that it would help.)

-::I tried perusing official sources from Gamefreak(interviews/transcripts) only to find nothing other than fan/forum discussion regarding the subject of Eevee. It seems Gamefreak is secretive about their design process which is typical of most Japanese companies; I just wanted to bring up the similarities between Eevee and Miyazaki's Fox Squirrel. This is due to Teto being modeled after Fennec fox/vulpines which would vindicate fan speculation that Eevee and its variants are indeed vulpine inspired. Unfortunately, as I cannot find concrete information from official sources the thesis I typed above does not meet Bulbapedia's standard of sourcing. I am sorry for taking up your time.

 == Eevee is a tanuki? ==
 I noticed that the Origin section of Eevee's page lists it as being based off of a tanuki. How? Eevee doesn't even remotely resemble one. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 01:11, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
