:: It isn't just color scheme, it is also appearance and powers. It is as much a reference to Carbuncle as Tyranitar is to Godzilla. It's like saying Solid Snakes Code name in MGS2 isn't a reference to ''Escape From New York'' because Snake Plisskin is a copyrighted character. Also, need I bring up the Power Rangers reference from ORAS? Shiny Espeon = Carbuncle, it is requiring you to ignore 6/7ths of my proof and bend over backwards to dispute it. The reference is transparent, obvious, and true. [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 08:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC) | :: It isn't just color scheme, it is also appearance and powers.

:::Color scheme is it's appearance, and having psychic powers are just a coincidence. And just because they look the same does not mean that one is based off the other, it just means they're both based off of the same thing.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#AB2813">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#C87365">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#26649C">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#729ABF">ire</span>]] 08:35, 29 March 2016 (UTC) | :::Color scheme is it's appearance, and having psychic powers are just a coincidence.

:::: "Color scheme is its appearance" is exactly what I mean by "bending over backwards" in an effort to make your point. You are saying that the similarities, including many small, distinct, and ''deliberate'' details, including those added later, are a coincidence, and that response is not satisfactory anywhere. A nod to another game from the same publisher is hardly a scandal, it's an Easter Egg. An obvious and transparent one.

A nod to another game from the same publisher is hardly a scandal, it's an Easter Egg. An obvious and transparent one. Creatures based on the Carbuncle of legend have been made in every color of the rainbow, so the choice to make Espeon green like the one from Final Fantasy, the only well-known Carbuncle at the time, is an obvious nod.[[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 08:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC) | ||
