:::: "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. 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) | :::: "Color scheme is its appearance" is exactly what I mean by "bending over backwards" in an effort to make your point.

::::: No, it's not bending over backwards. The color scheme is part of its appearance, just like the gem on its forehead is part of its appearance. Both being green is just a coincidence, it does not mean Espeon is based off the Carbuncle from FF.--[[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>]] 09:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC) | ::::: No, it's not bending over backwards.

:::::: You are literally ignoring everything I am saying and am now invoking logical fallacy. You are saying that something that shares the same color, long ears, fuzzy looks, ruby head gem, blue eyes, and later-added reflection powers(Features of Carbuncle popularized by the FF incarnatioh) in yet another effort to make the reference is just a coincidence. You are in denial. Is there some reason that you cannot see that it is indeed a harmless nod to another great game franchise?
