:And as I pointed out, "mouse" and "rat" are used as umbrella terms for rodents in other languages, two of which are Chinese and Japanese. And no offense, but saying the category "doesn't count" is utterly obtuse. If a specific name was picked, there has to be a reason related to the conception of the Pokémon. Especially when in the original Japanese said category is exactly the Japanese name for the huo shu. [[User:Horo-kun|Horo-kun]] ([[User talk:Horo-kun|talk]]) 10:08, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

::Just because the Japanese category for Cyndaquil is the exact same as huo shu, doesn't automatically mean that it's a rat. That's just a coincidence. The design of the Pokémon is much more important than the category, especially when the design does not match the category. Sure, "rat" could just mean "rodent", but we can't really say that when Cyndaquil has clear physical traits of porcupines/echidnas.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EBC600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EBC600">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#D8B600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D8B600">ire</span>]] 10:27, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
