@aescling some pokemon map so 1:1 onto a real animal that you can just say "x is a y". like, rockruff is a dog, that's true enough that you can just say it

eevee and it's evolutions i don't think you can do that for. there's some fox inspiration there but enough other stuff is going on that i don't think there's any animal you can just say "glaceon is this animal" for
