Probably because foxes are somewhat feline in appearance. They're still more closely related to dogs, though.

A fox is fine too. :)

Mew is more adorable than Lilligant. If you want to battle about this we could make a poll. I'll bet Lilligant won't win first.

Of course she won't. She's a fifth gen Pokémon, and most people would hate her solely because of that.

There is a disappointingly large portion of the fandom that says that everything after Gen I isn't "real Pokémon." There's also a slightly younger portion of the fandom that says that everything after Gen II isn't "real Pokémon."

I've known a few hating everything beyond Gen I. It's such hipsterism. "Anything beyond Gen I is too mainstream for me."

I've never actually seen it as an extension of hipsterism. It's always that they're wearing several inch thick nostalgia goggles.

I've seen the nostalgia goggles wear off a bit on at least one. They still thought the newer ones sucked but at least they accepted the new ones as legitimate.

Pokémon really seems to get nostalgia worse than any other franchise. Even the Zelda fans who hated Wind Waker simply because it had a Link who wasn't an orphan are better than Pokémon fans.

Now that you say that, I have not seen any more nostalgia-obsessed fanbase than of the Pokémon franchise.

Yep. It's pretty bad. It seems to be getting better though. Either that, or the nostalgia-obsessed are just getting quieter. I'm actually finding a significant portion of people who give the newer gens a chance and even like them. That would have never happened five years ago.
