It's a shame that Shinx and company are such common Pokémon D/P, considering how they're based on such a mythical creature in the Sphinx. On the other hand, unicorns kinda got a raw deal too.

... I'm fairly sure it's not a sphinx.
ReplyDeleteThe name comes from shine and probably lux, because it can make its fur shine with electricity.
On another note, I never noticed the increasing leg-stripes before.
...Also on a different note, Squirtle isn't actually a turtle like you suggest. It's from Squirt and Fertile, duh.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm serious though. The only thing it has in common with a sphinx is, well, being a lion.
ReplyDeleteYeah, on second thought, the Sphinx didn't even have a mane.
ReplyDeleteA sphinx Pokémon would probably be pretty cool though. Ground/Psychic maybe?
