Oh my god... they showed Flareon in the new trailer for Detective Pikachu, and it looks like this 
It's like they got inspiration from you.

So Flareon, and fire types in general, have always been dear to my heart. Seeing this... it actually makes so much sense and it looks PERFECT. I cannot believe the amount of detail in this and how realistic. I am in awe. Plus it's Flareon and I want one even more now! Haha.

{Ooc; I like it but shouldnt Flareon be somewhere less cold?

No, Fire types are strong against Ice and Flareon have thick coats to naturally protect against cold

Makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a higher than normal body temperature.

Its a fire type and has thick fur, its pretty much built for that kind of weather

I mean, it's a fire type, so it's bound to be more than okay, but why is it in the snow? And why isn't the snow melting?

Fire types don't radiate heat, they are however warm-blooded and can easily control their body temperature, more so than other warm-blooded animals.
- if fire types did 'run hot', it would make less sense for them too live in a desert or by a volcano as they would overheat.
- They wouldn't live in places where they could easily set things ablaze, they would simply destroy their habitat. So forests or Savannahs would be out of the question.
- Snow makes excellent camouflage for hunting. Most fire types seem to be carnivores/omnivores, so they would need to live in areas where there is plenty of food, good camouflage but cant burn a forest down.
- If we look at Flareon for an example of a mammalian fire type, it has very thick, bushy fur. If we take out human breeding from the equations, we are left with the idea that they evolved to have thick fur naturally. Thick fur is only grown in cold areas in order to control their insulation if they were anywhere hot they would overheat, especially as most canines cant sweat.

I agree with that explanation, but does that mean that ice types live in hot areas, or would they still live in colder areas? I personally cannot decide, so perhaps both

Well, there wouldn't really be many 'wild' Flareon, most would be created in captivity. But just because one fire type has adapted to live in a colder environment doesn't mean they all do. Same for Ice types, most probably live in colder regions as it means their attacks would be more effective (not melt right away) it entirely depends on their anatomy

I never would've pictured Flareon (or any kind of fire-type) living in an environment like that.

Why not? It makes a lot of sense if you really think about it. Let me explain
- Fire-types are strong against Ice types, so they have no weakness being in the snow.
- Being fire types, they can easily regulate high temperatures and stay warm in the snow. Really, if fire types did 'run hot', it would make less sense for them too live in a desert or by a volcano as they would overheat.
- They wouldn't live in places where they could easily set things ablaze, they would simply destroy their habitat. So forests or Savannahs would be out of the question.
- Snow makes excellent camouflage for hunting. Most fire types seem to be carnivores/omnivores, so they would need to live in areas where there is plenty of food, good camouflage but cant burn a forest down.
- If we look at Flareon for an example of a mammalian fire type, it has very thick, bushy fur. If we take out human breeding from the equations, we are left with the idea that they evolved to have thick fur naturally. Thick fur is only grown in cold areas in order to control their insulation if they were anywhere hot they would overheat, especially as most canines cant sweat.

Okay, I can see your point after reading all of that.
My main reason for my original thought was that, as a fire-type, it would do better in a warmer/hotter-climate, where, I imagine, would be a lot easier to make fire than it would be in a colder climate.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not if their fire is chemical based (which it most likely is being biological). Chemical fire burn pretty hot and are generally hard to put out. And as I said before, any fire type with fur, especially this thickness of fur would live in a colder region, purely because fur is designed to retain heat. So Fire-types like Flareon, Arcanine, Vulpix, Ninetails etc lean more towards living in colder regions. Saying that it doesn't mean that's a rule for all, of course they can essentially live anywhere. Realistically, there probably aren't any truly wild Flareon in the first place as it would seem unlikely that Eevee would hunt out Firestones, and is more likely an effect discovered by human intervention.

You definitely seem extremely knowledgeable about the Pokémon-franchise.

I have to be, plus zoology in general, everything I do in a picture has to be informed with lots of research

That also makes a lot of sense.

Nice, it makes perfect sense that Flareon would survive in the cold!
