Arcanine is more suitable for me. Its one big fluffy puppy :D aww I want one now. Ninetales is alright, by I would perfer it over Arcanine if gamefreak didnt give it such a poor movepool. Ninetales has a lot of potential, I just wish it could live up to its counterpart.

I love them both, but I voted for Arcanine. Mainly because I'm an avid dog lover.

I really do like Arcanine, but Ninetales always came off as way more elegant and mysterious to some extent. Not to mention a lot of Arcanine's back sprites really bother me. The spiky hair back sprites are the ones I'm thinking of.

Anyways I always loved Vulpix and Ninetales. I remember I was first introduced to Vulpix in the anime when Brock was taking care of one for a while and I thought it was the most adorable Pokemon in the world. Then when I saw the episode where Ash challenged Blaine I was introduced to Ninetales and thought it was the most amazing Pokemon there was. So that's where my love for Ninetales all began in case you were dying to know.

Not to mention the addition of the many legends and myths surrounding it make it that much more interesting. Being able to cast a thousand year curse on you, being able to live for a thousand years, and possibly being made up of nine spirits or so are all nice tidbits to have been added to it. Compared to Arcanine who is pretty much known for only its speed, Ninetales comes off as a bit more impressive.

I love both, they're two of my favorite Pokemon.

But even so, Arcanine is my single favorite Pokemon, so it gets my vote.

Oh God, I've always had a tough time deciding between the two. I s'pose I'll go with Arcanine. I do like the design of both, but Arcanine gets the vote because its better movepool allows it to be a more flexible battler than Ninetales. Sorry, Ninetales. XD

I have always been SO torn on this!

Regarding real animals, both wolves and foxes are among favorites. In fact, they ARE favorites. Mostly because they are both in the canine family. (And all animals in said family are among favorites.) And they are definitely at the top of the list, only under the domesticated dog.

Regarding Pokemon, Fire types are a big favorite. Only one I favor more are the thunder type. They're both fire types, obviously...

I've never been able to choose a favorite. BUT since you can only vote for a poll once, I think if I had to pick... I'd say Arcanine. I usually go for the cool looking Pokemon if I go based on looks and not anything else. And since they're so similar in every other aspect, it would boil down to looks. Ninetails is more "elegant" and Arcanine is more "cool" looking. So... yeah, Arcanine.

Lmao, I personally prefer to battle with ninetales. Arcanine has nice appeal, with its offensive stats and all, but I'm not an offensive player. :3

Personal preference is shiny ninetales, too, xD it looks so cool :D my first RNG breed was actually a shiny vulpix x) my SECOND was a growlithe xD

I love them both so much! D: I honestly don't know if I could decide.

Well, I guess I'd have to go with Ninetales here, just because I've used it more than I've gotten to use Arcanine. :/

It tosses its enemies around with agility. It uses all its limbs to fight in its own unique style.

The one and only elegant Ninetales for me. I love elegant Pokemons the most and Ninetails is one of the few. ;)

Ninetales by far. It's beautiful, intelligent, and has an awesome design and backstory. The original created from nine wizards when they fused, and able to live for a thousand years? Psychic illusion powers and the power to curse? It's an amazing Pokemon. Plus, it's prevo is so much cuter than Growlithe. I like Arcanine, but for me it's not even close.

Ninetales is my second favourite fire type, so yeah...

I also like how it can live for upto a thousand years and if you grab one of it's tails your given a 1000-year curse.
