    OK, I'm not sure if this belongs here, cuz its half pokemon and half not. So if it isn't, I'm sorry and please move it.

    So Naruto and Pokemon...

    Naruto holds a demon called the nine-tailed fox... right?

    And Pokemon... everyone knows the pokemon Ninetales!

    Could it be related? Please post your opinions
     
    both based off of the same mythical animal. it was not created by the naruto or pokemon guys. nobody owns kitsune
     
    they're BASED off of it. both of them take differet content from it. just like the christian saints/god/jesus, kitsune is public domain. nobody can own it =D
     
    Well even though ninetails, and the kyubi demon are related by myth, the two shows have nothing in common by their story, obviously.
     
    Nine-Tails and the Demon Fox are based of the Kistune.

    'Nuff said.
     
    kumo, i think i already posted that (though nobody decided to read/listen)
     
    OH XD


    I googled it XD

    It came up with Digimon 'Kistunes' though. o.O
     
    "kistunes?" ..................huh?
     
    I call them Kistunes because they're based on the Kistune. Don't ask me why..
     
    i mean i belive it is actualy spelled Kitsune, not kistune no matter how you translate it. if i'm wrong, please tell me.
    EDIT: oh, you refer to the kitsune based stuff as kistunes. odd, but i kinda like the name.
     
    I dont think there really that alike. Insepct in the sense that they're both animation. I think something that is more like Naruto is this game none as Maplestory-Becuase they're is a Job called Assasin/Hermit that both wear the same Naruto hats and they both throow the same knive ninja stars. Pokemon isnt really like naruto becuase pokemon isnt that much real "Manga" Pokemon is more of a kid show it does not really have such intimate plot.
     
    The only thing Pokémon and Naruto have alike is that they both come from Japan and that Volkner (8th gym leader in D/P) looks like Yondaime Hokage. =P Kyuubi and Ninetales are both based on the same myth, not ripped from each other.

    Exactly, it´s based on a mythical japanese creature the kitsune.

    I´ve seen 4 or 5 animes/games with this kind of creature.
    Besides Pokémon and Naruto, I´ve seen this creature in Digimon:

    With Kyuubimon.

    Ragnarok:
    There´s a monster in Ragnarok called nine-tail.

    And another one that I don´t remember right now...:P

    Besides that, there are other pokémon based on other mythical creatures, like Ho-oh and Arcanine.
    Ho-oh is based on the Phoenix (wich is used in a lot of games and animes, like Final Fantasy, Digimon, Pokémon, Harry Potter, Monster Rancher, Medabots, etc, to list some XD)

    And Arcanine is based in a mythical chinese creature: Shisa, a cross between a dog and a lion:

    And although its a canine pokémon, Arcanine is also based on a real life feline: the Liger (a cross between a lion and a tiger):
    [PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon and Naruto... Alike?


    Arcanine comes from the words canine and arcanos (I named my Arcanine like that ;))

    I hate when I give this kind of explanation, but here you go, and I hope you find it interesting. ^^"

    omfg... it's thread like this that show just how badly anime gets ruined when it gets translated into English... since when are Naruto or PKMN related at all? The fact that they both have a nine-tailed fox shows nothing of a resemblance at all. Ninetales isn't even widely regarded as being a super popular character anyway... Since coming to North America, Naruto has been ruined, and turned into a little kids show.
     
    think i dont know that? i watch very few translated animes... i had to learn japanese, i have some japanese relatives somehow. and yes, the english dubs ARE terrible.
     
    yeah, Kyubii in Japanese means Ancient fox, or something of that nature, but yeah, they're both based upon the same ancient animal legend
