Yo, got some major revelations regarding the new Regional Growlithe's Origins and some possible theory of the design forward.

Origin: Chinese guardian lions

So Lion Dogs (Komainu) is Growlithe's original design/origin and was more based on the term "Lion Dog".

I’m only noticing now that Hisuian Growlithe’s design not only takes a lot from the beta Arcanine design from Red/Green (which is expected because its line was always based on komainu) but it also resembles its pre-evolution from beta Gold/Silver with the swirly tails and hair!

A komainu Arcanine is everything I want man. I can only hope it looks like this 😩

The next batch of adoptables will be about mythological creatures. The first one is a Komainu, a lion-dog guardian. Three more creatures are incoming~
Check the first batch of adoptables (dinofolks) on my previous tweets~

Haciendo una pequeña corrección. El Growlithe Normal se basa en Un Shiza y el Growlithe de Hisui en un Komainu. Los 2 son guardianes de los Templos en China y Japón. Shiza tiene boca cerrada y Komainu tiene la boca abierta. Growlithe normal es Shiza y el de Hisui es un Komainu.

Komainu vs Shisa 🧵

There seems to be a tad bit of confusion about these two wonderful stone creatures when talking about our new lovely Pokémon doggo

(Left Shisa right Komainu)

So both obviously have similar builds and shapes and purposes.
Both typically serve as protectors

Hisuian Growlithe is such a good design. It takes clear direction from growlithe's original inspiration in both design and typing (Komainu/Shisa; lion-dog statues) It also just fits in really well with the sinnoh Pokedex aesthetic? All around good boy. First regional I'm sold on.

- Hisuian Arcanine 2.0-

Alternate scheme or now that I think about it > Shinny ✨

I simply flipped its colors around for a more Komainu vibe. Traditionally, the statues tend to have red lines for eye lids and lips so yeah…

after that Pokemon Presents, Hisuian Arcanine inspired by komainu statues has taken over my MIND

The main reason that Hisuian Growlithe appeals to me is that it reminds me of one of the mascot Spectrobes called Komainu. Which is based off of the actual concept of a Komainu. Which is also what Hisuian Growlithe is based off of. Really what I'm saying is that I'm thrilled

Pandemic buzz cut.

I’m kidding, I see some komainu like inspo. 🤞 Arcanine will look bomb
