User blog comment:Mewkat14/The things we think of when we think of Sonic..../@comment-1045899-20110901161855

I don't really see much connection with Amy and Sakura. The designs vary so much that it's rather insignificant details. Espeon has no fire powers. And I believe it's well known the SEVEN Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic is a direct reference to the SEVEN Dragonballs and Super Saiyan... People arguing about it to be fair just never bother looking up details. Such as which came first.

I think for Cosmo/Kirlia it'd be more obvious if you pointed out the basically look exactly the same? (Also Kirlia isn't a Grass type, Psychic type)
