Implicating furret → ferret
Link to implication

Reason:

Furret = ferret pokémon.

She wouldn't be considered a ferret.

Given we use the rodent and mouse tags for pikachu, this seems fairly reasonable.

Actually, the consensus was that Pokemon shouldn't be tagged as other species.

One species per creature should be enough, unless it's a hybrid. Higher taxonomic ranks such as rodent work in some cases, but pikachu should never be tagged as mouse. And furret aren't ferrets either; tagging them as such would be like tagging coyotes as dogs.

I could potentially see implicating it to rodent, but I'm not really sure it's necessary or helpful. I don't search Pokemon often though :P

Yup, most recent admin comment.

Related, the species you mentioned (forum #140928) are still implicated. Do you think we should push for these to get unimplicated?

Denied: because it's been decided that implicating pokemon to other species isn't a good idea. They are their own species. Despite often being inspired by real life species, or a mix of them, the resemblance isn't always very strong. Even when a feral version is similar enough to another real life species, implicating them would cause tagging problems whenever a pokemon was being drawn as a different species or as a human. Pokemon tags are also unique from most other species tags, because they are both a name and a species. Now, the wikis for them can include a link to the pokemon that's similar-ish in the "see also" section, as a related tag. But we've found that creating actual implications between them and a real life species that's sorta-similar just doesn't work very well in practice because pokemon tags just function a little differently to other species tags.
