      That’s actually been a leading theory for a while, but it and the asteroid are disagreed upon. I don’t think the volcanic theory was popular when the gen 2 games were made though.

      Either way, I think Cyndaquil just represents the small rodents such as mice, squirrels, moles, gophers, etc that were able to survive the asteroid or volcanic extinction event because of their small size and being able to hide underground. These small rodents would then evolve into the present day larger mammals.

      So lemme explain. at the end of the Permian- Triassic there was a massive extinction event. We aren’t 100% sure what caused it but it’s believed to be a combination of super volcanoes erupting and the meteor impact. There is strong evidence in the rock layers to support both of these, and the combo hit would explain why so many creatures died. These volcanoes would’ve probably triggered extensive earthquakes and tsunamis killing off more animals. Hope you learned something from this

      If you asked people what killed the dinosaurs, 'meteor/asteroid' was the answer anyone gave noone knew anything about volcanic eruptions, all of the tv shows and movies at the time said it was. It was uncontested, were no competing theories on it. Nothing in pop culture anyway (Because I know you'll probably google some scientists article written in the 60's as "proof")
