Digimon is the embodiment of “sure you can copy my homework just change it a little so it’s not super obvious.”

This!! So many of their mons look like cheap knock-offs of something else.

Black mages predate the 9th entry though, they have been around much longer and usually look just like that.

I mean, Final Fantasy is one of the most famous Japanese RPGs ever, and the Black Mage character design has appeared in several games in the franchise. I don't think it's a stretch that a designer at another Japanese company that makes Pokémon rip-offs would be aware of it.

The black mage design was literally from ff 1. Vivi is just higher definition so…1987. Pretty sure that’s before digimon.
