Would you consider fire type Pokémon to be bioluminescent, or is that classification only suitable for Pokémon equivalents of real world bioluminescent animals like Lanturn or Volbeat/Illumise?

Er… does it matter?

I sort of think the distinction is totally academic; to my knowledge, there are no real-world animals that just persist in a natural state of being on fire, so I’m not sure whether a real-world biologist, presented with a creature like that, would react by calling it ‘bioluminescent’ or by coming up with a new word altogether.  I mean… if I’m being called upon to settle a bet or an argument or something… OED says bioluminescence is “the biochemical emission of light by living organisms,“ and, well… fire is a chemical reaction, all right, so I guess I’d say "yes, they are.”
