Animals that aren't Pokemon yet...

[Adam Levine]

Ok,
So how about:
Kakapo
Shoebill
Chupacabra
P.S., Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are dogs.

Not exactly. Raikou is clearly based on a saber-toothed cat. Entei and Suicune have both canine and feline characteristics, so it's hard to tell if they're one thing or another.

But still, I like those above things that Pokemon should be based on, particularly the chupacabra. I think it could be a legendary, since chupacabras are mythical creatures.

And speaking of mythical creatures, maybe a griffin? It would be interesting as to how GameFreak will make a Pokemon based on one; it could be another pure Flying Pokemon or have another type to accompany Flying.

Somehow, but Raikou is a legendary DOG.
How about:
Stegosaurus
Turkey
Sponge
Island Silverside
Lemming
Arctic Hare

Actually, those 3 are known as the Legendary Beasts. While "dog" is a common fan-term for them, it's obvious that they're based on cats mostly (Entei = lion, Raikou = Saber Tooth, etc).

I think a sponge would make an interesting Pokemon if it was in a diving area! Something like the Pokemon that you could only get by shaking trees, like you have to harvest it off the ground and then battle it or something. :3

 

[Kung Fu Ferret]

We seriously need more dinosaurs, IMO. Like a Carnotaurus.

 

[WillowWolf]

What about a narwhal? I haven't seen any narwhals.
I agree with the dinosaur notion. They may not be alive anymore, but there's 'God' pokemon that created everything, so why not dinos? Plus, there are Candle, Lantern, and Chandelier pokemon ... which I think aren't very alive either xD

What Digimon Kaiser said xD

 

[Killjoy]

As a fossil Pokémon, I want a Giant Sloth

 

[Kung Fu Ferret]

This. And maybe a Sabertooth.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I want a Dolphin. :( As a generation 6 starter most preferably. But whichever works. That's about the only animal that isn't really covered, but maybe go into specific bird types? :3 If so, Alexandrine parrot and Weiros.

 

[agdragonrider]

There's not a cockerel. There are birds aplenty yes, but it occurred to me the other day whilst making a little Pokémon themed movie and I needed one to crow and wake everyone up (this was pre-generation V).
I ended up making a Miltank moo, but it didn't have the desired effect :-/

Ho-oh is NOT a turkey! It's based on the Eastern styled Phoenix (whearas Moltres is based on a westernized version, or a firebird rather). The magnificent tail is reminiscent, though, of a peacock, which are famed and regarded with adoration in Eastern culture.

The 'Feng-Huang' is the Chinese version of a Phoenix, and the Japanese version is actually called the Ho-Oh, and is the Rainbow bird. I guess they thought no one would realise... ;)

 

[Pokepawnd]

There is nothing quite similar to a Gila monster - a big slothful, poisonous reptile. Arbok doesn't count – he is a snake. What do you think?

 

[Little Oshawott]

As already mention I love to see a lemur as a Pokemon, and maybe a koala.

 

[Lake Rodary]

I'm pretty sure Heracross is based on a Beetle. However, I haven't seen a Badger or Hedgehog like Pokemon yet.

Shaymin was a hedgehog, at least in land form. It was more of a terrier in sky form.

Ok, guys, I got this.

-Praying Mantis= Syther
-Hedgehog= Shaymin (land form)
-Mamoswine is a mammoth
-wolf= Mightyena and Poochyena
-Zorua and Zoroark are non-ninetailed foxes
-I believe cyndaquil is a hedgehogish or echnida pokemon as well, but Quilava and typhlosian are based on badgers I believe.
-not sure if this was mentioned, but espeon is a bakeneko
-lion= shinx evo line
-loch ness= Lapras
Did I miss anything?

 

[psycodragon]

Hey Lake! Okay back to subject. They should have Pokemon based on microscopic animals like amoebas. They could have poison types.

 

[Chaos Dragon]

i think there should be some more variants of what we already have because alot of things keep being brought up that they are already made, but if they made some different birds and things like that i think it might help, and also if they didnt give them all the same stupid normal and flying combo.

which brings me to another point of having more typing combos, like if they made a new bird and given a new typing it would be pretty awesome in the begining like ground and flying or something like that (i know there is gligar already)

This is more or less what I wanted to say; there are Pokemon based on animals I like, but I don't like their aesthetics/looks/style. Like for instance, some of my favorite animals are Canine, non-domesticated Feline, and serpents, yet aside from a few Pokemon that represent those kinds of animals (which seem to only be Arcanine and Entei), I don't really like the rest of the designs (or in some cases, I may like the Pokemon, but I don't think it's a proper reference to an animal, like how I do like Zoroark and Nintetails, but I think they could do other designs based on fox Pokemon), and when it comes down to Serpentine animals, I much prefer the western Diamondback Rattlesnakes over the eastern King Cobra, and there's nothing remotely close to a Diamondback Rattlesnake, or a Rattlesnake for that matter.

 

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

Zigzagoon is a raccoon, hence the name . . . And Zoroark is a wolf.

Nooooo! Zoroark is a fox. Zoro means fox in...Spanish I think. (Either fremch or spanish, I took those in school and remember that word)

Also, we need a pokemon based off of dragon's bones (Or dinosaur) Could be Dragon/Ghost type.

Also, we could use a tiger...I don't think we have one yet...

 

[GalladeX]

i dont think there was a kangaroo yet. :)

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

What about a...

Angler fish
Cuttlefish
Cardinal
Blue Jay
Trapdoor spider
Burrowing Owl (ground flying perhaps?)
Siamese Cat
Black Widow
Fruit Bat
Moose (Stantler is a reindeer, right?)
Manticore
Barnacle

I don't know if these have been mentioned already, if so, sorry.
@Houndoomed Luxray is a lion (although I originally thought it was a wolf :/)
