I've just spent the last few hours or so working on a plot for a team (excluding legendary Pokemon) designed completely around Egyptian mythology. Tell me what you think:
- Anubis
or
- Ra
- Bastet
- Osiris
- Set
- Hathor
Reasoning for Pokemon choices:
Lucario - Anubis has a Jackal head and Lucario has a Jackal head...'nuff said.
Charizard - Ra is the Sun God with a falcon's head. While Charizard may not have a falcon's head, he's got the Sun God part down pat.
-or-
Pidgeot - While Charizard eminates the Sun God aspect of Ra, Pidgeot certainly has the falcon and Egyptian look better. Also, Amore kindly referred me to Bulbapedia where it says, "Its eye markings strongly resemble the Sun/Sky gods of Egyptian mythology; Ra and Horus."
Weavile - Bastet is a cat. Weavile is a cat with an Egyptian headdress. Match made in Sinnoh?
Houndoom - Osiris is Death, but instead of going with a ghost type, Houndoom popped up (thanks Amore). Houndoom cry is stated to sound like the coming of the Grim Reaper.
Sandslash - Set is sometimes described as an aardvark and is god of the desert. Sandslash anyone?
Miltank - Hathor is represented by a cow and is female, Miltank...yeah.
