    I always found it strange Growlithe acted so dog-like despite looking A LOT like a tiger. I'm not contradicting you like Growlithes always act to much like puppies, just found it weird cause I never met a stripey orange dog
    EDIT: *looks at avatar* Nevermind... :D


    PS: What is bulbasaur? Frog?

    Possibly.

    Based on my "reseach", those two are supposedly based on the Behemoth and Leviathan, in that order respectively.

    And Rayquaza is supposedly based on the Ziz. (Which resembles a bird, where Quaza doesn't)

    I'm confusing, huh? xP

    Yeah, tons of em are based on an animal of some sort. Some of them even have thesame name give or take a few letters, example is Mankey = Monkey.
    Ekans = Snake (read it backwards) this also works with Arbok. Just dunno if Kobra is spelled like that...
    Arceus = Goat (whoever's sig i've seen that in is a genius)
    Kricketot = Kricket
    Persian = Cat
    Empoleon = Penguin (Mine one are called a Pingu:P)
    Houndoom = Dog
    Girafarig = Giraffe (Another one that's cool to read backwards)
    Infernape = Ape
    I can tell you what any of them are based off. Just not some that aren't animals. Examples being Regi's and Giratina (Centipede?)

    hmm lots of the original ones were based of real animals but modern ones not so much

    most of them have already been gotten in the thread though, i've not got much more to add :(
