What animals do you want to see as Pokemon, here's what I want to see in Generation 6:
Yeah; I figured a dolphin Pokemon would be out by now...
Kangaskhan
It is too a kangaroo (it has one of my favorite names, btw)!
As for
T-Rex, this guy might fit the bill:
Robot Dragon sounded awkward when I first mentally pictured it... I think Aggron is the closest we'll get to it:
I want to see more dinosaur fossil Pokemon too (Stegosaurus comes to mind in particular).
I also want to see a flying fish Pokemon (not Gyarados, but a Pokemon based on the actual flying fish species).
A
Stegosaurus Pokemon would be freaking awesome! :D
Kangaskhan
is based on a kangaroo, regardless of whether or not you want to believe it. I figured this out when I was eight on my first visit to the Safari Zone. It appeared and I thought "Hey look a Kangaroo."
Considering that I was a complete imbecile at the age of 8, it's shouldn't be that hard of a concept to realize that it's
based on a kangaroo. That doesn't mean it has to look like one 100%. Likewise, Ryhorn and Rydon are based on rhinos, but they don't look very similar.
Also; does this look like a chicken to you?

Yeah...as you said, a few Pokemon are more "based off animals" rather than being faithful "Pokemon" interpretations... And indeed,
Blaziken is one BA chicken! :cer_nod:
- Peacock
- Platypus
- Dolphin
- Panda (aside from Spinda)
- Unicorn
- Llama
- Cheetah (FYI, the new purple cat in 5th gen is a leopard, the Japanese name even has the word 'leopard' in it. And yes, there is a difference between a cheetah and leopard, go study your ecology.)
- Arctic fox
- Emu
- Tazmanian devil
- Gargoyle
- Lion (I disagree that Shinx's line are lions, but rather lynxes. And Entei speaks more canine, IMO.)
Ho-Oh is arguably considered a peacock by some people...
I consider
Entei a lion, but I still call it a Legendary Dog because "Dog" sounds cooler to say than "Cat". :cer_nod:
Well, at least we got a
liger:
Arcanine! :D
Rapidash is arguably a unicorn due to its horn, but that's really the only resemblance...
As for a more faithful lion, this Fakemon
might work :\:

I'm hoping for a Mosquito Pokemon and a Housefly Pokemon that can piss people off in battle. :cer_laugh:
Also, whatever these guys are, they should be Pokemon as well! (alpaca/camel and samurai...bug, I think)
I'm glad my wish for a
zebra Pokemon finally came true in Generation V! :D
I'm also hoping for cooler scorpion and manta ray Pokemon in the near future. (Drapion looks a bit strange and Mantine's appearance doesn't seem to adequately convey the viciousness of rays to opponents).
And for those of you clamoring for an "actual" :cer_blankstare: kangaroo Pokemon, in
Pokemon Garnet Version's Fakedex, there
used to be 2 awesome Fakemon named
Smakaroo and
Jakaroo that were more similar to kangaroos. They looked like the rowdy, boxing-gloved kangaroos, though. Still, they looked great. Once the Fakedex is updated again, I assume those 'roos will be back. I envisioned them being
Fighting/Dragon typed, though...
Additionally, I think the white Pokemon here would make for a good kangaroo Fighting-type pre-evo of the aforementioned
Smakaroo (although it was originally intended to be a wallaby, not a kangaroo):

Finally, I'd like to see an
Archaeopteryx Pokemon one day. This guy would be a perfect candidate!
