Omanyte/Omastar - Ammonite.

Cyndaquil - Echidna (Long-beaked echidna). I think it's just generally based off all the echidna species, as I can't decide which species it resembles the most.

Quilava - I think of it as some sort of weasel-like creature, to be honest. Maybe a Least Weasel, except without a tail. However, due to the fiery "quills" and Quilava's supposed habit of turning its back on the enemy to show off its flames, I also see elements of the Crested Porcupine (one species shown here). As far as I know, Crested Porcupines will turn their backs on their enemies as well, in order to attack with the quills there.

Mightyena - Brown Hyena, except that it's gray instead of brown (most likely just due to it being a dark type...and the shinies are brown, heh).

Zigzagoon - Tanuki, or Raccoon Dog. This is going mostly by its Japanese classification of "mamedanuki" ("healthy tanuki" or "loyal tanuki").

Yeah, I usually just go in and add the posts containing information regarding Pokemon; I'll sort it out once I add the next batch.

Meep no! o o; If you put it that way, Suicune, the guardian of the North Winds, is more of an arctic wolf or something.


My god, you can research. I'm too tired to check up on them now, but I promise to give feedback on them soon.
I'm disappointed though, won't these people do more than just remark on the thread?
It does appeal more to ice than water, despite its being an water type. Suicune is a unique species; its referred to as the Aurora Pokémon. As you know, the aurora borealis only occurs in Northern Hemisphere, and the aurora australis only occurs in the Southern Hemisphere - both Artic and Anartic regions. Based off of that factor, I can see where the creators had the idea of a wolf in mind, though they made it a water type to coincide with the other Legendary Beasts - fire, thunder, and water.

I concur, I do appreciate the compliments, however to merely post saying, "Good job. This is cool!" is rather pointless within itself.

I shall incorporate all of your additions within my post.

First:
Cacturne is a combination of a Saguaro Cactus and a Scarecrow.

I can't believe you haven't come up with this one yet:

Relicanth: Coelacanth! This matches like so: Coelacanth are a species of fish that date back to the prehistoric times. The Relicanth is a Pokemon that apparently is the same. And must I mention the name pun? Relicanth, Coelacanth.

Psycho March 28th, 2006 2:20 PM

Max, read my first post. It's already been stated. The whole Relicanth and Coelacanth pun is not too hard to figure out. -_o;

New addition:
Beedrill is based off of the Asian Giant Hornet.

Girafarig, I'm sure that most of you are thinking "Giraffe!" Well, you're slightly right. Girafarig is a combination of a Giraffe and the Okapi.

o x;; I could swear I didn't notice it there ... |hits head|

Well um, since Girafarig has two heads, won't we need something that matches the tail-head-thing? A protective mythical blob must exist somewhere. ^ ~

Psycho March 29th, 2006 4:28 PM

That's quite hunky-dory, as I have to make check of my list, just to review that which has already been completed, lest I should actually go through the agitation of recrudescing another Pokemon. XD

Negative, Girafarig's head is designed to act as a rudimentary brain, that will continue to function a "alarum" for it during the torpidity of the main brain: The second head isn't actually capable of thinking. It's a basic appurtenance just as Alakazam's spoons are; I don't surmise that there are anything indefinite deriviations behind it (unless anyone has any). The second head isn't autarchic, it's connected to Girafarig as a functioning body component; thus why it isn't of any preponderancy when basing Girafarig. ^_^

An Okapi seems the best

:t003:Dark Venusaur

Psycho March 30th, 2006 1:13 PM

Please due refrain from making such short, pointless posts; only post if you have something to add or ameliorate. ^_^

Victreebel is probably based off of the Nepenthes. For more information and pictures you may click here. The same could also be said for Bellsprout and Weepinbell.

I should request a sticky for this. =/

Psycho

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 30th, 2006 1:38 PM

The 1st one is better and more beautiful. Maybe you should make a Sticky
Off TopicDon't say that my post are pointless because they aren't

Okay, I apologize if I offended you in any way, but please don't post anything else that doesn't add to this thread's initial purpose.
