Awesome! I love this thread already!
I love the "study" of Pokemon design origins.


Fearow:
An Anhinga [Picture]


Electrike/Manectric: Has the appearance much like the
description of a Raijū (a Japanese mythical monster) [Description 1 Description 2]
  • Note: I used Electrike's shiny sprite due to the fact that it most closely resembles the description of Raijū.

You should ask yourself this....
Would YOU want to see a Machoke without pants on....

What about Ditto, it isn't really based on anything... And neither is Arceus... (Arceus does though, act like an equine (Horse Like Animal))
What about Weezing?
Snorlax
Lucario
Drapion
Wevile
Magmar
Elextabuzz

Just putting out some suggestions for things to find, since I couldn't come up with anything...

It's called a Blobfish. It is found far under the surface of the water. It is a bottom feeder and thus does not need many structural body parts to move around. It doesn't have that many predators because it probably tastes really bad judging from its appearance :P

Oh! I guess I know never to ride in a deep sea sub, I hate creepy stuff like that...

Anyways, anyone got a pic of an item/animal that resembles the Pokemon I listed in one of my previous posts?

Axolotls don't have that obnoxious fin or that webbed tail.
Besides, Mudkip is obviously a mudfish.

Incidentally, I learned about axolotls on my children's programming way back when and I was delighted when they made Wooper.

I think its safe to say that Mudkips appearance was inluenced by both. The tail on the Axolotl stif fits too.

Er, Wooper's French name is Axoloto and Mudkip's Japanese name means "Water Mudskipper."
Also @ Omega: It's sort of hard because those are all humanoid :D
Drapion is just a scorpion :P

By the way, have a Weavile.
