Would YOU want to see a Machoke without pants on....
Sometimes, it is best not to ask questions.

It hasnt been made pointless. There are pokemon based on certain species of animals so just saying bird or worm wont cut, it. Thats why the picture/art comparison is best.

Just a few amends @ Cherii.
I only glanced at the list really, really quickly.

Bellsprout/Weepinbel/Victreebel are all based off of the Nepenthes pitcher plant.
Bronzor is a steel gear.
Froslass is based off of a woman-demon in Japanese mythology. Mawile too.
Vileplume is a Rafflesia.

"I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away."

Rotom is not a raindrop/teardrop. It's a lightbulb. we have some with a pointed top like that. Wormadam and Burmy are based on a bagworm or tentworm. Drowzee and Hypno are tapirs. Also, Bronzor seems closer to a coin, going from the sign on it's back, a wheat penny.

I always thought Paras was a combination of a scorpion, a crab and some mushrooms. This scorpion, the Centruroides sp. or Hairy Scorpion, seems the closest in colour:-

(in spoilers because I know they squick people out, sorry Haza)
Spoiler:


And for Ariados, something like this Sun Scorpion could work, too. In spoilers for the same reason, but picture can be accessed here

Lucario is somewhat like the Egyptian God Anubis, who has the head of a jackal. Observe:




Here is a jackal:


And here is Anubis:



Anubis isn't usually drawn with wings, I think. This is what I believe he's based on.

Arcanine,


along with his canine/tiger influences also probably take characteristics from:




The japanese guardian lion/dog/foo dog/I'm not 100% sure what these things are really called...

Snubbull/Granbull



is probably based off of the english bulldog or other similar bulldogs:




Houndoom



Is probably based off a dobermann pinscher:




Mightyena:




=



Striped Hyena


Typhlosion:



=


Weasel

And Ninetales:




is based on a japanese fox demon called a kyuubi or kitsune:

Horsea/Seadra:
Based off the idea of a seahorse, though the ability to shoot ink could originate from fellow sea-dweller, the squid.



Kingdra:
Is based off an actual water dragon called Phyllopteryx. It's related to seahorses.

I can't provide pictures and links since I haven't made 15 posts on the forums yet, but I'd like to share anyway. :3


Drapion seems to be based off of a vinegarroon, an arachnid related to and resembling scorpions.

Nidoking is probably based off of the kaiju Baragon. The rest of the Nidos are likely a mix of Baragon and some other animal (Nidorin is Baragon + a rhino, etc.)

Bulbasaur and its evolutions look like they're based off of the moschops, or some other prehistoric mammal-like reptile, except having an amphibian-influenced head/face.

I agree about Lucario being based off of Anubis. It might also be based off of an Egyptian boxer, as it's believed that's where boxing originated. It could also have a bit of influence from kangaroos, since the cartoony stereotype portrays kangaroos as boxers and Lucario has huge feet like a kangaroo does.

Shinx/Luxio/Luxray are lions in a style similar to that of Kimba the White Lion.
