Animals that are not Pokemon yet.....

Kecleon is based off a Chameleon.

Kangaskahn a kangaroo!? Seriously, does this look ANYTHING at all like this, asides from the pouch, and the fact that she has "Kanga" in her name, Kangaskahn is most definetly not a kangaroo, Kangaskahn looks more like a giant armadillo mixed with a prehistoric reptile than a kangaroo, if we were to have an actuall kangaroo Pokemon, it would be a two stage Fighting type with boxing gloves, and would be used by a Gym Leader in the Generation 6 region.

It does look like a kangeroo, though it is pokemon so it will never, ever look exactly like one. When they make pokemon they only make them resemble animals.

I want a Platypus pokemon.

What animals do you want to see as Pokemon, here's what I want to see in Generation 6:

• A Dolphin
• A Fox that does not have multiple tails or shapeshifting powers, just a regular Fox, not a Kitsune
• A Werewolf
• A Kangaroo
• A Meerkat
• A T-Rex
• A Husky
• A Pegasus
• A Robot Dragon
• A Chinchilla..... wait, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ALREADY IS A CHINCHILLA!?

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? http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:257Blaziken.png

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 :\:

Spoiler:

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)

Spoiler:

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!
Mangrodon (by BlazeKnight-94 of DeviantArt).

^top right Fakemon (Mangrodon - alternate version)

 

[Destiny.]

Um guys? Archaeoptryx is covered by Gen 5 : Archaes. And no Koala, either.

Um guys? Archaeoptryx is covered by Gen 5 : Archaes. And no Koala, either.

Mangrodon looks much better IMO than Archeos. Archeos, unfortunately, looks like a parrot born in Rainbow Land. I know birds can have vibrant colors, but that Pokemon has way too much going on with its color scheme. The shiny looks even worse. Mangrodon just goes off the simpler earthy, foresty colors of green, yellow, and brown.

On the plus side, I'm glad we actually have an Archaeopteryx Pokemon introduced...it's just not what I had in mind exactly... :(

 

[Iqid Loopz]

Theres Dung Beetles...just sayin'.

Gorillas,
Narwhal (Whales with a horn),
sponge...
plankton...
White Tigers,
Gazelles,
Flatfish.
Stingrays,
Mountain Goats.

 

[GaXeL]

Well we definitely don't have a fire breathing kangaroo fish
We have mantine, we don't need a sting Ray

 

[Christopher]

I want a
~Goat
~Wasp
~Anteater
~Water Buffalo
~a Jesus Lizard
~Swordfish
~A Fly
~An Opossum
~A Better Squirrel
~Yak
~Elk/Moose (Stanler Evo )
~Sea Urchin
Thats all I have, for now

 

[Ho-Oh]

Dolphin is all I want really. All I wished was that it was covered in B/W, but oh well. Anything else I don't want as much~

 

[Kenshin5]

Kuitaran is already based on an Anteater. Im diggin Opossum a Swordfish though.

 

[Musica]

Scorpions.
I, myself, believe that there is no Scorpion-based Pokemon yet.

 

[fenyx4]

Scorpions.
I, myself, believe that there is no Scorpion-based Pokemon yet.

Technically, we have Skorupi, Drapion, Gligar, and Gliscor as "scorpion" Pokemon... Though some consider Skorupi and Drapion to only resemble scorpions by their origins of the vinegarroons. And Gligar and Gliscor are kind of a mixture of bats, flying scorpions, and stuff. But, IMO, we haven't had a true scorpion Pokemon yet... :\
That reminds me of a Fire/Poison Scorpion starter Pokemon concept :D:

Spoiler:

 

[Strdstwanderer]

A Platypus
A Panda(I thought Mijumaru was a panda)
A Gorilla
A Chihuahua

 

[Kenshin5]

Mijumaru is based off an Otter. There is already a Panda pokemon Spinda. Although I wouldn't mind seeing another variation of a Panda.

 

[Strdstwanderer]

I would Like it if they had a Baboon pokemon and a Sea Sponge Pokemon and a
Squid Pokemon and Gopher Pokemon and a Plankton Pokemon

 

[Ravecat]

We need more squids. We have an octopus, and jellyfish, but no squids.

However, any cephalopod is fine by me.

 

[Asrodrig]

A Platypus

He kinda reminds me of a Platypus wearing a Mexican sombrero and a poncho.
More potential pokes:
-Armadillo
-Cassowary
-Porcupine
-Goat
-Grasshopper
-Wolf
-Chupacabra

And really, why limit it to animals? You just wait - in Gen VI there'll be a cigarette Pokemon, a fork Pokemon, and a shoe Pokemon!

 

[Ravecat]

I second the Chupacabra one.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Theres Dung Beetles...just sayin'.

Gorillas,
[S-HIGHLIGHT]Narwhal (Whales with a horn), [/S-HIGHLIGHT]
sponge...
plankton...
White Tigers,
Gazelles,
Flatfish.
Stingrays,
Mountain Goats.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAMURAI DIALGA NARWHAL WITH A BEARD ISN'T A NARWHAL?

OT: There's no dolphin yet, I believe, which could evolve into another narwhal and/or a swordfish. That'd be cool. :D A legit fighting-type kangaroo would be kick-ass; a wombat wouldn't hurt either. :D

 

[Dark Pulse94]

@Caterpie, I second the Aussie animals...

we need a Koala, and a Possum...

Also, I third the Chupacarbra, Negima all the way!
