What animals has Pokemon not done?

[Berethond]

Tarsiers?

I don't recall any of those.

 

[godfist88]

they haven't tried a T-Rex Yet.

 

[Nazulu]

Mantis: Scyther.
Stick Insect: Sudowoodo would be my best guess
Raptor probably won't be done until next gen. They always have ~2 prehistoric animals a gen.

The only thing that makes Scyther look similar to a prey mantis is that they're both green.

As for Sudowoodo as a stick insect. I can't agree at all.

I'll allow them to make something resemble closer.

 

[Yopaz]

octopus?

Nope they have that one
Octillery



ah yes, i remember that one, second generation wasn't it?
well then... what abooouuut... an rhinoceros?

Oh come on you know who it is big hint. earth generation 1.

Spoiler

rhyhorn

damnit! now i remember!
sigh... okay... hm... what aboooooouuuuuuut... a walrus!

Such as Walrein?

I can't really remember seeing a spider or a sea cucumber.

there was that spinarack thing from second gen.
uuuuuum... a mongoose!

One of the defining characters for spiders is that they have 8 legs. Spinarak has 6. Also the eyes and mouth parts are wrong, though that might be Nintendo not wanting a horror movie Pokemon.
Mongoose is covered by Zangoose.

true, but it spins webs, that kinda sells it, and it's evolved form has a very spider like posture.
zangoose? COMEON!! fine then! a pile of garbage! make a pokemon out of that nintendo!

Net is not a defining character. Also Weedle and Catterpie also got net.

Pile of garbage is not an animal, but Grimer, Muk and Garbodor covers that.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Stick Insect: Sudowoodo would be my best guess

That would work if it was a bug type, but it isn't, is just plain rock.

 

[Creator002]

Pandas

I've always thought Snorelax looked like a panda.

Have they done a flea?

 

[AzureRaven]

they haven't tried a T-Rex Yet.

They have, actually.
Rampardos.

They haven't done a dolphin yet. Always thought there should be one.

 

[grimgor42]

What about the noble Capybara? King of the Rodents?

 

[The Keeper]

they haven't tried a T-Rex Yet.

They have, actually.
Rampardos.

They haven't done a dolphin yet. Always thought there should be one.

Ummm. That's a pachycephalosaurus. :/

 

[Double A]

Goats, echidnas, hedgehogs, porcupines, , mosquitoes (new Zubats!), and Yoshi.

 

[NoOne852]

How about a chocobo? or at least an ostrich

Dang it, u beat me to ostrich!
I know they haven't done a platypus yet though.

 

[AzureRaven]

Ummm. That's a pachycephalosaurus. :/

Well...technically, yes you're right. However, it's close enough to where Rampardos covers it anyway. I mean, admit or not, that's still the same basic body structure as a T-Rex.

 

[Torrasque]

Mantis: Scyther.
Stick Insect: Sudowoodo would be my best guess

I'll allow them to make something resemble closer.

Scythe-hands, wings, body... none of that strikes you as similar? =|
As for Sudowoodo, I said "my best guess"
I know he looks nothing like a stick insect, but I can't imagine them making an actual stick insect. Sudowoodo is probably the closest they'll make.

Stick Insect: Sudowoodo would be my best guess

And Torkoal doesn't work as a tortoise tribute, because he's fire?

[Von Strimmer]

I'm certain they've never done this animal before-

Man. Seriously, there's not one pokemon that resembles a man. Unless you count Ditto that cute pink slime critter who can appear to look like anything it wishes. Not even sure if it has a gender or not at all.

Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee would be the men, as they are based off of Jet Lee and Jackie Chan.

Darn ninja'd**

unitetional pun or intetional?
ot:Is there a domestic dog pokemon not aa wolf just a domestic dog?

Eevee is my guess at domesticated dog. Or that ninetails pokemon.

I dont believe they have done a Discus (fish) pokemon...

 

[Johnson McGee]

<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_squid>Vampire Squid

and they probably never will because those are damn creepy.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

Have they done a badger?

Linoone yes?

Linoone is more of a ferret I thought.

OT: I don't think they've ever done a hippo pokemon...

I know he looks nothing like a stick insect, but I can't imagine them making an actual stick insect. Sudowoodo is probably the closest they'll make.

They don't have scythe hands, they capture prey under claws, but they can fly witch I just learned. The body is nothing a like though, that's the unique pray mantis bit it misses.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

...Honey Badger? I know Linoon could be a badger but not a honey badger. Also, swordfish?

 

[AzureRaven]

Looked over the thread some and I'm gonna throw out some of my semi-expertise. Though if you're sure I'm 100% wrong feel free to correct me.

Have they done a badger? And they did a dolphin

There has been no dolphin so far.

Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee would be the men, as they are based off of Jet Lee and Jackie Chan.

Darn ninja'd**

Actually, Hitmonlee is based off Bruce Lee. Otherwise it'd probably be Hitmonli. Since that's how you spell Jet's last name.

Spinda (panda) , Baroach (Shrimp) , and Blaziken (badass chicken) from ruby and sapphire.
And a zebra was in Black and White

Barboach is in no way a shrimp or anything close to it. It's a catfish.
EDIT: Actually it's a loach, my mistake. I was thinking of Whiscash, it's evolved form.

Then I direct your attention to this.
If you are too lazy to go to it, it lists Scyther as "The Mantis" Pokemon.
Under physiology, it says:
<quote=Bulbapedia>Scyther resembles a primarily green, human-sized praying mantis with accents of cream coloration. It has large, blade-like forearms and a pair of cream-colored wings. Its head is reptilian rather than insect in shape, with three small points, and its feet possess three claws.So you see, the differences you notice, are just an artist taking artistic initiative and making it look cool.
Yes, I know praying mantis look badass, but if every pokemon looked exactly like the animal it was based off of, Pokemon wouldn't be the same.
