What animals has Pokemon not done?

[LadyTiamat]

Platypus, Squid, flea, worm?, lice, and my personal fav glitch! I want a real cannon missingno!

 

[Jumpingbean3]

Oh I love this game! I played it a while ago with a friend of mine while we played MW2.
I can't remember all the animals we thought of, but I know the trick is to think of the animals you know, and check your memory (or <url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page>bulbapedia if your memory sucks) and see if there is a pokemon for it.
Lets see...
Hummingbird
Hornet
Fly
Mosquito
Gorilla (I think)
And I can't recall any Panda pokemon...
I will think more on this.

Hornet was beedril, gorilla could be slaking, mosquito could almost be any flying bug type with absorb, but I think fly and hummingbird haven't been done.
The one I want to see is a Double Wattled Cassowary! Think the bird from Up. (google search it, it's a real thing).

I always found it odd that Slaking was ape-like when his previous forms were Sloths.

 

[Rad Party God]

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, Hitmonlee, Jynx, Machop, Machoke, Machamp... those are the one that comes to mind, as I'm not familiar with every single Pokémon, but yeah, there's many humanoid Pokémon.

OT: Maybe a Brontosaurus, T-Rex and a Velociraptor? There's lots of dinosaurs they can take inspiration for new Pokémon.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Hmm, this is tricky considering I only know gen 1 and 2. But what about wolves? I know of dog and fox pokemon, but no wolves come to mind.

 

[MegaDarkLucario]

Elephants?

Brontosaur was mentioned previously, lets see.....

Brontosaurus

Tropius

Gen 3.

 

[Josh Horton]

Elephants?

Phanphy or Donphan

A lot of people say Mightyena but its supposed to be based off of a hyena, soo it could go both ways I suppose

 

[MorganL4]

Pandas , shrimp , chicken(?) , zebras (?) ass ( donkey duh)

I really don't know since i didnt play black/white

Snorlax was a Panda

Is there a Cheetah pokemon?

 

[Ayay]

Do they have a Moose in the lineup ?
If so i might give it a go.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Hm...well maybe we should count plants and minerals too since Pokemon has been doing both for a long while now. As for animals, I don't think they've done an Orangutan yet. I think they also skipped Sphinx, Trolls, characters of the Hiragana and, Katakana alphabet, Angler fish, mosquitoes, horseflies, horse shoe crabs (Kabuto is not one)...That's all I've got though...

 

[mip0]

Have they done a badger? And they did a dolphin

Yeah they did a badger in Gen 2. Typhlosion.

OT: They haven't done a cheetah, and they haven't done a falcon as far as I can remember.

What, how is Typhlosion a badger?
You know what the most distinctive badger features are, right? Typhlosion has none of them :S

 

[Mr.Petey]

How about anything like a virus or a bacteria perhaps? even if it wasn't constrained to the microscopic world

ditto and one of the 5th gen ones(and his evolutions) who's name I keep forgetting

The I-can-be-anything pokemon who looks like dropped pink blancmange? I don't see it though, I wouldn't even call it resembling an amoeba really sorry

 

[Red Roark]

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.

Spinark covers the spider. And they came out with some vegtable thing that resembled a sea cucumber but I think was supposed to be an eggplant.

Spiders have 8 legs. Spinarak has 6.

Don't be so damn technical. These are pokemon adaptations, not entomology. Spinarak and his evolution are the poke equivalent of spiders.

Actually that's not technical at all. It's THE defining character of a spider. When you got an unknown bug the first thing you look at is if it got 6 legs or 8 legs. Thus Spinarak and Ariados are insects.

My point is in this ridiculous discussion is talking about adapting animals into a world that is imaginary. In this magical imaginary world there are a bunch of magnets stuck together with sentience. Realism and our laws of nature don't come into play here. Spinarak was inspired by spiders so any spider pokemon after him will feel derivative regardless of the number of legs the imaginary cock-o-mon has is going to change that. Applying our laws of entomology to the pokeverse is ludicrous.

Yeah, I get that, but I want to see a Pokemon that is an actual spider. Spinrak is not. Spiders are not the only arthopods capable of making net.

 

[Voulan]

I can only think through the first two gens, but the more unlike-lies I'll nominate are a squid, Kiwi, parrot, rabbit, sharks(?), chickens/hens, zebras, tigers, centipede, dingos, leeches.....that's the extent of my current knowledge.

Let me know if those have actually been done in the more redundant series.

 

[Berenzen]

I don't think they've done hagfish, cuttlefish, stingrays (mantine is a manta-ray, not a stingray), tapirs, a whole swath of different dinosaurs and pre-historic creatures, and a huge amount of various ocean creatures

well I think ditto is actually supposed to be a stem cell but this is defiantly a cell:

 

[cthulhumythos]

capybara and llama.

i can't think of any others.

We have Angler Fish, Lanturn.

Spoiler

This could be argued to be an Orangutan.

Shinx is named for but has limited characteristics with a sphinx.
http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/403.shtml

Is this a troll?
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/534.shtml
Snorelax blocks bridges. That's troll-like behavior.

Why is Kabuto not a horseshoe crab?

He just needs a tail. Diglett doesn't even have limbs but it's called a mole.

Giant bipedal Chicken.

Shark

Centipede

Arguably a parrot.

Bunny

Tiger

Zebra

Leeches, squids, and dingos I can't pick out.
Although I don't know what the hell Dunsparce [http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/206.shtml] is supposed to be.
