What animals has Pokemon not done?

[Sargonza]

Is there a gerbil pokemon? Grasping at loose ends here...

 

[Sakeretsu]

Cyndaquil is supposed to be a hedgehog, isn't it ?

 

[crudus]

Isn't Jynx supposed to be humanoid or something?

Humanoid, but not human. Some weird kind of cross-breed maybe?

(hopefully not)

Admit it...that would be an awesome feature. *points dramatically* ADMIT IT!!!

That is the most gimmicky thing I have heard, and I will only admit the opposite of what you want me to admit.

 

[WeAreStevo]

I don't think they've done a manatee. Dewgong (the actual name of manatees) is more of a giant seal than anything...

 

[SilverUchiha]

Dolphin hasn't been done yet.
Gilamonter hasn't been done...
Hm... neither has Platypus.
Dilapasaurus (with InGen added poison spitting action for shits and giggles). \
Anything from the raptor family. I know they did something off Archyterypx (spelling is way off) but nothing more Deinonychus or Velociraptor-like.
there isn't even a T-Rex or a Triceratops Pokemon yet. here?

The closest thing to a dolphin is Gorebyss [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/368.shtml].
Gila monster: Scraggy [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/559.shtml] and Scrafty [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/560.shtml]
Platypus: many don't count Psyduck, but Golduck [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/055.shtml] certainly is. Ducks have wings, not webbed fingers.
Closest raptor-esque is Gabite [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/444.shtml], Garchomp [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/445.shtml] or Haxorous [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/612.shtml]
T-rex: Tyranitar [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/248.shtml]
Triceratops: Aggron [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/306.shtml], maybe Terrakion [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/639.shtml] (not quite, but close enough)

I wouldn?t necessarily count Gorebyss as a Dolphin. I always thought it was more like a sea-snake like its nearest relative from the same generation that was the alternate evolution of the pre-evolved form (fuck me for not knowing the name right now).
I didn?t think Scraggy family was very Gilamonster because Gilamonsters are poisonous lizards. While we have the latter part down, I don?t see it being very poisonous. I won?t make a big deal of this one, but I find your selection questionable
True, I don?t count Psyduck but I don?t know if I can count Goldduck. Tail isn?t quite there and, again, lack of the platypus? poisonous traits. But this one is a toss-up really.
Garchomp is referred to as a land shark. Also, it seems much too large to represent any raptor-esque dinosaur. I?m probably being picky here, but I think that we can get more raptorness from a Pokemon.
Tyrannitar is no T-rex. Head is way too small and arms are way too big. I get we aren?t going for exact replicas, but we at least need to get the biggest traits right. I always thought of Tyrannitar as more of a Godzilla-ish Pokemon.
And Aggron seems, to me, to just be a Metalic version of Rhydon. Granted, it has the three horns and frill going for it, but while its previous evolutionary stage (name slipping me) looks very much like a protoceratops, I?m going to continue my dinosaur-pickiness with this. Terrakion is a much closer adaptation, but of a different member of a ceratopsian family. So I?ll let that be a pass, but I don?t like it.

octopus?

Hm... further research shows that there isn't even a T-Rex or a Triceratops Pokemon yet. The fuck is taking them so long? We got to prehistoric plants before the two big hitters? Where the fuck are the priorities here?

are you kidding? there are loads of T-rex pokemon! tyranatar is the only one i can name, cuz i've stopped playing them from 4th gen onwards. but i know of two more that were released in the latest batch[/quote]
As I mentioned above, Tyrannitar seems more like Godzilla-ish than actual T-Rex. But lemme look at Gen-5 list to see if any were actually added?
? Bulbapedia has a few close ones, but I argue against Tyrannitar and Zekrom is? not really something I would count since its one of those bizarre legendary things. Sorry, but I see no true-blue Tyrannosaurus Rex.

 

[WeAreStevo]

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?

Snubble and Granbull from Gen 2 are supposed to be bulldogs.

 

[Berenzen]

For the people saying that the Tazmanian devil hasn't been done. I would say that Houndour looks like the Tazmanian Devil, and it's evolution Houndoom looks like the Tazmanian Tiger.

As for others, I don't think they've done a manatee yet. They did a dugong, but they haven't done a manatee yet.

 

[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

It's called taking creative liberties man.
If they hadn't taken liberties with the designs of most pokemon, we'd just have a bunch of anime animals running around, and that wouldn'thave been interesting at all. As someone before said, is Torkoal not a tortoise because it's fire type? I would have thought that logically a badger would be ground or normal type, but here we are with a typhlosion instead.
Here's a page on typhlosion, check down the bottom, in the origin section. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Typhlosion

Naturally, like many other pokemon, it's a bit of a combination of a few animals, but Typhlosion is pissed off, badger shaped, and a pokemon, and that's good enough for me.

We do have a bunch of anime animals running around.
If that's the closest thing to a badger then I say there is no badger Pokémon!

Also, what do you mean by "It's called taking creative liberties"? When you say that it sounds like whoever designed Typhlosion was assigned to making a Pokémon that resembles a badger as if Pokémon claims that their Pokémons (oh God) look like animals and that they could be sued if this wasn't true.
I'm pretty sure they're just inspired by animals and so what they come up with doesn't really have to look like any animal at all.
I think this thread is about what Pokémons look like and whether Typhlosion was based on a badger or not he sure doesn't look like a ba-.. OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT BEAVERS (heh)

mybadmybad so sorry, Typhlosion does look like a badger, he is the badger Pokémon. Sorry!

Now, is there a beaver Pokémon?

Oh jesus, fuck me. From what I can tell, you kind of defuncted this whole thread by saying how Pokemon are inspired by animals, rather than making carbon copies of them with anime eyes.

And for the final record, yes there is a beaver Pokemon, it is called Bibarel. Please take this complimentary shotgun to blow your own brains out with after viewing it, because it's fuck ugly.

 

[MegaDarkLucario]

Ok, I think I've got it: Dung beetles!

 

[Heroes and Cons]

Ahem. Please allow me to direct you all to the most amazing of all creatures that GAMEFREAK has not yet used: The Ass. Obviously when they DO make a donkey pokemon, it should have unparalleled attack power and speed... =P

 

[TAZZ_MAN_X]

a chupacabra

 

[RaikuFA]

I'm quite certain that my choice hasn't been done. I'm quite certain there isn't a pokemon based on the Thorny Devil:

Spoiler

Druddigon.

leeches, goat, gazelle, antlion the list goes on

Eelectross

Cobalion

Virizion

Trapinch

that is not a T-Rex

this is a T-Rex

Spoiler

Tyranitar

electross is a lamprey, which is a fish

 

[2xDouble]

electross is a lamprey, which is a fish

Lampreys are eels, not fish. Neither are leeches (except for the parasitic lampreys), so you are also correct.

Actually, I'd imagined Eelectross as more of a cookiecutter shark, an interesting (and bioluminescent) cousin to the lamprey... and realize the game needs one of those immediately.

Sorry, but I see no true-blue Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Thank you for that idea.

Bagon [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/371.shtml].

It's too small, but it's the closest thing to a "true" Tyrannosaurus Rex in the game. All of its proportions are correct, and distinct from its theoretical concept (which was later more accurately represented by Cranidos and Rampardos).

 

[killthenrun1]

Oops double post.

 

[killthenrun1]

Also it thinks it can fly .

Linoone from Ruby and Sapphire is a Badger. Can we stop arguing about the existence of a Badger pokemon

 

[Bigbomb94]

A Sasquatch?

 

[2xDouble]

A Sasquatch?

Oddly enough, yes they've done that too. Meet Abomasnow [http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/460.shtml]

He's half Sasquatch, half pine tree.

 

[Heartcafe]

Ok, I think I've got it: Dung beetles!

This guy kinda looks like one. I think he's the manifestation of all beetles.
