Um... huge mythological bird? Ho-oh? Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres? And if you need the kidnapping-people aspect, two of Drifloon's Pokedex entries reference it trying to drag away children who grab onto them.

Those were based off of other giant birds.

Pokemon should be more about making fun creatures, not having to make a Pokemon equivalent out of every real life animal. Plus what about the ones that aren't based on animals, but inanimate objects?

Using the squid suggestion as an example, in the Pokemon world it would be kind of redundant when they already have Tentacruel, which serves the purpose of a Kraken-like monster. He shares traits between several tentacle-having real life creatures. He is, as already stated, more based on a jellyfish (lots of tendrils, poisonous), but nevertheless I feel like having a squid creature for the sake of a squid creature is redundant without bringing something new to the table, such as an interesting or rarely used type combination.

Looked like a duck to me... Having a beaver tail is kind of important to be a Platypus...
Bibarel is also a beaver. Unless there's some magical Psyduck Bibarel breeding going on...

The point I was trying to get across in several disjointed posts (mainly because people are responding while I'm trying to respond to something else xD) is that in the context of the Pokemon world, the Pokemon can and HAVE been designed with more than one animal drawing inspiration. I'd agree that inspiration for Huntail DID come from an eel, but I'd also argue that there are signs its design was also inspired by the viperfish.

manetric is not a wolf it's based on a MANED WOLF (which is a distant relative of all other canines but is closest to the bush dog)



also goemar does this really look like a duck?

Oh come now, you're just splitting hairs... or shall we say... manes?

Seriously though, I don't like manectric, and I really do think they should have a cooler looking wolf. Mightyena and Manectric seem like the closest they have to something like that at the moment, though.

Is there any cow pokemon? but surely.... there's no ant pokemon.......

Okay, seriously? Miltank and Durant. Next.

A cool wolf would be erm... cool.

My brain now hurts trying to think of animals that haven't been done... do Unicorns count?

Rapidash.

been done twice there keldeo too

Why did I even start this thread? My head hurts..... XD
Just kidding......... Lemurs???? any Lemur based pokemon?

I'm feeling a lot of shame right now...

Stick Insect? Koala? Peacock (Unless Ho-oh counts)?

There's no stick insect I think....

That would be Sudowoodo I belive, athough being classified as a rock type and is an Imitation Pokemon, in which the Stickbug would also fall under the same category of bugs that blend in with the environment.
