RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - Ton - 07-30-2012
Antlion. Well, I guess Pinsir, kinda...
Ostrich? Pteradon? ...Robot?
RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - A.J. Nitro - 07-30-2012
Ostrich: Doduo/Dodrio
Pteradon: Aerodactyl
Robot: I wanna say the Magnemite/Porygon family?
RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - Ton - 07-30-2012
Wasn't Doduo a Kiwi?
RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - Mutsukki - 07-30-2012
It's more of a Kiwi than an ostrich.
Also Porygon is a software, or some virtual being, not a robot

Oh duh, someone mentioned robots as a base and I forgot to mention

Golurk!?
Okay, so he's based on mythical golems as well but he can learn Fly so he's totally a mecha.

Loch Ness Monster...... Big foot??

Gyarados and Lapras are both like the Loch Ness Monster (in certain ways).

I wouldn't be surprised if there were players that named these Pokemon "Nessie"
RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - Goemar - 07-31-2012
Lapras yes but...
Gyarados like Nessie? What version of mythology have you been following? Gyarados is more of a Hyrda (without the main body)/typical sea serpent beastie.
Although DoDuo is very Kiwi-like I'd say it also has the Ostrich base covered. I'd love to see a more Ostrich based Pokemon (with a lance) mind.
RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - puggsoy - 07-31-2012
Well OK Gyarados isn't really like the Nessie specifically, but I mean it resembles the general sea monster/serpent myth.
RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - Virtuaboy123 - 07-31-2012
Bush baby, chicken, earthworm, lemur, cockroach, termites, gazelles, and shrimp(sorry if someone already posted these). extinct- dodos, plenty of extinct mammals too. Mythical- kirin, bigfoot, mothman, griffin, and chupracabra(these are western mythical creatures though).

I always thought gyarados was based off of chinese parade dragons

It's rather odd that you go with "parade" dragons and not just the Chinese dragons the parade dragons are based-off. Water Serpents and Chinese Dragons (but in water) look close enough anyways.
RE: Name Any animal that Pokemon never did. - Kami - 07-31-2012
Simple, Gyarados will be giving an evolution with legs and a bigger tempor and they will end up destroying everything.

Torchic, Genesect, Abomasnow
Genesect is beetle like in general but he always gave me a roach feel. Abomasnow is based off of the abominable snowman which, if I'm not mistaken is essentially bigfoot.

In some myths, certain golems possesed the ability to fly~
Also Phobos, being based on such a being, was granted the ability to fly in an OVA of Darkstalkers, it would've been pretty common to name a golurk after phobos.
Also, the way the patrat line behaves in the wild screeches meerkat. Just have an Emboar and a Watchog in a team with a Luxray and hijinks insue.
