It's more of a Kiwi than an ostrich.

Also Porygon is a software, or some virtual being, not a robot

Golurk!?

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

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" Tongue
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. -Mary Pickford

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.

Well OK Gyarados isn't really like the Nessie specifically, but I mean it resembles the general sea monster/serpent myth.

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.

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.
