If pokemon were real WE WOULD BE DOOMED!
Imagine, you can't leave town without a pokemon do to the tall grass, which is everywhere. And when you are walking through the grass, you get attacked by a pink ball creature who wants you dead.
So I guess a onix would be scariest, unless you have a glass of water with you.

Huh, I guess that got a lot of attention, eh?
Well, I looked high and low for all of it, and I've culminated the scraps of that project into the spoiler below. It's not as big or detailed as the original, but it gives you an idea to the logic I tried to put behind some "moves" or apperances.
Bulbasaur
The Bulbasaur are small dog-sized herbivores that gather in small groups, usually in forest clearings nearby their nests. Bulbasaurs are the younger forms of Ivysaur and the matriarchal Venusaur, who stay closer to the nests. Bulbasaur will group closer together when they spot something moving, and will scatter if surprised. In the mating season, the males will gather in small huddles and challenge brash intruders. They mew when frightened.
Ivysaur
The Ivysaur are the more mature of the Bulbasaur species. They too can be found grazing in low bushes and clearings in forests, but are usually found around their nest. The Ivysaur is more aggressive than the Bulbasaur, and can be viewed as the defenders of the herd. The male Ivysaur are all the mating partners of the herd Venusaur.
Venusaur
The Venusaur is a vast, bloated Ivysaur, usually much older and more powerful than any other herd member. They are always located in the nest, which is often in a shady area near a forest clearing. The Venusaur is a lazy, sluggish creature to the naked eye, relying on young Ivysaur to defend it from attackers. But when challenged, the Venusaur is a dangerous creature which can move and hit as hard as a steam train. A Venusaur can be heard from a distance, with a deep snoring grumble and occasional grunts.
Charmander
The Charmander are young Charizard, located on the steamy plateaus of the rocky plains up in the mountain ranges. Young, boisterous and driven from their mothers at birth, Charmander are very often found in pairs or alone, and will display their strength and aggressiveness to anyone who approaches. They reportedly chirrup and pine hoarsely when alone, though they are more recognised by their child-like wails when attacking.
Charmeleon
Charmeleon are vicious hunters of the plateaus, dangerous to approach. Speedy, powerful and more adept with their fire-projecting capabilities, Charmeleon are diurnal ambush-predators pumped up with the hormones so associated with the Charizard species.
Charizard
Charizard, the legendary dragon-lizards of the mountains, are large, dangerous and territorial. Their mating season lasts many months, during which time their calls echo across the valley and the ground high up in the mountain, near where they live, becomes scorched by young Charizard venting their pent-up aggression.
Squirtle
Squirtle are amphibious tortoise creatures, often found near the edge of large bodies of water next to vegetation. They do not often wander far from their watery abodes, and breed underwater. They are docile, and will flee in the direction of their nests when confronted, wailing strange reptilian bleats and whimpering. Their curious name comes from the creature?s mischievous habit of squirting water at strangers from their mouths from the lakeside before retreating into the water.
Wartortle
The Wartortle are matured Squirtle with greater strength and egos. They live in the rivers and waterways of the lands, forsaking their calm swampy cradles in favour of the fish, mates and currents of the rivers. They cannot breed in rivers due to the currents, and so ?beach? themselves for the short few months of their mating season. They make pig-like grunting noises when amongst each other, and grow like boars when approached threateningly.
Blastoise
Great old Wartortle veterans, Blastoise have become scarred and lonesome over the years. They laze about the shady edges of pools and lakes, doing very little except for sleeping. Age has taken its toll on the Blastoise, and as such they cannot breed. Blastoise only emerge from the best of the Wartortle species, having fought long and hard against nature and competitors for survival. The Blastoise has an ingenious tactic for fighting developed over millennia of evolution. When submerged, the Blastoise collects water through filter-like skin flaps tucked under the rim of its shell. The water is contained in a hollow section between the shell and its back and when threatened or aggravated, the Blastoise contracts its shell muscles and propels the water from two bone-spouts on its shoulders. They roar loudly with belch-like bursts to warn approaching threats.
Caterpie
The Caterpie are incredibly common insects, found anywhere where there is vegetation, like parks or even gardens. They gnaw away at leaves and fatten themselves up in preparation of their cocooning, when they embalm themselves in pods.
Metapod
Metapod is the term given to the cocoon of the Caterpie species. The lightweight yet tough material the Caterpie forms around itself allows the Metapod to sustain incredible damage, yet be carried across the land by the faintest of breezes. On a perfect, sunny day in the forests, Metapod can be seen floating gracefully down from the canopy, emitting a very faint mumbling noise akin to a small didgeridoo. This is the noise of the wings of the Butterfree inside flapping at incredible speeds as it tries to break out.
Butterfree
Butterfree are the metamorphosis of the Caterpie species, having morphed into large insects with silky wings. The Butterfree?s only incentive in life is to reproduce, and to firstly find a mate with which to do so. The Butterfree does this by collecting samples of many flower pollens and storing them in the turquoise sacks many mistake for legs. These combinations of pollen create wafting aromas and a sticky haze in the air which has been noted as like ?gaseous honey?. In times of danger, the Butterfree can release all of its pollen at once, creating a hallucinatory smokescreen with which it can flee.
Weedle
The Weedle is a vindictive household pest best known for its sting. Found in the warmer, dryer climates, Weedle keep cool by maintaining a layer of dew around themselves that they amass in the moist grass early in the morning. Afterwards they seek out a shadowy place to remain for the day, which is usually a house. Though not particularly harmful, the sting is like a tiny paper cut and hurts badly in sensitive areas such as fingertips and toes. They emit a scraping rattle sound when approached, their carapace plates rubbing together as they sway left and right to warn others of enemies. When they sense the time is right, Weedles will climb to a high overhanging area such as a tree and cocoon themselves.
Kakuna
A Kakuna is the cocoon of a Weedle, usually creamy-yellow in colour with black Rorschach patterns near the ?head?. Due to the shortage of trees and other suitable hanging areas in the region, Kakuna often amass in one area. The rapid transformation from Weedle to Beedrill improves its senses, and a Weedle within a Kakuna can detect things outside the shell. If one was to approach a Kakuna tree, they would hear the disturbing echoing sound of many Beedrills attempting to get out, which some often do.
Beedrill
Beedrills are large insects around the size of a rabbit or small bird and are like locust to the people that live with them. The Beedrill, though solitary, have a distinct hive mind and will gather if a threat is detected or a hunger overcomes them. Beedrills eat once a year, gathering in a huge swarm and ravaging the landscape. The Beedrill packs quite a sting, with a toxin that encourages infection if not washed thoroughly.
Pidgey
Pidgey are small flock birds that gather in urban centres or parkland. They are about the size of robins, and eat whatever they can find. Their soft cooing is a welcome alarm clock to many people within the cities, but nuisances to others.
Pidgeotto
When Pidgey outgrow the city, they retreat to the forests and become predatory birds of the twilight hours. They rarely do battle with the territorial Fearow, as their active hours do not conflict. During the breeding season, they will coon loudly as they circle overhead, searching for mates.
Pidgeot
When the Pidgeotto grows to such a size its current feeding habits cannot sustain it, they begin taking larger territories which they share with the Pidgeotto and battle over with the Fearows. Whilst the Fearow are weaker, the Pidgeot is slow-moving for a bird and completely solitary, and can be picked apart by flocks of their enemies. Their loud piercing shrieks notify all in the area of a beginning hunt, and are a spectacle to behold.
Rattata
Rattata are the survivors, the most adaptable of any creature. They have been found, besides their native forests and farms, surviving in cities, sewers and mountain areas. They are easy prey for most other animals, but for every Rattata taken, forty more are hidden nearby.
Raticate
Raticate are Rattata that have reached adulthood, their purple-brown fur paling to a light fawn. They are less common and less intrusive than their pest youth, but are more serious to deal with when they infest a home.
Spearow
Spearow are to Pidgey what crows are to pigeons. A cawing, dirty nuisance, the Spearow?s harsh cry forewarns travellers of the pests. Whilst cowardly and passive in a city environment, the Spearow species are aggressive and will peck and pester travellers if they smell food in their bags.
Fearow
Fearow are predatory birds located in deep forest and glades, snatching out Rattata and Diglett without warning. Though they shy from humans, they can be lured out with the smell of meat, and can be heard with their eerie screeches. Though majestic when found nesting or pruning their feathers, the Fearow is rather ugly and awkward in flight, a great dirty bird looming over the forest prey.
Ekans
This peculiar water snake is an unusually wide species, using its surface area and light weight to speed across water like a fish. The Ekans will hang around the lake it was born in until old enough to face dry land. During this time, the Ekans will hunt by leaping from the water?s edge and snatching prey unawares. Ekans can survive indefinitely on dry land, but require some form of moisture, their skins still soft and worm-like and not yet hardened.
Arbok
The Ekans having lived long enough for its skin to harden and its neck form into a cobra-like hood, its poison-producing glands slowly begin to kick in and it turns from a watery pest with a nasty nip into a full-fledged threat to human travellers. The Arbok can not only poison prey, it can wrap around legs and break bones. The preferred tactic of Arbok in the wild is to sneak underneath an animal before wrapping around its legs and shattering the bones, whilst jabbing the prey?s underside with poisonous fangs. Death is near instantaneous.
Pikachu
This curious little mouse-mammal has developed a unique defence mechanism. Using chemical sacs located in the red pads on its face, the Pikachu can instigate a form of electrolysis which it can dispel as electric shocks upon others. The power of the attack depends on how frequently the Pikachu in question recently used it, as the sacs produce the electricity at a constant rate and can run out if overused. Alternatively, if it is not used enough, the electric power can be harmful to the Pikachu in question and seriously burn itself, even disturbing its heart rate. It uses its curiously-shaped tail as a grounding rod to dispel excess electric power. They are quiet animals and difficult to find should you wish to look for them, the only noise they emit are the cracks of static and occasional squeaks often unnoticeable in the noisy forest environment. The trick is to look for burnt grass where the Pikachu has grounded itself. They avoid cities, as the electromagnetic power of human electricity and power-plants disorient them.
Raichu
As the Pikachu ages, its legs and tail elongate and its fur darkens, becoming more nocturnal and even harder to find. A Raichu is a rare sight indeed, living in burrows and only coming out at night make them tricky characters to locate. They mew to each other in the mating season and will often be found near the small packs of Pikachu, watching over them intently. Raichu are quick to startle and will often let off their electric attacks when surprised or uncovered, a dangerous prospect to any zoologist.
Sandshrew
The Sandshrew can be found in the deserts and scrubland of the southern lands, the huge sand-flats making them difficult to track. They live underground and will only surface should they encounter any resistance or danger underground. They can sometimes be seen surfacing and immediately burrowing a short distance away like a fish might do so in water. They are a silent species, having no mouths to speak of save for a small proboscis for eating insects.
Sandslash
Sandslash are the aged form of Sandshrew, having shunned the insects they dined on in their youth in favour of small desert prey. The Sandslash use their huge claws to dig just below ground, waiting for the tell-tale tremors of incoming prey. Should you run too quickly or too loudly, a Sandslash may mistake you for food and leap out with terrible claws and hurt you. Should you accidently uncover one by stepping on it, you will be greeted with a foot full of quills. Finding yourself in the desert in need of food, locating a Sandslash and waiting for it to catch something is the best way of stealing food from this unforgiving environ.
Nidoran
The Nidoran are a zoological anomaly in the sense that their male and female counterparts divulge into completely separate variations of their species. They live high up in the mountains, just around the treeline, and their wailing mews can be heard for miles. The females are like strange leather-skinned rabbits, with buck teeth and large ears, but with a blue tinge to their skin and bony protrusions that constitute the beginnings of armour. The males are purplish in hue, their ears more pointed and their bony growths more jagged and aggressive-looking. They are nimble creatures that dart about in packs, always with an older Nidorino or Nidorina, and will flee in groups when startled.
Nidorina
Nidorina are the females of the Nidoran species that have developed in growth. Whilst significantly larger, they have grown into their spiky form and their protrusions are less significant. The driving herd-instinct of the Nidoran mean that when threatened, the Nidorina will place itself between the threat and the young of the herd, growling menacingly. This is unlike the Nidorino, who hurtles itself into combat with no thought for the herd.
Nidoqueen
These majestic Queens of the Hills are docile vegetarians who are the leaders of the large Nidoran herds that wander the valleys. In the mating season, the herds leave their Nidoqueen to allow her and possible mates room. Upon the arrival of winter, they return to their Nidoqueen?s embrace. The Nidoqueen is a large, well-armoured opponent, and so is unbothered by the larger mountain predators and ignores humans mostly. However, when injured or in the presence of young, the Nidoqueen will cry a great mournful tune that wards off any lesser opponents and attacks anything that approaches brashly.
Nidorino
Nidorino is the male version of a mid-life Nidoran. Its legs are longer and its protrusions larger and more vicious-looking. They emit high-pitched grunts when distressed, but grumble most of the time. The Nidorino is the opposite of the Nidorina, and, instead of concern for the herd, it instinctively goes at any threat with its vicious claws and horns.
Nidoking
The Nidoking is the later-life stage of a male Nidoran. They have abandoned their life-long packs in favour of a lonesome lifestyle, their immense bulk and hunger too great for sharing and living with others. However, the natural Nidoran herd-instinct calls it back, and so the Nidoking spends the rest of its years storming about the mountain tops mating with random Nidoqueen it encounters and picking fights with anything unwise enough to stand still. The Nidoking can be heard when nearby, its agonised grunts and furious roars do not carry far, but are very loud up close. Tell-tale signs include smashed rocks and broken trees.
Clefairy
Clefairies are small, nocturnal mammals that live amongst the roots of trees. Although they chirrup and whistle adorably, they actually communicate by vibrating their large, pointed ears very quickly. The reverberations are picked up by other Clefairy ears which allow communication across huge distances. They are inquisitive and naïve and will approach anything that appears friendly. Many a traveller has woken to find a group of Clefairy standing over him excitedly.
Clefable
The Clefable are similar behaviour-wise to their younger Clefairy kin, the only differences beside height is their sociability, which erodes over the years. Whilst still friendly and amiable to each other, they prefer to be alone until the mating cries call them back. They appear to sing when they detect others nearby, the vibration-communication technique offering no help in finding the direction of their species.
Vulpix
Once a forest-cat predator that stalked sleepy animals in the early hours of the morning, the Vulpix has become more popular as a human pet than ever before, though the unhappy cries they make upset some people. The Vulpix are beautiful to behold, more so when their hair whitens and they grow into Ninetales.
Ninetales
The Vulpix and Ninetales actually have one tail, but with extra clumps of hair roots that form other ?extra? tales (five more for Vulpix, eight for the Ninetales). They are a proud and feisty breed with short tempers unless well trained. Wild Ninetales can be heard vocalising during the dawn, the soft and unhappy wails disturbing for travellers to behold.
Jigglypuff
The Jigglypuff are a shy race of small, nocturnal mammals akin to the Clefairy. During the day, the Jigglypuff hide in the canopy, sleeping within the foliage. At night, however, they climb down their trees and meet up with each other. They communicate with a soft, singing melody that makes passers-by weary and heavy. The singing is accomplished by storing air in pouches below the vocal cords, causing the Jigglypuff?s chest to inflate like a frog. When the time is right, the Jigglypuff will release the air in timed bursts to create the famous melodies. The singing is at its most noticeable when the sun first goes down, as the Jigglypuff collectively herald the onset of night, such music has inspired many famous composers. They have no natural predators at night, and so will ignore onlookers unless startled, in which case they cry their sweet, fearful tunes and scatter.
Wigglytuff
The Wigglytuff have outgrown their childhood canopy-homes and make to the forest floor, living in burrows by the base of trees. They scatter like rabbits when approached and are incredibly wary of anything nearby, and pack a nasty kick if cornered. The Wigglytuff sing less frequently as they age, their songs becoming more like short, melodic wails, having collected more air and releasing it all at once. Wigglytuff is a prized dish of many restaurants in the cities.
Zubat
The Zubat are strange little flying mammals hidden away in the many sprawling cave networks of the mountains. They come in huge flocks and can rarely be found alone. They appear to be silent, but in actual fact their echolocation is too high-pitched to hear unless up close, which can damage the ears. Zubat have strange rigid feet with tiny hooks on the end from which they sway upside down from the cave roofs. Zubat do not bite or attack until they have gained the use of their infantile eyes.
Golbat
The Golbat is a matured Zubat, having opened their eyes and shed their rigid hook-legs. The Golbat are lonesome creatures who live in the corner of caves and up in trees. If one was to disturb a Golbat, it would hurtle clumsily at the offender with a choking/gulping cry that gives it its name and take a messy bite out of its prey. Golbats are not dangerous, but their bites can easily become infected as their gaping mouths are designed for swallowing rather than biting which leaves wounds messy and painful.
Oddish
The Oddish are small, blue-beetroot coloured creatures with a tuft of grass-like hair that many mistake for a plant. The Oddish move around freely at all hours, but will submerge themselves in foliage to appear as grass when they detect other life-forms approaching. The Oddish are a silent, small species and are hard to find. One trick is to stay perfectly still in the suspected area of an Oddish and wait for it to uncover itself, believing the threat to be gone. During the mating season, Oddish will become more frequent and, at night, will release small glowing spores into the ground to be nurtured into new Oddish.
Gloom
The Gloom is an up-country variant of the Oddish. The dense jungle environment means the Gloom can afford to forgo its cousin?s fearful hiding and adapt to become a larger animal. The Gloom?s headpiece has adapted too, becoming akin to indigenous jungle plants. The Gloom eats food by drooling over plant life with its acidic saliva and drinking the resulting gloop. Looking for eroded leaves or sticky goo is a sure sign of a Gloom in the area.
Vileplume
As the Gloom develop, the plant-shapes on their head change in colour and size, bulging with Oddish spores. The Vileplume undergoes a burst of spore-releasing until it dies. During the day, it roots itself into the ground and spores, becoming, practically, a plant. At night, they uproot themselves and seek out sustenance to last another day of spore-planting. Should you uncover a Vileplume during the day by uprooting it accidently, it will panic and release a shower of spores that stick to your clothing and attract insects.
Paras
The Paras are small, crab-like crustaceans found in steamy jungle environments often beneath the base of trees or under rocks, where the moisture sustains their mushroom hosts. When a Parasect ejects its spores, it plants them into nearby mushroom from which the Paras lives off. The Paras behaves like living lichen, taking the nutrients gathered from the fungus whilst keeping it alive at the same time. Paras can be heard by the unnerving scuttling sounds they make by rubbing their claws together. They are harmless, but will nip when provoked.
Parasect
The Parasect have swelled beyond original size, no longer fitting under roots or rocks. Instead, they retreat underneath the gloom of their own fungi host, which has grown to the size of a football. They happily move around during the day and night, but will hide from oncoming footfalls. They are carnivorous, and have been known to take on prey as large as Bulbasaur.
The Bulbasaur are small dog-sized herbivores that gather in small groups, usually in forest clearings nearby their nests. Bulbasaurs are the younger forms of Ivysaur and the matriarchal Venusaur, who stay closer to the nests. Bulbasaur will group closer together when they spot something moving, and will scatter if surprised. In the mating season, the males will gather in small huddles and challenge brash intruders. They mew when frightened.

The Sandshrew can be found in the deserts and scrubland of the southern lands, the huge sand-flats making them difficult to track. They live underground and will only surface should they encounter any resistance or danger underground. They can sometimes be seen surfacing and immediately burrowing a short distance away like a fish might do so in water. They are a silent species, having no mouths to speak of save for a small proboscis for eating insects.
Sandslash
Sandslash are the aged form of Sandshrew, having shunned the insects they dined on in their youth in favour of small desert prey. The Sandslash use their huge claws to dig just below ground, waiting for the tell-tale tremors of incoming prey. Should you run too quickly or too loudly, a Sandslash may mistake you for food and leap out with terrible claws and hurt you. Should you accidently uncover one by stepping on it, you will be greeted with a foot full of quills. Finding yourself in the desert in need of food, locating a Sandslash and waiting for it to catch something is the best way of stealing food from this unforgiving environ.
Nidoran
The Nidoran are a zoological anomaly in the sense that their male and female counterparts divulge into completely separate variations of their species. They live high up in the mountains, just around the treeline, and their wailing mews can be heard for miles. The females are like strange leather-skinned rabbits, with buck teeth and large ears, but with a blue tinge to their skin and bony protrusions that constitute the beginnings of armour. The males are purplish in hue, their ears more pointed and their bony growths more jagged and aggressive-looking. They are nimble creatures that dart about in packs, always with an older Nidorino or Nidorina, and will flee in groups when startled.
Nidorina
Nidorina are the females of the Nidoran species that have developed in growth. Whilst significantly larger, they have grown into their spiky form and their protrusions are less significant. The driving herd-instinct of the Nidoran mean that when threatened, the Nidorina will place itself between the threat and the young of the herd, growling menacingly. This is unlike the Nidorino, who hurtles itself into combat with no thought for the herd.
Nidoqueen
These majestic Queens of the Hills are docile vegetarians who are the leaders of the large Nidoran herds that wander the valleys. In the mating season, the herds leave their Nidoqueen to allow her and possible mates room. Upon the arrival of winter, they return to their Nidoqueen?s embrace. The Nidoqueen is a large, well-armoured opponent, and so is unbothered by the larger mountain predators and ignores humans mostly. However, when injured or in the presence of young, the Nidoqueen will cry a great mournful tune that wards off any lesser opponents and attacks anything that approaches brashly.
Nidorino
Nidorino is the male version of a mid-life Nidoran. Its legs are longer and its protrusions larger and more vicious-looking. They emit high-pitched grunts when distressed, but grumble most of the time. The Nidorino is the opposite of the Nidorina, and, instead of concern for the herd, it instinctively goes at any threat with its vicious claws and horns.
Nidoking
The Nidoking is the later-life stage of a male Nidoran. They have abandoned their life-long packs in favour of a lonesome lifestyle, their immense bulk and hunger too great for sharing and living with others. However, the natural Nidoran herd-instinct calls it back, and so the Nidoking spends the rest of its years storming about the mountain tops mating with random Nidoqueen it encounters and picking fights with anything unwise enough to stand still. The Nidoking can be heard when nearby, its agonised grunts and furious roars do not carry far, but are very loud up close. Tell-tale signs include smashed rocks and broken trees.
Clefairy
Clefairies are small, nocturnal mammals that live amongst the roots of trees. Although they chirrup and whistle adorably, they actually communicate by vibrating their large, pointed ears very quickly. The reverberations are picked up by other Clefairy ears which allow communication across huge distances. They are inquisitive and naïve and will approach anything that appears friendly. Many a traveller has woken to find a group of Clefairy standing over him excitedly.
Clefable
The Clefable are similar behaviour-wise to their younger Clefairy kin, the only differences beside height is their sociability, which erodes over the years. Whilst still friendly and amiable to each other, they prefer to be alone until the mating cries call them back. They appear to sing when they detect others nearby, the vibration-communication technique offering no help in finding the direction of their species.
Vulpix
Once a forest-cat predator that stalked sleepy animals in the early hours of the morning, the Vulpix has become more popular as a human pet than ever before, though the unhappy cries they make upset some people. The Vulpix are beautiful to behold, more so when their hair whitens and they grow into Ninetales.
Ninetales
The Vulpix and Ninetales actually have one tail, but with extra clumps of hair roots that form other ?extra? tales (five more for Vulpix, eight for the Ninetales). They are a proud and feisty breed with short tempers unless well trained. Wild Ninetales can be heard vocalising during the dawn, the soft and unhappy wails disturbing for travellers to behold.
Jigglypuff
The Jigglypuff are a shy race of small, nocturnal mammals akin to the Clefairy. During the day, the Jigglypuff hide in the canopy, sleeping within the foliage. At night, however, they climb down their trees and meet up with each other. They communicate with a soft, singing melody that makes passers-by weary and heavy. The singing is accomplished by storing air in pouches below the vocal cords, causing the Jigglypuff?s chest to inflate like a frog. When the time is right, the Jigglypuff will release the air in timed bursts to create the famous melodies. The singing is at its most noticeable when the sun first goes down, as the Jigglypuff collectively herald the onset of night, such music has inspired many famous composers. They have no natural predators at night, and so will ignore onlookers unless startled, in which case they cry their sweet, fearful tunes and scatter.
Wigglytuff
The Wigglytuff have outgrown their childhood canopy-homes and make to the forest floor, living in burrows by the base of trees. They scatter like rabbits when approached and are incredibly wary of anything nearby, and pack a nasty kick if cornered. The Wigglytuff sing less frequently as they age, their songs becoming more like short, melodic wails, having collected more air and releasing it all at once. Wigglytuff is a prized dish of many restaurants in the cities.
Zubat
The Zubat are strange little flying mammals hidden away in the many sprawling cave networks of the mountains. They come in huge flocks and can rarely be found alone. They appear to be silent, but in actual fact their echolocation is too high-pitched to hear unless up close, which can damage the ears. Zubat have strange rigid feet with tiny hooks on the end from which they sway upside down from the cave roofs. Zubat do not bite or attack until they have gained the use of their infantile eyes.
Golbat
The Golbat is a matured Zubat, having opened their eyes and shed their rigid hook-legs. The Golbat are lonesome creatures who live in the corner of caves and up in trees. If one was to disturb a Golbat, it would hurtle clumsily at the offender with a choking/gulping cry that gives it its name and take a messy bite out of its prey. Golbats are not dangerous, but their bites can easily become infected as their gaping mouths are designed for swallowing rather than biting which leaves wounds messy and painful.
Oddish
The Oddish are small, blue-beetroot coloured creatures with a tuft of grass-like hair that many mistake for a plant. The Oddish move around freely at all hours, but will submerge themselves in foliage to appear as grass when they detect other life-forms approaching. The Oddish are a silent, small species and are hard to find. One trick is to stay perfectly still in the suspected area of an Oddish and wait for it to uncover itself, believing the threat to be gone. During the mating season, Oddish will become more frequent and, at night, will release small glowing spores into the ground to be nurtured into new Oddish.
Gloom
The Gloom is an up-country variant of the Oddish. The dense jungle environment means the Gloom can afford to forgo its cousin?s fearful hiding and adapt to become a larger animal. The Gloom?s headpiece has adapted too, becoming akin to indigenous jungle plants. The Gloom eats food by drooling over plant life with its acidic saliva and drinking the resulting gloop. Looking for eroded leaves or sticky goo is a sure sign of a Gloom in the area.
Vileplume
As the Gloom develop, the plant-shapes on their head change in colour and size, bulging with Oddish spores. The Vileplume undergoes a burst of spore-releasing until it dies. During the day, it roots itself into the ground and spores, becoming, practically, a plant. At night, they uproot themselves and seek out sustenance to last another day of spore-planting. Should you uncover a Vileplume during the day by uprooting it accidently, it will panic and release a shower of spores that stick to your clothing and attract insects.
Paras
The Paras are small, crab-like crustaceans found in steamy jungle environments often beneath the base of trees or under rocks, where the moisture sustains their mushroom hosts. When a Parasect ejects its spores, it plants them into nearby mushroom from which the Paras lives off. The Paras behaves like living lichen, taking the nutrients gathered from the fungus whilst keeping it alive at the same time. Paras can be heard by the unnerving scuttling sounds they make by rubbing their claws together. They are harmless, but will nip when provoked.
Parasect
The Parasect have swelled beyond original size, no longer fitting under roots or rocks. Instead, they retreat underneath the gloom of their own fungi host, which has grown to the size of a football. They happily move around during the day and night, but will hide from oncoming footfalls. They are carnivorous, and have been known to take on prey as large as Bulbasaur.

Maybe it's not the pokemon that needs to get realistic - but us that need to get cartoon-a-fied.

I didn't think Scyther learned hyper beam either. Trick is, I checked.Daffy F said:

I'm pretty sure they were talking about Scyther with Grim Reaper scythes for hands and just scythes for hands. Not to mention Double A, the first guy to talk about it, said Scyther specifically.
I don't mean to rag on you, its just in my nature to correct someone when I know I'm right.
Pokemon would be pretty frightening at first, but then the military or someone would come up with effective weapons or something and after a few decades they would either be in zoo's and wildlife reserves or completely extinct....Unless magicarp kills us all first lol, but seriously I think the pokemon I'd be most afraid of would be just about any of them that I couldn't effectively kick in the face and actually do damage.
