Linoone is more of a ferret I thought.DeadlyYellow said:
They don't have scythe hands, they capture prey under claws, but they can fly witch I just learned. The body is nothing a like though, that's the unique pray mantis bit it misses.Torrasque said:Scythe-hands, wings, body... none of that strikes you as similar? =|Nazulu said:The only thing that makes Scyther look similar to a prey mantis is that they're both green.Torrasque said:
I'll allow them to make something resemble closer.
As for Sudowoodo, I said "my best guess"
I know he looks nothing like a stick insect, but I can't imagine them making an actual stick insect. Sudowoodo is probably the closest they'll make.
There has been no dolphin so far.Panzer_God said:
Actually, Hitmonlee is based off Bruce Lee. Otherwise it'd probably be Hitmonli. Since that's how you spell Jet's last name.IrishAdams said:Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee would be the men, as they are based off of Jet Lee and Jackie Chan.

Barboach is in no way a shrimp or anything close to it. It's a catfish.Ken_J said:

Need someone dual-wielding swordfish instead, I'd say.Christopher N said:

If you are too lazy to go to it, it lists Scyther as "The Mantis" Pokemon.
Under physiology, it says:
<quote=Bulbapedia>Scyther resembles a primarily green, human-sized praying mantis with accents of cream coloration. It has large, blade-like forearms and a pair of cream-colored wings. Its head is reptilian rather than insect in shape, with three small points, and its feet possess three claws.So you see, the differences you notice, are just an artist taking artistic initiative and making it look cool.
Yes, I know praying mantis look badass, but if every pokemon looked exactly like the animal it was based off of, Pokemon wouldn't be the same.
Well, we definitely have a kangaroo. We covered that in Gen 1 with Kangaskhan.Biosophilogical said:
Yes they have. In Gen 4 with Hippopotas and Hippowdon.TheEndlessSleep said:
Uhhh...this is Pokemon, remember? I realize it's not directly based off one. But it's an extinct animal that was close enough to what they made.godfist88 said:
