You honestly can't tell me you wouldn't call a cassowary pokemon a Cassoworry, because they're essentially velociraptors. Seriously, they're fucking scary as shit.Jonathan Fifer said:
Oh yeah also, for the last guy, Spinda is a panda. Kinda obvious when you think about it, but I get how it could be missed. ;P
OT: I'd love to see, as stated above, a cassowary, but I'd love to see an African wild dog, a Cheetah and a Koala or monitor lizard.
As for at least a few of the already stated pokmon in this thread, I give you the in-progress Fakedex of Lydario from Deviantart.com.
ANd here's his DA page. http://lydario.deviantart.com/
Thanks for that. Resembles and the anime pose I understand, but they might as well have one very close to since it would be interesting for combat, and as you said, bad ass.Torrasque said:Then I direct your attention to this.Nazulu 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.
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.
They have a dragonfly that looks exactly the same as a dragonfly, a moth that looks near exact as a moth, a beetle that looks, well you get the picture. I like what they did with Scyther, but like I said earlier, I would allow them to make one close to exact.
Good choices with the gazelle, leech and goat. I can't remember them either.RaikuFA said:
as for antlions, they do have them. The larvae at least.
A koala a Llama (not sure about that one) and a peacock?
My knowledge of pokemon is a bit rubbish though.
I just want to say my favourite pokemon atm is Mareep. <3

Platypus, Koala, Tasmanian Devil, Blob Fish, Flea, Fly, Racoon, Kiwi bird, Tape Worm.
And I can't think of anything else.

Mudkip is based off that thing? Gross.SilverJin02 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:
And remember, they take creative liberties when creating these, ok?
Rampardos at least somewhat bears a resemblance.
Try telling me that thing looks anything like the Mudkip family, which is based off of it.
i just want to say this so that everyone knows and remember's it's glory, what Pokemon is a tank?

That's the sound of a joke completely going over your head.

and before someone says a salamander, remember that wooper's evolution, Quagsire, is a salamander.
I hope we don't see a Geoduck(Goo-ee-duck). And I have a feeling a woodpecker will show up sometime in the Poke-Future.
joltik is a tick/spider hybrid, but I guess it gets a pass as a flea too.godfist88 said:
Also, to all the spider haters out there, Spinarak, ariados, joltik, galvantula.
