So I read this article about a caterpillar today, and I think it would be a really neat idea for a pokemon. But I'm sure there are more as well. What animals do you think would make good pokemon? Do you know any fakemon that are based off of particularly interesting animals?

I'm surprised to this date that no Pokémon has been based upon the humble elephant. We've lions, tigers and bears oh my, but no blatant elephant Pokémon as of yet.

EDIT: Forgot Phanphy and Donphan were a thing. Still. They share traits, but I imagine that someone could do another rather nifty two stage evolution built upon the concept.

Dear lord, there are so many fish, they could probably fill a whole pokedex with them!

Also, even though this isn't really animal - related, mythological creatures might be pretty cool. Maybe a Cthulhu pokemon, or a sphinx one?

I've personally always wanted to see a pokemon based off a hyena too.

Mightyena sort of is, although he is much more wolf like.

What about more horned mammals? We have deer, and a bull, but i don't remember any moose, elk, caribou, etc.

I want to know when we're getting a dolphin! We have sharks and god knows how many fish but no dolphin. Yes we have Wailmer/Wailord- but they are definitely not the agile dolphin. Come on, we even have something named after (though not resembling) the dugong. We have a manatee before the second/third most intelligent animal on this planet!

Someone should make a sea pig Pokemon. Those things are so squishy and adorable man.

I think Santler was sort of meant to be caribou-ish. Or elk?

Just put this in the next version. Look, it's even already been made into a pokemon! Seriously though. Goblin Shark's are awesome.

The pink fairy armadillo, a burrowing armadillo from South America, would make for an interesting Ground/Fairy type. I was considering at first to suggest a golden mole for the typing, but they look like digletts.

In addition to a dolphin pokemon, there should be a couple more whales. Like a beluga, narwhal, or humpback whale.

And also: Mantis shrimps. They are too crazy to not mention. I mean, seriously, they strike their club-arms hard enough they produce temperatures several thousand degrees Celsius.
