Some I've been thinking on: -I know Kyogre exists but I'd love a true orca pokemon. I made one that was mono-Water but akin to Combee had a final form that was female only that was Water/Fairy to tie in with how orcas are highly matriarchal animals and Fairy being kind of our "moon" type and the moon's connection with the sea, femininity, and other things (plus it's the type that completely counters Dragons, so perfect for an apex predator), but other obvious combos like Dark, Fighting, Steel, and Ice could also work. -Similarly I'd love a true tiger pokemon (we do have Raikou, T!Landorus, and Incineroar but I want something you like at and go *oh that's a TIGER*). One I drew up in the past was a white tiger that was Ice/Fairy and only had the Fairy typing since it was part of a duo with a Dragon/Fairy type (they were contrasting psuedo-legends akin to Metagross and Salamence but based on the Chinese constellations), so hypothetically the Fairy could also be interchangeable. Fighting is obvious, we already have too many Dark type cats, Psychic or just keep Fairy maybe since tigers have antiseptic saliva and in Chinese mythos some tigers could also exorcise/ward against evil spirits from what I've read, and I'd love to see someone play into that (in general we need more Psychic and Fairy cats when you look into how perfect they are for that type between healing/therapeutic qualities and keen senses). -I was doing a bit of research into obscure dogs and found out about this endangered landrace livestock guardian called the bankhar (you may look it up and read more about it if you want but be forewarned that the reasons behind it being endangered are extremely depressing, as in EXTREMELY depressing), and from its description in legends you'd swear it actually were a pokemon. To sum up descended from a colossal dog, seen as having a human's soul, able to see into other realms, used as a companion in war, etc., so went with Psychic/Fighting. -A sailfish or other kinds of billfish would be lovely. Maybe a Water/Fire or Water/Steel type to combine the fastest fish with the concept of a racing car. -Once had a fun idea for a literal rosefinch, Grass/Flying, females were wild roses and had higher stats but males while having lower stats were more colorful and had more forms based on flashier variants of domesticated roses. -Also a fun idea I had once, a Bug/Electric wasp that is, like Porygon, a digital pokemon, or rather, was created to be a symbiotic partner to Porygon by defending it from malware. Since wasps are territorial, have paralyzing venom, and after the initial sting can mark an enemy of the hive with a pheromone to alert the rest of danger, it acts as an ideal antivirus and basically neutralizes viruses that could negatively affect Porygon or Porygon-2 or even the Rotom in your phone or laptop. -Honestly all my life I wanted to see a Poison/Steel rat pokemon that starts off using junk as tools (like a classic thimble for a helmet, a napkin for a cape, and a straightened-out paperclip for a sword) but then evolves into an actual knight. -Also something I wanted all my life, Normal/Ghost bigfoot pokemon

I think i Nice idea for a cheetah pokemon would be a Ground/Ghost pokemon

I like your ideas, I'd say the first is a bit too similar to Raikou though. The most common insect ever hasn't even been made a pokémon, House Fly. What about Magpies, Shoe (Chinpokomon), Mosquito, wasp or even the Goose?

that\s why we need a region which is inspired by Australia. There are a lot of prehistoric animals/ marsupials that they can still use.

Slurpuff: I'M THE FLAMIGO QUEEN!!!!!

My top 8 animals id want as pokemon: Ankylosaurus - This is the type of dinosaur with a big club as part of its tail and am armored back. For this id say rock/normal or rock/fighting and yes it would be a fossil pokemon. Honey Badger - Now some may think these animals are cute and maybe they are i dunno but from what i hear they CAN get vicious and up in your face if yer not careful. For this pokemon id give it the Normal/Fighting type. Electric Eel - Obviously a water electric type but one i would not mind seeing as a pokemon someday. StoneFish - A water/Poison type Poison Dart frog - for this one id say Poison or Poison/Normal Cane Toad - Pure Poison Hyena - Dark or Dark/Normal Gorilla - yeah i know we have a few different monkey pokemon already but for me yeah I want a Gorilla pokemon. I dunno how many evos it would have but for the Males they would have a silverback look on their character sprites. Pure Fighting type

Yes! Im tired of seeing so many dog or cat pokemon when there are still so many interesting animals to base their pokemon on

We Need A SwordFish Pokémon

No normals?

Another idea for shiny Gholdengo would be becoming pink gold.

Can you think about doing a Polteageist for every type?: Dark type- becomes a coffee decanter Electric type- becomes a soda can or energy drink Grass type- becomes a kale smoothie Fire type- becomes a hot sauce bottle Flying type- becomes a rain cloud (you can drink rain water and it was all I could think of) Dragon type- becomes hot Chinese dragon soup etc.

My dumbass used to think Zeraora was a Cheetah.

One animal I can think of to be a Pokemon would be the Ratel, also known as Honey Badger.

Ok I pull up 6:47

Blobfish House Fly Okapi Pakicetus Fishing Cat Puffin Bandicoot Wallaby

There are Australian variants of possums as well. All the more reason to want an Australia/Tasmania region. You could get a physically defensive wombat Pikaclone. I agree with this whole list, and would add a couple more extinct animals: the Dodo and the Bird of Terror which was actually an herbivore. I might have included extinct sloths if it weren’t for Slaking. Capybaras would probably just be the early game normal type. That or tapirs. I guess we need a South American region as well. The regional Doduo would look sick!

I know a Pokémon that needs a prevolution stufful bc we need more red pandas in Pokémon

I know a ability the new scyther Evolution. paper cut that is The ability it’s nothing original but it works

"Theres a pokemon based off of about every big cat, except the cheetah" Who's gonna tell her?

Isn’t Altaria the hummingbird Pokemon? Correct if wrong

Why not turn holidays into pokemon? We did have Delibird, so way not start at the main ones and work our way to the International.

There is a beetle that I, personaly, wonder why it isn't a Pokemon jet. The bombardier Beetle. I put the German Word on Google translate. So you are free to correct me If it was to be spelled wrong or sum. I Don't feel like elaborating at this Point of time.😅

Totodile line's shiny colors are...fine, but I'd have preferred a color scheme based on Feraligator's original beta/Gold & Silver sprite. That jade green and deep red look was way cool and very appropriate for an ornery swamp beast. Wish they had stuck with it for the final design.

bro the Tasmanian tiger pokemon looks like a redesign of houndoom

A capybara would be a Route 1 normal type. It's a big RAT. And it's the most simple-minded animal in the world.

Cheetah' aren't even (big cats)

I totally need a Capybara pokemon for a south american region. C'mon. It's been kinda long since we left europe. And they had 3 regions (two in a row).

Wish you included an honorable mention for scarlet macaw, fiddler crab, pink fairy armadillo, and snow owl

I have always envisoned a Cheetah Pokemon with a low attack and special attack stat, which is kinda bulky and very fast, but it has the ability Drawback, which lowers it speed with 1 stage after each attack/turn, but raising its attack stats by 2, since Cheetah's aren't know for their endurance. So basically 65 attack and 60 special attack 100 defense and 110 special defense 145 speed. The Tasmanian Devil into Tasmanian Tiger concept is interesting, but i personally would make the Devil Dark/Fire, while the Tiger would be Ghost/Fire evolving knowing Destiny Bond. It would also be funny to see how they would pull off a Pokemon that is designed around White and Red Blood cells.

I wanna see Pokemons based on these: Red panda Platypus Stick bug Tomato Banana Rice Sugarcane

THE FIRST ONE LITERALY READ MY MIND IT SHOULD BE ELECTRIC

I've had this idea for a while. Capyblubber, a water type pokemon based on a Capybara and a Whale. Or Capybloon. A water type pokemon based on a Capybara and a water balloon.

Cheetahs and cougars aren't big cats.

Lionfish are cool too But we could also have a salmon based Pokemon Or a potoo or even a Pokemon based on a moose

Narwhal

Platypus Pokemon! We need a platypus!

Might be unexpected to say this, but I don't think we got a swordfish Pokemon yet. Now that would be quite interesting, maybe it could be water/steel to match the sword theme?

I'd make Quaquaval Black and white to reference the ugly duckling fairy tale

If there were a water bear pokémon I'm sure it would be a tank because that thing can survive almost everything

I think Likepard looks a lot more like a Cheeta than a Leopard because of the body shape being more agile and slim with a really long tail. Also the pink marks on Liepard's face conect the nose with the eyes, which reminds me pf Cheetah's face black marks. The only thing that makes Liepard more similar to a Leopard is their spots with dots in the middle.

How about a serval Pokémon?

Before the ghost/normal type was introduced in Hisui, I thought that the opossum would have been the perfect first crack at that. As well as a Hunger Switch style ability where it plays dead every other turn. Or maybe like Zen Mode or Defeatist.

These are all good choices. Another animal I'd like to see as a Pokémon includes the Hoatzin, a strange bird from South America that looks like it came from the Mesozoic era. They are also the only bird that only feeds on leaves and produce a foul odor because of their diet. The hatchlings are born with small claws on their wings. A Pokémon based on the Hoatzin could be either grass/flying or poison/flying type.

If we actually get proper fossil Pokémon in Gen 10, I would love one based on the Spinosaurus... actually, there are a lot of dinos I'd love to see made into Pokémon. Allosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, Carnotarurus... the list goes on! xD

Minnesotan here, feel the need to mention the Loon

Bidoof is a capybara

I could see a regional version of Clauncher and Clawitzer that are based on Mantis Shrimp as opposed to Pistol Shrimp.

We already have a humming bird inspired pokemon, Sigilyph... although it would be cool to have an actual humming bird pokemon.

*Poison Type Tinkaton Appears* Tinkaton:Boo! Seviper:Not another one! Zangoose:Nah! If anyone is killing this b- its gonna be me!

Believe it or not, Pragmagik already made a Pokémon based on a Binturong!
