Top 10 Animals That NEED to be Pokemon
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 06. 2024
- From Gen 1 to Gen 9, Kanto to Paldea, and Pokemon Red and Blue to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, we've gotten over 1000 new pokemon! Out of all of these pokemon, a majority of them are based on some sort of animal or multiple animals. Despite this, there are still plenty of real life animals that haven't been used as inspiration for new pokemon yet. Let's take a look at the top ten animals that pokemon fans in the pokemon community want to see become pokemon (and maybe even a personal choice of my own in there).
We'll be taking a look at some of the coolest, cutest and weirdest animals out there and transforming them into pokemon that you could imagine seeing right on your nintendo switch! Will these new pokemon be cute, cool, or popular among pokemon fans? We'll be exploring them all to create unique fakemon that wouldn't be surprising to see in a fakemon pokedex. I would love to see these pokemon ideas (at least the animals that inspired them) be in new pokemon games someday. Maybe we could even see these animal pokemon as early as Pokemon Legends ZA, if we get a new evolution form like Obstagoon from Pokemon Sword and Shield?
Let's go through this fakemon montage / pokemon montage to see some brand new fakemon. I'll be drawing pokemon for this compilation top 10 video, counting down to what might be the most hyped animal to become a pokemon. I hope you'll like these pokemon drawings! What animals do you want to see made into pokemon?

All of these would be sick, although I will clarify one thing you got wrong:
Mantis Shrimp punch with the *acceleration* of a bullet, not the force of one. They can hit incredibly hard, enough to shatter chitin and glass, but it’s nowhere near the power that even low-caliber bullets can have. It is a common misconception, but one I’d like to clarify.
Of course, a Pokémon based on a mantis shrimp would absolutely hit with the force of a bullet, otherwise it just wouldn’t feel Pokémon enough.
Indeed, we have to remember that for their size bullets have a lot of mass/density. This is almost as important as their speed when it comes to the damage they can do.
Its insane that we still haven't gotten a cheetah pokemon they are one of the most famous animals ever and it would look so cool
It’s signature move should be Speed of Light it’s effect is similar to Extreme Speed to strike first in every turn
Landorus, despite Bulbapedia's speculation is quite clearly a tiger primarily, being based on the White Tiger of the West. That makes the jaguar the only big cat without a Pokemon, because cheetahs are not classified as big cats since they can't roar.
Binturong, however, is a 100% yes from me. Love those guys!
Wait so you need to roar to be considered a big cat? I would think the qualifiers would be
1. Big
2. Cat
Nothing about landorus points to it being primarily being a tiger..it’s loosely based on the white tiger of the west but physically it doesn’t look like a tiger! 😅 It also might be based on aztec gods that were jaguars.
Imo it’s just not physically close enough to either to count! It’s more of a generic big cat that draws inspiration from a few. Incineroar is a better tiger pokemon, very clearly a tiger
That's why I say we need a south american region.
We would get a jaguar and even maybe a puma.
You could get a starter line from Ocelot to Jaguarundi to Jaguar.
And other fact those are the most aquatic big cats.
So there you have a water starter.
@@testerwulf3357the therian forms are based on the White Tiger of the West, the Dragon of the East and the last one that I don't remember. It just would be odd for Landorus to suddenly just not be a tiger when the others follow that same beast convention
@@BJGvideosno you do need to roar. Cheetahs meow like a common house cat. All big cats are classed under Panthera while small cats belong to Felines. The problem tho is that there are several other felines that meow and kinda go in-between a meow and a roar like cougars
Spekoy and Opaquspel from Locksteen are my favorite versions of Opposum fakemon, but this one is close! Please, I NEED A POSSUM MON!
Ideas for some of them:
- The *Tardigrade* could be one of the bulkiest pokemon out there, like Blissey's HP combined with Shuckles' both defenses with "THICK FAT"
- The *Tasmanian Devil* can be either a fast Glass Canon (based on Taz from Looney Toones) or a slow but bulky attacker
- The *Manatee* can be either a regional form of Dewgong or something similar just being bigger, heavier, bulkier and a Rock type
- The *Mantis Shrimp* can be either a Glass Canon or a slow but very bulky attacker
- The *Hummingbird* can be an incredible fast sweeper
- The *Opussum* can either have the ability "Immunity", "Toxic Boost" or "Poison Heal" or a combo between the last two or their own ability based on how they play dead
Those are all great ideas! I love seeing what people think of for things like stats and how the pokemon would be in battle 😊
The closely the first one can be is the Blissey/Shuckle fusion from Pokemon Infinite Fusion
Unusually theres also not a llama/alpaca yet, but I always imagined that to be a Grass starter for a new region. I also imagined a narwhal, a turkey, and a pomeranian that evolves into a husky/malamute are all animals I thought would be Pokemon by now!
and even though Opossums are not rodents, I always thought it would cool if they end up being part of the 'Pikachu' family and be electric type
Arceus is kinda a llama/horse/thing
Opossums could work as a pikachu clone, minun and plusle are rabbits which aren’t rodents (random fact)
But I’d rather they not be..that’d force them to be cutesy and I’d like a Opossum pokemon to have as many options as possible
The manatee should be the water starter in a potential Caribbean region
I would love a manatee starter! And a Caribbean region would be awesome 😄
@@peripatches Yeah! Representation for my ppl
Here some of mine, some of them I've already made fakemon of them:
-Black Widow
-Daddy Long Legs
-Portuguese man-o'-war
-Skeleton Panda Sea Squirt
-Vampire Squid from Hell -> Colossal Squid
-Cassowary
-Secretary Bird
Great list! 100% agree with the black widow, Portuguese man-o'-war and skeleton panda sea squirt!
How have we not gotten a secretary bird?! They're the most natural fit for flying/fighting!
*OOOOOO COOL IDEA*
*BLACK WIDOW LEGENDARY POKÉMON, EXAGGERATES THE HOURGLASS ON THE BLACK WIDOW AND THEIR NEUROTOXIC BITES THAT INHIBIT NERVOUS SYSTEM ACTIVITY*
*BY MAKING IT HAVE A PARALYZING BITE THAT MAKES THEIR PREY SEEM FROZEN IN TIME*
For a Cassowary, a Psychic type doduo evolution where the second head fuses to the back of first, it’s beak becoming the famous cask. It’s named Caskawarey, because its cask is aware and wary.
Tentacruel does have some design aspects of the Man o War, but an actual one would be really cool! Maybe even an evolution or regional form of Tentacruel.
Cheetah and Black Panther! Black Panthers need to be a pokemon too. I would name it,
Pantherine.
Black panthers arent a separate species they basically irl shinies
@@malxireIt’s the opposite of albinism pretty much! Instead of lacking pigment they have so much their fur is black. A number of species can be “black panthers” but the one most associated with the label is leopards!
I once thought up a concept for an opossum as well, though it was a Psychic and Dark type. I called it Phopossom, the Phony Pokemon. It lays on the side of paths, pretending to be injured to attract the attention of people passing by, but when they get close to investigate, Phopossom unleashes a psychic power that puts the person to sleep, giving it an opportunity to scout their bags for food or anything else before running off.
Also, the hummingbird Pokemon looks familiar, I think you used it in the Loyal 3 video? Glad to see hummingbirds getting some love here!
That's a great idea for an opossum pokemon! I like how your is such a little trickster 😄
Yep it got a little cameo in that video! Great eye
And for secret number 11, either Mandibuzz and/or Fearow might have a Dragon-Type final form that is based of Bearded Vultures. No kidding..... Bearded Vultures are one of the real-life creatures that looks exactly like actual dragons. Ribbon-tailed Astrapias, Secretary Birds, Draco Lizards, Frilled-necked Lizards, Blue Dragon Sea Slugs, Pink Dragon Millipedes, Giant Oarfishes, Gila Monsters, Chinese Alligators, Dragon Sea Moths, Palmas Dragonfishes, Deep-Sea Dragonfishes, Great Potoos, Great Eared Nightjars, you named it
Baluga whales, bumble bees, and various breeds of dogs, like german shepards, and various breeds of cats, like tuxedos.
Great choices! And we can never have too many dog and cat pokemon 😊
Isn't Houndoom more or less a German shepherd?
@@BJGvideos No, they're based on a doberman.
Tuxedo isn’t a cat breed, it’s a fur pattern. Though I would love to see a cat pokemon with the tuxedo pattern! Maybe it could be a spy cat in its little suit ❤
The Tasmanian Devil and the Thylacine could be a convergent evolution for the Houndour line, since they look similar.
I think a tylacine Pokemon could be ghost type since there have been numerous unconfirmed sittings of it since it went extint giving it the nickname the ghost of Tasmania or something like that
A ghost type would work so well!
Funny thing. In my Fakemon region I have a 2 staged Tasmanian Devil that goes from Fire to Fire/Dark and a Thylacine as my Grass starter that eventually becomes Grass/Dark.
Tasmanian Devil would be a great Route 1. I miss Tasmanian Tigers/Wolves
as a thylacine lover, i think a ghost/rock fossil thylacine would be sick as hell. a vengeful spirit going after hunters! i also think the fire/dark you did was great with the stripes being on fire!
Oh man a ghost/rock thylacine pokemon would be so cool! Thank you! I'm glad you liked the fire stripe idea 😄
Ghost typing on a fossil would feel really weird though, since you revive it from being a fossil, but then its technically still dead.
Personally, I want the Blue Glaucus, Tasmanian Tiger, and Elysia Timida
Just saw the Tasmanian tiger, and it is amazing.
Those are all such great choices!
A Manatee would be awesome. I would totally use one for my team.
Maybe a regional pancham based on the nickname for racoons "trash panda."
There are A LOT for insects that need to be Pokémon like mosquitoes and roaches. I would also like to see one based off of a Monarch Butterfly or a Luna Moth.
There already is a roach Pokémon, it’s an ultra beast phermosa
Isn't Frosmoth supposed to be a Luna Moth? It even evolves at night and its shiny is a green color like the real world Luna moth.
I'd love to have more bug type pokémon based on actual bugs, right now surskit's on its own. Imagine a giant waterbug or ambush bug pokémon! Though at this rate, a stinkbug would be quite welcome.
Plus there's definitely room for more dipterans, a rat-tailed maggot or a robber fly would make awesome pokémon! And yes we recently got a roach, but there still hasn't been a termite pokémon, which is a bit surprising.
There already is a lunar moth, it’s name is Dustox
ever since I watched Coco, I always had this idea for a central American region called Zawales, and one of the Pokemon there was a mixture of a thylacine and a chupacabra, the mythical goat-sucking cryptid. I felt like these two ideas went too well together.
other animals i want Pokemon made from are antelope, spider monkey/baboons, cassowary, beluga whales, jaguars, Flying fish, roadrunners, armadillo, elephant seal, water buffalo and ankylosaurus
Any kind of chupacabra inspired pokemon would be awesome to see for sure!
@@peripatches all i can think about is the Phineas and Ferb song about them
@@asurathewriter4435 The ankylosaurs can be either Rock/Fighting or Rock/Steel.
@@ma3mc3mu-X I was actually thinking i could be our first ice/poison type to check off my most wanted type combo
I think kakapo pokemonwould be great. A grass/psychic type being clueless and carefree like slowpoke and psyduck because they are the heaviest parrots on the planet and have lived fot thousands of years without being hunted by other animals, this is why their wings deevolved and why its sooo heavy.
:3
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.
an opossum pokemon could be fun. it’d also be interesting to get a possum pokemon as well as a kiwi pokemon as their prey, serving as a commentary on possums being an invasive species for new zealand.
Cheatah, dark psychic type.
The Prankster Pokémon.
This Pokémon is incredibly slow but it uses its expert mind to figure out the sneakiest way to make it look fast while in reality it is barely walking.
Stat comprehension: bulky, slow, and have very high special attack
I've heard before that animals like manatees have been mistaken for mermaids in the past, so maybe the fairy type could fit a more whimsical manatee pokemon
That would be a great concept to base a manatee pokemon on!
That's Primarina lol
@@sveipr6516 lol
My picks would be
-Sphynx cats
-Hyenas (Mightyena doesn’t feel hyena enough)
-Sea Bunnies
-Jerboas
A more proper Hyena Pokémon would be nice to see.
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.
Cougars and Cheetahs may be large cats in size but they are no "big cats". Only Tigers Lions, Jaguars, Leopards and Snowleopards are.
I was playing SV blind and got in a wild battle. I tilted the camera and saw a red ball hovering in the air. "It must be a hummingbird!" I exclaimed, and hurried through the encounter so i could check it out...only for the rest of the trainer to load in. What i saw was a Pokéball the trainer was bouncing in their hand. I want my hummingbird...
Also, to make water bears cuter? You shut your mouth they're adorable!
We need a budgie pokémon and we need it yesterday
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.
Oh my goodness I've seen pictures of that bird before but never knew what it's name was! Or how interesting it's diet is. Thanks for sharing 😄
@@peripatches No problem ^_^
I had the pleasure and honor to see them in the wild during a trip through Ecuador while staying in a couple of nights in the amazon.
"Theres a pokemon based off of about every big cat, except the cheetah"
Who's gonna tell her?
Lionfish are cool too
But we could also have a salmon based Pokemon
Or a potoo or even a Pokemon based on a moose
Before some unused type combos were introduced in later generations, I had thought some ideas: peacock spider (bug/psychic), arctic mosquito (bug/ice), mountain bighorn sheep (ice/fighting), opossum (fire/ghost) based on the legend of the "tlacuache" that used its tail to bring fire to mankind.
If there is one animal I really want a Pokémon based on it, it’s the Spix’s Macaw. It would be a dream come true for me as someone who is a fan of both Pokémon and the movie Rio. (I also want a region based on Rio Brazil) Also funnily enough I have brought up capybaras before when talking about my dream region and my dream Pokémon as Brazil does have a lot of interesting ideas for Pokémon and not just the aforementioned Spix’s Macaw.
Great video, these animals are great for Pokemon. I can't wait to finally get a dalmatian Pokemon which I think would be water type because of their ties to firefighters.
Thank you 😊 A water type dalmatian would be fantastic!
@@peripatches You're welcome 😁, yeah it would be, two things I'm still wanting to happen in Pokemon is more eeveelutions cause I still think we'll get more someday and for us to explore outer space which is something in Pokemon that I definitely want to learn more about.
Water type would also suit it because the breed got its name from its spots reminding people of islands, leading it to be named after an island cluster.
Nice arts! I really like your content :)
Thank you so much! 😄
I want another sea angel pokemon or a sea sheep pokemon and I also want the beta fire seal pokemon that balanced a flaming magma ball on its nose
Great ideas!
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?
You're right, I don't think we have gotten a swordfish pokemon yet! That typing and playing up the sword concept would be really neat to see 😄
@@peripatches Yeah, that would make for such an interesting Pokemon in gen 10, if Game Freak actually takes that idea and runs with it.
The only other water/steel type we have is Empolean, so we're in desperate need for a new one. And a Swordfish pokemon would have super high attack and speed, making it a dangerous water/steel sweeper.
We already have a humming bird inspired pokemon, Sigilyph... although it would be cool to have an actual humming bird pokemon.
Huh. Never occurred to me, but I guess that is the Nazca line sigilyph is closest to.
I could also see the Opossum getting the grass, fairy, or ice type. Opossums arent nasty creatures, theyre really the opposite, rarely biting. Basically, looks like could kill you, is a cinnamon roll lol
5:08 That aspect WAS actually already used in Pokemon with Crabrawler and Crabominable. Although, they don't look much like the mantis shrimp.😉🦀🥊
YAY IM VERY EARLY ❤❤❤ and i agree with most of these! Mabye a griffin pokemon would be cool too?
I'm shocked we haven't gotten a griffin pokemon yet! That would be awesome!
Type: Null looks kind of like a gryphon to me, though I guess not quite a conventional one, missing wings and a beak. It's still got the talons at front, paws at back of a gryphon at least.
Since we got multiple proper wolves a dolphin, flamingo chickadee & proper Ravens I’d say my most wanted representation for Pokemon would be a hummingbird, parasaurolophus, thylacine, cheetah, Vaquita, puffin, narwhal/ beluga. Opossum& a proper raccoon
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
Eelektross is at least part electric eel (though it's definitely got quite a bit of lamprey in it). Croagunk is pretty poison-dart-frog-esque, and rillaboom is definitely based on a gorilla.
And mightyena is technically based on a hyena, but there still hasn't been a pokémon based on a spotted hyena, so there's certainly room for one.
Your water capybara is soooo adorable! And your babiralon (i forgot how to write this lol, its that similar to raccoon) is so cool, i tried to make once in a live, but mine was awful and completely scrapped xD
Aww thank you Fae! ♥ I think drawing anything live would make things extra tricky. Anytime I've tried drawing in front of someone the art is 10x worse than usual 😂
Rattlesnakes ARE pit vipers. If a Tasmanian tiger was a fossil Pokémon, it should be Rock/Ghost. I could see a Virginia opossum as Posion/Dark or Poison/Ghost. Now what about an armadillo? Sandshrew and Sandslash are pangolins.
tbh, having a fossil Pokemon be a ghost type seems kinda weird for me, since you revive it, but it still technically is dead.
5:29 Clauncher and Clawitzer already have the long range ability, since they're inspired by the "pistol shrimp" which has a power to launch pressurized bubbles from its claws so that it sounds like a pistol shot, hence their name.🤨🦐🔫
I want all these to be Pokémon one day. I also want a platypus Pokémon as well. No! Psyduck and Golduck don’t count.
Capybara pokemon NEED to have a abylity called: "Ok i pull up"
Fun Fact: Mantis shrimp can make enough friction from punching to release a punch hotter than the surface of the sun.
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 know we kinda got a Peacock with Quaquaval, but I truly want an actual Peacock pokemon. The design options are endless with the numerous typings it could be like flying, grass, fairy, psychic, etc. Personally I'd really like a Grass Type Peacock where it's tail feathers were reminiscent of leaves/petals.
To well known animals that I would like to see as Pokemon:
Hammerhead Shark-Water/Steel
Cassowary Bird-Dark/Flying
Termite-Bug
Gibbon-Normal/Pyschic
Iguana-Water
Gila Monster-Poison/Ground
Komodo Dragon-Dragon/Poison
Make the skeleton panda sea squirt, it's a new Japan species and they did nothing with it yet
I heard about that discovery! So cool!
@peripatches ghost/water type tho
These would all be good choices for Pokemon
1:48: Yes, because tardigrades toootally aren't adorable already.
Also, I like the idea of a ghost-type manatee. It also kind of fits their order being "Sirenia", named after a mythological creature.
If we get a region based on somewhere in South America I think they should make the capybara the early rodent
I would love an early route capybara pokemon! Fingers crossed for a South America region someday 🤞
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.
Totally agree! I would love to see an official Australia region!
@@peripatches me too
Aye-aye was one, but we’ve got it now with generation nine. I guess another on my list is narval.
Was Grafaiai everything you wanted?
Cetitan is at least part narwhal, albeit with some other whale inspiration as well.
One animal i do wanna see becone a Pokèmon is the Yellow Jacket. A Bug/Flying type is perfect for a yellow jacket Pokèmon.
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.
Minnesotan here, feel the need to mention the Loon
I think after the hype for laser loon, that's a fantastic choice 😂
One animal I can think of to be a Pokemon would be the Ratel, also known as Honey Badger.
Peacock is also good choice as legendary fairy/psychic type
Peacocks sure have been conspicuously absent throughout the games, only now just barely being represented by being a partial inspiration for quaquaval. It's also mystifying that there still isn't a turkey pokémon.
omg i just cant stop waching this ngl
Here are some of my suggestions for new Pokemon inspirations:
- Archerfish, which has an ability to squirt water from its mouth to catch insects above for food
- Dolphin/orca, because they're cute and because the only whale-like pokemon thus far are Wailmer and Wailord
- Platypus, because there aren't enough Australia-inspired pokemon
Finizen and palafin just fixed the absence of dolphins, and kyogre's been around as long as wailmer. Also, gen 9 brought another new cetacean line in cetoddle and cetitan.
I thought we already had a manitis shrimp pokemon, Clauncher.
Clauncher seems more like a pistol shrimp to me.
Yes! Im tired of seeing so many dog or cat pokemon when there are still so many interesting animals to base their pokemon on
My list
10 Pacman frog
9 Glyptodon
8 Blobfish
7 Bigfin squiid
6 Sponge
5 Stick insect
4 Caecilian
3 Frogfish
2 Hammerhead flatworm
1 Bobbit worm (please, gamefreak you gotta give me my adorable terrifying bobbit worm!)
That's such a unique list! Learned a few new animals today 😄 I would love to see a pacman frog, glyptodon or frogfish pokemon!
@@peripatches I'm very glad!
I always thought giratina looked pretty bobbit-worm-ish. Dragon is a bit of a weird way to go about it, but I still enjoy it!
@@jaschabull2365 I personally thought giratina resembled a hammerhead flatworm actually. But I can see giratina possibly being a bobbit worm. In fact, you bringing that up gave me a bit more of an appreciation for giratina.
There should be a capybara Pokémon that’s literally just a capybara, no defining attributes, just *C A P Y B A R A* ( and it has a signature move just called “ok I pull up” )
Cool video! I wish there was a kangaroo or rhinoceros Pokémon That didn't look like a dinosaur like Kanghaskhan and Rhydon. There could also be a maned wolf Pokémon, Even though there are people saying that the manectric is already one
I also think we need more fish. I know we aren't really desperate for water pokemon, but I think it's weird we don't have more fish pokemon than we do. Personally I'd like to see:
Tigerfish
Sturgeon
Swordfish
Stingray (Mantyke & Mantine are Mantas)
Another Shark (weird Sharpedo is the only one so far lol)
Cheetahs, possums, capybaras, humming birds, Tasmanian devils and thylacines are all among my list of must haves for Pokémon. I also want to see a raccoon Pokémon in a future North American region, hopefully that won't be shot down or come out differently from how I want to expect it as. I have created some ideas of my own Pokémon on my channel if you're interested to know what I have in mind for future regions.
We have not got a cheetah pokemon
Zeraora: am i a joke to you
Leaf sheep. It’s just a real world Pokémon. It makes me so upset it’s not already.
Such a cute animal! That would be a great inspiration for a pokemon 😊
Next generation should have a first partner Pokémon that is a Tardigrade also having traits of an astronaut (make sure it’s always quadruped like the real Tardigrade)
Type: water/bug (keeps typing throughout evolution)
Height: 8 inches tall weighs 1 pound unevolved, 1 foot 4 inches tall weighs 6 pounds for middle stage, 2 feet tall weighs 27 pounds as fully evolved (making it the smallest and lightest first partner Pokémon in all 3 stages)
Other starters in the same region are grass type Japanese chin dog later becoming a part steel cyborg and a fire type red panda later becoming psychic with lasers
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.
What about just calling the ability Play Dead, where the ability activates every other turn and no attack can hit it (Basically a Protect ability).
@@nickdentoom1173 Fantastic. Only issue would be using protect on turn one. Then playing dead in turn two. Then using protect on turn three. Then playing dead on turn four. Then…
Perhaps giving it like a wonder guard every other turn. Or unaffected by contact moves. Might be a tad broken otherwise.
@@blakelonestar Obviously, it would be unable to learn protect and substitute for that exact reason or just make so the ability doesn't work/activate if protect was used the previous turn.
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!
Totally agree! An Australia/Tasmania region and one based in part of South America would have so many great possibilities for new pokemon!
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.
That's a very cool idea for a cheetah pokemon's ability! I like that even though it drops in speed, it still gains something else in return.
Yeah a Ghost/Fire tasmanian tiger pokemon would be great! Destiny bond would be a nice choice
@@peripatches Yeah i wanted to balance it out a bit, since its kinda unfair a fully evolved Pokemon would only have 60ish in both its attack stats.
Believe it or not, Pragmagik already made a Pokémon based on a Binturong!
bro the Tasmanian tiger pokemon looks like a redesign of houndoom
0:23 I think the one on the right is more likely based on the prehistoric sabertooth cat, or "smilodon".🤔
Wish you included an honorable mention for scarlet macaw, fiddler crab, pink fairy armadillo, and snow owl
Isn't kingler a fiddler crab pokémon?
If there were a water bear pokémon I'm sure it would be a tank because that thing can survive almost everything
So true! I can totally see that
There is a common theory that the Ultra Beasts (The ones introduced in Sun and Moon) are based off of the 7 Deadly Sins. What if there were 7 more Ultra Beasts based on the 7 Heavenly Virtues?
*YES!* my favorite animal!
wow i love 1:09 i love your art and how are you
Thank you! I'm good, hope you're doing well yourself!
I think i Nice idea for a cheetah pokemon would be a Ground/Ghost pokemon
Prakmagic already made a bintruong mon
I could see a regional version of Clauncher and Clawitzer that are based on Mantis Shrimp as opposed to Pistol Shrimp.
That's a great idea! Would be very cool to see 😄
I agree with a pokemon based on a tardigrade and that concept for a tardigrade pokémon is adorable 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
@@peripatches your welcome 😊
Platypus Pokemon! We need a platypus!
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 fair! Those are all great choices!
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
Yesss would love to see more dinos! 🦖
Isn't Baxcalibur the closest to call a Spinosaurus?
Huh... I never looked at it that way. I always saw it as a proper Godzilla themed Pokémon.
3:48 i think a tasmean devil becoming a tasmianian tiger was done on a channel named Truegreen7 and both his and your taker on it need to be pokemon
Oh man I'm going to have to go back and try to find that video of his now, I'd love to see his take on them! Thank you 😄
@@peripatches it was creating new pokemon form fears and phobias
How about foods that should be turned into Pokemon next?
Sense they go for weirder animals i feel like a feather duster worm or bobbit worm would be cool
THE FIRST ONE LITERALY READ MY MIND IT SHOULD BE ELECTRIC
