Medicham seems to take influence from Hindu deities
Arceus is based on the creationist theory.
Frosslass is based on a snow spirit that ether saves you from blizzards or leaves you stranded in one.

The fighting/fire starters are based on journey to the west.
Arceus sounds more like an hindu deity being more like an avatar and with his 1000 arms and shit.
