Let's post pictures of the real life animals/plants/things that our favorite pokemon are based on. Keep the pokemon's name to yourself, though.

Gardevoirzzzzzzziiiing!
>>29189583
This image triggers me so much
Not need explanations
>>29189625
What's with the fire?
>>29189535
>>29189583
How do you get Gardevoir from that?
>>29189688
pancakes i.e.flat-chested
>>29189721
pancake titties are a thing though, and they aren't flat chests.
>>29189757
what about pear bodies?
>>29189535
Dragalge.
>>29189561
Slugma?
>>29189609
Hi jump kick?
>>29189625
Heliolisk.
>>29189647
Scraggy.
>>29189680
Ekans!
>>29189681
Dragonite?
>>29189732
Worst starter.
Who's that pokemon?
>>29189834
Pancake anon here.
You are incorrect
>>29189834
>Dragonite
nah
>>29189561
Alolan Raichu
>>29189901
Correct!
You know Game Freak fucked up a pokemon design when the real life animal it's based on is 10 times cooler, cuter and more interestng.
Look at that hairy face! It should have been a Hare evolution! That line felt incomplete with only two members.
>>29189834
>he doesn't know pancake meme of a pokemon
Most people don't know it, but the first member of this line is based on the nigger sheep. Why else would its face be dark blue?
Literally nobody will guess this one. It's one of my favorite pokemon ever.
>>29190249
A Jigglypuff seen from above?
>>29189535
this picture is real and i hope it get's a mega/cross gen evolution that looks more like it's real world counterpart.
>>29190016
Riolu?
>>29190297
Correct, but it's simply a gen 1 Jigglypuff.
Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff's designs were based on a mix of western and Japanese images people see on the surface of the moon.
Wigglytuff is a rabbit because of that famous legend about a rabbit living on the moon and making mochi:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit
And their eyes have different sizes in the original sprites because they are supposed to look like the Northern Hemisphere interpretation of the man in the moon:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_in_the_Moon
It's was a really clever idea that they dropped later for some reason. They look less creepy now, but miss their weird eyes and the story behind them.
>>29190474
does my grandfather count
>>29190484
>>29190474
Holy shit that was INTENTIONAL?
I thought it was bad spriting a la Koffing's skull and blastoise's giant fatass belly. Or Hitmonchan's everything.
Or god forbid Japanese Dragonite and Mew
>>29190474
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_in_the_Moon
>that third face
Who the fuck sees THAT in the moon?
>>29189625
Charmander/charmelion/charzard
aka the fire lizard.
ez
i want my prize now
>>29189535
There's a seaweed Pokemon?
>>29189625
literally in the webm name.
>>29189665
do you know what a brush fire is?
>>29190474
This is really cool. Why does nobody know about this? People always make fun of those ugly sprites, but at least these had a nice reason for looking like that.
>>29189932
kangaskhan and babby
>>29189988
duskox

Sweekoon

Her preevo was better looking. Just like Steenee, Bayleef, Kirlia, Braixen...
>>29190603
>FIRE moth
>dustox
>>29190593
suicune
>>29190583
gothitelle. is it bad that I still think that goth look is attractive? I guess just because it's somehting different than what I'm used to
>>29190555
booboo keys
>>29190361
quagsire. also that picture was edited to make the thumbnail for a video look more impressive

>>29190016
mareep
>>29190676
>Sweecoon
Yup. You got it.
>>29190664
relicanth
lvl 3
>>29190528
it's hard for me to see any of them in the moon, but that third face looks like a meme face
>>29190664
>>29190739
>angler fish
>relicanth
it's lanturn you dum butt
>>29190361
Quagsire?
By the way, evolving your axolotl into a salamander is possible IRL with an injection of iodine. However, you should never do it because it greatly shortens his lifespan.
It's pretty stupid that Wooper (an axolotl) evolves into Quagsire by level up. He should need an elemental stone or something. Why base it on an axolotl if you are going to ignore the one thing that makes that animal stand out?
Mudkip is another axolotl that evolves by level up, but at least that one is more like Poliwag. He gets bigger in it's baby form without suffering a metamorphosis.
>>29190686
i dont read pic names
lvl 4
>>29190603
Arcanine.
>>29190809
Gigalith.
>>29190782
i was thinking of that after i posted but it really looks nothing like an angler fish.
>>29190681
Gothorita needs to be slightly more loli.
Let's ignore Gothita, though. That's just a gothic Smoochum and it looks like crap.
>>29190830
not gigalith
5
>>29190809
Carbink???
>>29190676
Diggersby.
>>29190861
Rotom-Wash
>>29190805
There's a lot of stupid shit in gen 2. Bellossom should evolve from Oddish and Politoed should evolve from Poliwag. The way it works now makes no fucking sense.
The female version of its preevo is my lolifu.
>>29190869
nah
>>29190871
nope
>>29190882
yey

>>29190676
>Psychic
>>29190980
ok so i havent been around for the new fairy shit and i never claimed to be the best at this. maybe i shud stop. im making excuses for being a retard now.
last one has 2 answers
>>29190943
That fat pringles looking jellifish with a mustache. I can never remember his name.
>>29190249
Lunatone
>>29191035
>new
So you havent played in at least 4 years.
Even Pokemon GO has fairies, anon.
Anyway, Scyther/Scizor if thats two answers. If its just one, then scyther and... Sceptile? Lurantis?
>>29190603
>>29191070
It looks nothing like lunatone.
>>29190522
Japanese dragonite was cool.
>>29191135
what other pokemon is a face and a moon?
>>29191081
Scyther / Leavanny
>>29191248
These are literally based on that exact same face on the moon and the Japanese legend about moon rabbits.
>>29190474
>>29190484
>>29191248
Lunatone is a moon with a face, but it's not based on a face on the moon. That's Wigglytuff.
Lunatone is based on... uh... Does anyone know?
>>29190782
Flamenco Oricorio.
>>29191181
Crustle
>>29190805
Axolotls are neotenous salamanders and stay in a larval form their whole lives, despite being able to breed. All salamander larvae look like that. Pic related, it's a giant salamander larva.
>>29189680
Onix
>>29191458
>Winged Victory of Samothrace
...Victini? Bruh, did you just get all Hellenistic on me?
