Pokemon are real - Vizth Hal - 10-09-2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJnn-wMPU9w&feature=related where's my pokeball? RE: Pokemon are real - Aurora Moon - 10-09-2011 a lot of pokemon are based on real life animals. like the mudkip which was based on Axolotl, an actual species: Paras was inspired by this creature Sandshrew was obviously inspired by the armadillo. A dik dik: I remember seeing this fish pokemon in an ep once... oh wait, it exists too. http://www.maniacworld.com/Strange-Bird-of-Paradise.html RE: Pokemon are real - Gunnen4u - 10-10-2011 Dik Dik and Okapi are animals long since hunted on game safari's and a popular thing to eat over there, though thankfully, the pressure has been lessened quite a bit on either species last I checked. RE: Pokemon are real - Twitchin Kitten - 10-10-2011 What did they do to that poor gerbil? It was frantically trying to clean some sticky crap off it's belly. It's obviously poorly kept too. Was that even a gerbil? RE: Pokemon are real - LKTraz - 10-10-2011 That's not a gerbil. It's a jerboa. Two different species. http://www.gerbil.info/html/jerboa.htm I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find more actual animals that pokemon are adapted from. The Philadelphia zoo used to have a good number of Kirk's dik dik's. I first saw one there when I was just a kid. Cute little buggers. Armadillos........Texans think of them as biological speed bumps.
