5 Pokémon that are basically just Animals

Pokémon is big, one of the biggest franchises out there. And it’s line up cute and cuddly pocket monsters now stretches over 700! Now we already too a look at some of the worst Pokémon designs, but not let’s take a look at some of the laziest.

And by that I mean the designers took a look at a real animal and just went yeah that’ll do, not straining an ounce of imagination.

So here are 5 Pokémon’s that are basically just animals.

How do we scientifically look at this you may ask? That’s simple; if you ran into any of these animals in the real world would you think: Hey is this a magical creature full of wonder and mystic or would you just go, oh look a slightly discolored goat.

Ekans

Being the filthy gen-one-er that I am let’s start there. Ekans is just a snake, a purple snake yes but ultimately just a snake. Even its name is just ‘snake’ backwards. It’s evolution Arbok could also fit here, but has a slight advantage cause the changed the ‘c’ to a ‘k’ when they reversed ‘Cobra’
