The tragedy of Parasect is that being a zombie isn't the worst interpretation you can get from the mushroom

Speaking of fungi... I think a jackalope could make a pretty neat pokémon, now wouldn't it? And it could even be given a reference to the actual fungal infection which makes actual rabbits and hares look like them and make it grass/normal in a sawsbuck meets parasect kind of way. Or maybe even tie it straight to parasect and make it a harelike pokémon which evolves when in a party with parasect a la mantyke and catch the fungus from it.

I think that there should be a blue ringed octopus. Octillery could be perfect to get an Alolan form and become part Poison. The octopus needs to look vivid in color yet look deceivingly harmless.

I feel they should have a fully-fledged platypus Pokemon by now. Yeah I know about Psyduck, but its platypiness is ambiguous and its more a duck. Given only males have poisonous spurs you could do something where different genders have different type combinations

Making at least one of them electric type would be a pretty neat concept considering platypus's electrosensoring capabilities.

I'd just love to see a more proper Crocodilian Pokémon. Krookodile and the pre-volutions and the Totodile line are all fine and dandy, but a big heavy quadrupedal Pokémon with the features is something I'd really like to see. Instead of the whole bi-ped thing.
Maybe make it Water/Rock... Weird match-up, but eh.

Maybe a fossil? That would be cool!

Does Buzzwole count as a centaur? Because I want a centaur pokemon but the weird anatomy of that Pokémon doesn't cut it for me.

Buzzwole is more of a fly/mosquito hybrid. I'd love to see a sea urchin and a sea snake. They would have been perfect for Sun and Moon.

what ever........
I thought that Marinae and Toxapex were sea urchins.( please escuse me if I have spelled their names wrong)

I think they're supposed to be based after crown-of-thorns starfish. Kind of similar but not by much.
A proper urchin would be cool, but the design would have to be really memorable because a regular urchin is kind of boring.

Wouldn't Gyarados kind of count as a sea snake? I mean, it's primarily based off of a sea serpent/Chinese dragon, but it has a few snake-like features. So does Milotic, to a lesser extent.

We do have starfish and a sea cucumber, so that echinoderm isn't out of left field. Though it may feel too similar to the Mareanie line
It'd be interesting if we had a Portugese Man of War. You could make it a dirty fighter that's Poison/Fighting, playing on the man o war pun

Tentacruel is based on a man o war. I'd love to see a colorful clown fish that is paired with a sea anemone and the fish has to evolved with anemone in the party and vice versa. And make the clown fish a brightly colored tropical fish and not some weird humanoid fish clip us clown hybrid. We all know GF could go that route.

Gives 'em the slip..
If we get a Mega Evolution for Scolipede, I hope they make its mandibles large enough to look like arms. It's already pretty torso + horse-ish. We do have Drapion already with pincer arms on its mandibles, though.
Really, they need to make an ability called Centaurian that grants its users a 50% bump to their Fighting-type moves. Or Steel-type moves, or both! That's probably overkill.

Really? I thought it was a jellyfish

Yeah, I'm not so sure how tentacruel can constitute as a man of war rather than a jellyfish apart from the perception that a Portuguese man o' war is just a scaled-up jellyfish (a man o' war is a different kind of animal).
I mean, I guess it was named after one in the beta game, but if that's justification for it being an actual Portuguese man of war pokémon, then gyarados can be considered a kraken pokémon, considering its beta name.

I just realize we don't have a swordfish pokémon. Closest would be Tapu Fini but still...

As mentioned, a velvet worm would be an interesting Pokemon.

Am I the only one baffled by the lack of a cheetah Pokemon?
