putting pokemon into modern day animal categories

gen 2


same rules apply here if you want to know what the rules are go to my post about the gen 1 pokemon it was literally my last post so it won't be hard to find, with hat being said lets get started

chikorita line, reptiles

so when it comes to pokemon like this I've decided to make a rule, if the pokemon is just an animal with something attached it will be counted as that animal, for example meganium is a dinosaur with a flower on it so I'm counting it as a reptile and not a plant

cyndoqill line, mammals

totodile line, reptiles

sentret line, mammals

hoothoot line, birds

ledyba line, invertebrates

spinarak line, invertebrates

crobat, mammal

chinchou line, fish

pichu, mammal

cleffa, mammal

igglybuff, mammal

togepi line, ???

what are these supposed to be? togepi is an egg thing and I don't know what togetic is supposed to be, is it an angel? is it like a fairy of some kind, I have no idea

natu line, birds

mareep line, mammals

bellossom, humanoid

marill line, mammals

sudowoodo, inanimate

keep in mind sudowoodo is merely pretending to be a tree and not an actual tree

polittoed, amphibian

hoppip line, plants

aipom, mammal

sunkern line, plants

yanma, invertebrate

wooper line, amphibians

keep in mind wooper is supposed to be an axolotol and quagsire is a giant salamander

espeon/umbreon, mamals

murkrow, bird

slowking, mammal

misdreavus, ???

the thing with misdreavus is that according to the pokedex its the decapitated head of a woman, so should I put it in humanoid? I don't quite feel comfortable with doing so since its just a head and all the other humanoid pokemon are full bodies

unown, ???

wobboffet, ???

so this is a confusing one as this poekmon has two conflicting origins, its based on both a news reporter and a punching bag so should I put it in the humanoid, inanimate or, ??? category

girafarig, mammal

pineco line, invertebrate

keep in mind these are bagworms and not a pincone and...whatever the hell foretress is trying to be

dunsparce, invertebrate

now I know that the creature this is based off of is a snake but this clearly isn't a snake, its more of a worm than anything

gligar, mammal

okay so simialrly to wobboffet this is based on two different things, a bat and a scorpion. so is it a mammal or a invertebrate? based on what I'm looking at I'm gonna say mammal because it does appear to have a skeletal structure

steelix, reptile

subbull line, mammals

quilfish, fish

scizor, invertebrate

shuckle, plant

I know this might seem wired but apparently shuckle is based on a type of moss or mold, so I'm gonna mark it as a plant (really tho what even is this thing)

heracross, invertebrate

sneasel, mammal

teddiursa line, mammals

slugma line, invertebrates

swinub line , mammals

corsola, invertebrate

now this one I had to think about because it's a rock type so I had to ask myself, "is this a rock or a coral" this is because corals are animals and so making this distinction really mattered. however according to the pokedex toxapex likes to eat them (like how real crown of thorns starfish eat real coral) and the galraian form is bleached white (like real dead coral) so I think its fair to say that this is a coral and not a rock

remoraid, fish

octillery, invertebrate

delibird, bird

mantine, fish

skarmory, bird

houndour line, mammals

kingdra, fish

phanpy line, mammals

porygon 2, ???

same thing as regular porygon, do I count it as inanamate if its AI?

stantler, mammal

smeargle, mammal

tyrouge line, humanoid

smoochum, humanoid

elekid, ???

so like...what is this? it evolves into electabuzz with is very much a mammal but this thing doesn't strike me as one....what should I put this as

magby, reptile

this is like the opposite of elekid because I don't know what elekid is supposed to be but I understand what it evolves into but with magby it looks like some kind of lizard so I'm putting it as a reptile but I have no idea what magmar is supposed to be

miltank, mammal

blissey, ???

raikou, entei, and suicune, mammals

larvitar and tyranitar, reptiles

so this is wired, larvetar and tyranitar are clearly meant to be lizards or dinosaurs or whatever. but pupatar is a cocoon!?!? so I have to categorize it differently

pupatar, invertebrate

why is it a cocoon!?!?!?

lugia, reptile

so this is another wired one because its the ruler of the legendary birds but it has very reptilian traits, what tipped the scales for me was the way it swam, it uses its tail and legs for swimming (like crocodiles and lizards) instead of its wings, which is how birds swim

ho-oh, bird

celibi, humanoid

this was a wired one because its another "is it a plant or animal" type deal, I went with animal as it doesn't really act like a plant, it doesn't get energy from sunlight it it moves around quite a bit, plus its supposed to be some kind of fairy or pixie so I think this makes sense

and that's two generations down, tune in tomorrow for the hoenn mons

I missed this weapon in the original scout post so here is its own video. The deadly twins

I have ascended

So I'm a big fan of pokemonXD in fact I'm going to beat the game 17 times each with a different monotype team. I've played this game so much that I can tell you what the best and worst choices are, and so I made a tier list ranking them from worst to best

Here's more incredible art that Jolters made for #GameJoltColors25!

Process of one of my Pikachu drawings. This is a perfect example of when I start losing myself in art land, but suddenly snap back to basics when I realize "Oh right, I have no time!" You'll see what I mean.

Lucky for me no one comments on my posts anyway so I'm pretty much immune to posts like these
