4. Zigzagoon
They are definitely inspired by the raccoon. That cute burglar mask on the face is just like the real thing. The only difference is the zigzag pattern of its fur and its bigger looking paws compared to a normal raccoon. So maybe its based on the Tanuki? Which is a Japanese raccoon dog.
3. Shellos
It is based off another sea slug which is the Chromodoris Lochi. The Chomodoris Lochi, is a species of sea slug that is either blue or blueish white. Each individual slug can reach to at least 4 cm in length. Their main food are sponges. No not synthetic sponges.
2. Manaphy and Phione
They’re both blue, both flamboyant and both are mostly water. They are based of the sea angels. The sea angels are a type of swimming sea slug. They developed wing-like flapping appendages and does not have a shell. The wings allow them to swim much faster than their prey which are the sea butterflies.
1. Emolga
This cute little flying rat like thingy is too cute to be based on a bat. Instead it is based on the flying squirrel. In real life, the squirrel couldn’t really fly. But what it does is glide through the sky like flying with a hang glider. So the squirrel would stretch the parachute like membranes on its sides which stretches from its wrist to its ankle and would use its fluffy tail to stabilize the short glide.
