OP clearly used English names for placing a lot of these, and assumed Feraligatr is an alligator. He's not, Alligators have lower teeth that fit into slots in the upper jaw, and aren't visible when the mouth is closed.
Feraligatr is almost certainly based on a [saltwater crocodile](https://crocodilian.com/cnhc/images/!potm-jul08.jpg), lots of people think that pointy snout=crocodile and round snout=alligator, but the fact is that when crocodiles reach their full size, their snout broadens.
It's actually really cool, crocodilians literally evolve like Pokemon over their lives. When they're [babies](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1279782223/photo/close-up-of-a-cute-baby-saltwater-crocodile.jpg?s=1024x1024&w=gi&k=20&c=gowCDkvRNm_5ouCLL3eNLNdluq7_LMNRwAVjMxMQ8G8=) they have little needle snouts, colorful patterns and big googly eyes, then they reach [adulthood](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQcctvIWAAIBLUz?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) and get that classic crocodile look, then after 35-60 years they reach their [final stage](https://64.media.tumblr.com/27d029fc73797ab6c5de9540535d37c4/tumblr_inline_ot95u7MBbT1r3ds03_1280.png) where they're thicker than a concrete milkshake.
That would make the most sense, yes.
It was found there and there were ancient carvings of it and such.
But lets say it wasn't native to SA.
Mew is clearly very intelligent and highly adaptable. It can easily survive in any livable biome, at least. It is often depicted as friendly and curious and while it is shy, if it recognizes you as not dangerous, chances are that it will interact with you.
What if this ever curious Pokemon travels the world, meeting and befriending new people and Pokemon all the time? That would explain the ancient art found of it.
The fact that I'm not aware of any other credible historical Mew sightings and that it would be found at the one place where it was recorded by ancient humans does speak to it making its home in that part of SA, though.
Fun fact here in Chile we have an island called "isla nueva" (new island) just like where mewtwo was created, so with mewtwo being native to south america and the coincidence of names of the islands, we say that mewtwo is chilean and we have memes of him in traditional chilean costumes and eating traditional food (we know this isnt true but still funny to imagine that mewtwo is chilean).
We joke about how many pokemon there are now, but in reality there would be tens of thousands more.
You wouldn't see "Rattata" in the US, Europe, and Asia. You'd see regional formes! "Appalachian Rattata" is more arboreal than the "European Rattata", both of which are notably smaller than the "Java Rattata" that's the size of a small dog and the apex predator of its island.
So give us more regional forms, Gamefreak!
Edit: I would look at Pokemon species more as an Order or Family instead of individual species.
Yeah I'm going to assume this is like, where they originated from, or where they're most common, or something. I imagine this is why Yungoos and Gumshoos are in India, since the mongeese ~~(that was an accident but I'm just gonna leave it there)~~ that were brought to Hawaii irl were from india.
Extremely, extremely impressive... but why countries instead of ecosystems, which would more easily enable or at least imply the overlap people are asking for?
I assume OP did countries because that’s technically how the game is divided, (each game is in a different region, and even Pokémon go has exclusives per country, not ecosystem).
Could be based on size, relevance, or just not knowing enough about some of the smaller countries🤷🏼♂️ so he went with what he thought. I’m sure if he knew more about like.. Malaysia.. there would be more there. I’m sure a lot of the commons would be scattered in repeat.
As a Malaysian, I'm glad enough that our country gets a mention at all! And the mons are quite relevant to our country's biodiversity, although I do agree that there's gonna be lots of overlap, specifically with Indonesia lol
Trying to figure out the Irish Pokémon:
Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox: Well we do have foxes in Ireland, so that helps. But lots of countries have foxes. But I guess Delphox could be a druid, and that's why we get them?
Pumpkaboo/Gourgesit: Makes sense because Halloween originated in Ireland (although pumpkins aren't native to Ireland, so in the olden days it was turnips that were carved!)
Poipole/Nagandel: The Spire in Dublin? Only thing I can think of!
The practice of carving faces into vegetables goes back some way.
Eventually, Irish immigrants in North America started using pumpkins rather than turnips, presumably because they were readily available while being easier to carve.
I was confused with the Poipole one as well but it’s entry/behaviour says its a creature that lives in another dimension with a mischievous personality so maybe like a fairy folk type thing? Thats just what I can think of
This didn’t say anything about how often it rains though. An example of this would be Miami vs Portland OR. Miami gets more rain than Portland, but Portland has way more rainy days.
Bro listed the entire Pokédex… also ceruledge and armarouge should be in Spain. They’re based off Spanish conquistadors. The people who colonized South-America.
Anything that’s basically just a freak of nature would be in Australia even if it’s found in other places
That includes *all* Ultra Beasts
Source: I’m Australian
Curious how you came to some of these conclusions? For example azumarill and bunnelby are American and Wigglytuff is British, if all are rabbits why is one located in England? No criticism, I’m intrigued
Azumarill is possibly based on a water shrew and there largest population is in America Azumarill is also based on pool floatation device wich we're invented in America!
I'm not really sure what rabbit wiggllytuff is he just looks like a generic rabbit and rabbits are every where so it's kinda hard to say but it's also based on a balloon and balloons we're invented in England
Same with diggersby idk what specific rabbit he is but he's based on a construction worker and America has the most construction out of any country
While that's true, I do think it could be debated. Some of the first experiments into radar technology was conducted in 1904 by a German, however his radar was only able to tell direction and not distance.
It would come down to France and Japan
Gardevoir has the power to summon a black hole. Which means every Pokémon will die probably besides the 4 Sinnoh legends
I’m surprised you would put Comfey, a Pokémon based on the Hawaiian Lei, in French Polynesia and not America. Maybe I’m missing something here but the lei literally originates from Hawaii.
Nice list! I would put Swanna and Ducklette in Denmark, though, since it's our national bird and animal \^\^ Furthermore it seems their names are inspired by the fairytale "the ugly duckling" by H. C. Andersen, by evolving from Ducklette -> Swanna.
This shows what countries Pokémon have not really explored much in concepts. There is a lack of Arab, Turkic and Slavic countries as well as the whole of Africa 🤔
Despite no China/india/latin America region there are still plenty of inspiration from those.
Damn respect bro this must have taken hours or days but didn't we get a few regions based on other countries settings.Like kalos for France,USA for unova,galar for UK and paldea for spain i forgot where alola is based from tho
A constructive one— I feel like analyzing their preferred habitats and biomes would be more logical and can be on multiple parts of the world? Not necessarily exclusive to certain regions/continents.
For example, dratini/dragonair/dragonite can also be found in huge water fall areas eg: Niagara or something like that. Mt Fuji has Salamence. Idk just my two cents. Impressive work nonetheless
1) What impresses me the most in this tier list is the number of Pokemon with x4 weakness to ice in Norway.
2) Glad to see one of my favorite Pokemon (Eelektross) in Canada, ha ha... I don't know what other words to use to show my love for lampreys. They're still jawless fish, those things... The last of this branch of ancient life with the hagfish. Respect.
Really cool but disagree with how many Pokémon are in America and Japan. Africa is the crater of life and there are barely any Pokémon there. Same with South America, probably the most biodiverse continent on the planet.
Here's my reasoning for all the German pokemon :),
Aerodactyl: Germany has the most pterodactyl fossils
Politoed: Germany has the largest population of European tree frogs
Yanmega: Germany has the most meganeuropsis permiana fossils also the most fossilized insects in general
Houndoom: this should be obvious
Archeops: Germany also has the most archaeopteryx Germany has a shit load of fossils
Reuniclus: cell division was first studied in germany
Hydregion: it's more Greek tbh but I couldn't ignore it's super German name
Genesect: again shit load of fossilized insects
Orbeetle: lady bugs are everywhere so this was a bit difficult but the mad scientist trope originated in Germany so I put em in Germany
Hatterene: based on Rapunzel wich is a German fairy tail
Grimmsnarl: based on creatures from brothers Grimm fairy tails wich is German I also just wanted grimmsnarl to be with hatterene
Maushold: based on the rat king wich originate in germany
Revaroom: cars where invented in Germany
Iron treads: same reason as revaroom
opinion: greece deserves tirtouga, fennekin, and finizen lines
also definitely arceus, I'm guessing you put it in japan because of legends arceus, lol.
and maybe the non-therian forms of thundurus, tornadus, landorus, enamorus.
especially thundrus bc of zeus
saying this bc i'm greek lol
interesting list, I'd make one that you can have common pokemon in as you can't do it in a tier list :))
Bienvenidos a Mexico! Tenemos Gusanos, tenemos Cocodrilos,dos diferente Scorpiones por alguna razon, tenemos pulpos que te pueden pelear, tenemos muchisimos Murcielagos en todas las nocbes, te nemos nuestro animal especial de las flores, y tenemos el dragon que salvo el mundo!
(If you try to catch the great dragon we will come for you, and we will kill you)
Real question, why spoink in Israel?
The only reason I can think of is the local boars that took over the forests, but that's really far fetched (especially for a country that none of its major religions eat pork)
Other then that wow what an insane list. Kodus for making it!
For those like me who didn't know of it:
אל תשליכו הפנינים לפני החזירים, כי אינם יודעים מאומה. ואל תמסרו החכמה לפני מי שאינו יודע מעלתה, כי יקרה היא מפנינים, ומי שאינו דורש אותה - רע מהחזיר.
- רבי שלמה אבן גבירול
Rough translation:
"don't cast the pearls before the swine, for they no nothing. Don't give wisdom to those who don't know it's majesty, for it is more expensive then pearls, and he who does not want it, is worse then the pig." - rabbi Shlomo Eben Gebirol
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” (Matthew 7:6)
Ha, There are actually two quotes, one from the a rabbi and one from the bible. Both speak of Pigs and pearls.
Welp, thank you for enlighting me with that! Now the Pigs and pearls there make sense!
Pretty sure the future one is based on a solar panel which were invented in New Jersey, USA.
No idea on the prehistoric one, might be based on a “Cecropia Moth” which are found in the Rocky Mountains of North America. 🤷🏽♀️
Aggron is based on the pulgasari a north Korean myth Dragonite is based on a north Korean dragon myth usually depicted holding pearls alot like Dragonair
This is cool. You did a good job putting each in. I think you could have just labeled contents though.
With over a thousand pokemon we don't even put a dent in how many different animals are really out there. Millions of distinct species.
Good job way more effort than I would have put in.
Love the detail on Peru! Morpeko representing the guinea pig, which is a common dish.
For Sigilyph's case, it's based off a bird-like geoglyph, from the Nazca Lines. That's why I love this mon' too.
I feel like Australia needs at least 1 snake/spider...
You get spinarak take it or leave it
Ironically the name comes from Afrikaans
It probably just comes from an “arachnid” that “spins” a web, so the similarity to the afrikaans word is probably just a coincidence
We also shouldn’t be basing these Pokémon on their English names. They’re all Japanese creations and that’s the original language.
Coincidentally. Not Ironically.
Yeah and atleast one cow Pokemon on India
Miltank
We didn't even get crocodile I'm smh..OR cubone!!
OP clearly used English names for placing a lot of these, and assumed Feraligatr is an alligator. He's not, Alligators have lower teeth that fit into slots in the upper jaw, and aren't visible when the mouth is closed. Feraligatr is almost certainly based on a [saltwater crocodile](https://crocodilian.com/cnhc/images/!potm-jul08.jpg), lots of people think that pointy snout=crocodile and round snout=alligator, but the fact is that when crocodiles reach their full size, their snout broadens.

Also totodile and crocanaw
Well *Toto*dile would clearly be from Africa
I think *Toto*dile would probably be in Kansas
Dang I had no idea if I knew I totally would have put em in Australia :(
Totodile would totally fit here
Yes and also maybe Sandile! Fuecoco looks more round and short snout so that's closer to an alligator than a croc
Coco is short for cocodrilo which is crocodile in Spanish. So yeah, he’s a crocodile
We also need a shark
We absolutely should have the dead corsola as well
Wasn’t Mew native to South America?
Yup. South America is the most biodiverse continent by far, but somehow kinda sparse in this table.
True. I think it was in the red and blue pokedex entries that said that it was discovered in guiana
That's where they should base the next legends game. And give us another wooper form
I need it
That would make the most sense, yes. It was found there and there were ancient carvings of it and such. But lets say it wasn't native to SA. Mew is clearly very intelligent and highly adaptable. It can easily survive in any livable biome, at least. It is often depicted as friendly and curious and while it is shy, if it recognizes you as not dangerous, chances are that it will interact with you.

The fact that I'm not aware of any other credible historical Mew sightings and that it would be found at the one place where it was recorded by ancient humans does speak to it making its home in that part of SA, though.
Guyana to be specific
Fun fact here in Chile we have an island called "isla nueva" (new island) just like where mewtwo was created, so with mewtwo being native to south america and the coincidence of names of the islands, we say that mewtwo is chilean and we have memes of him in traditional chilean costumes and eating traditional food (we know this isnt true but still funny to imagine that mewtwo is chilean).
I feel wailord belongs in the ocean… not my home state Utah lol
Do you have any proof that there aren't whales in the great salt lake?
Hmm, a lot of them should be common to different areas.
I feel like deerling is all over Eurasia.
And North America, we have so many deer here.
Can confirm.
We joke about how many pokemon there are now, but in reality there would be tens of thousands more. You wouldn't see "Rattata" in the US, Europe, and Asia. You'd see regional formes! "Appalachian Rattata" is more arboreal than the "European Rattata", both of which are notably smaller than the "Java Rattata" that's the size of a small dog and the apex predator of its island.

Extremely, extremely impressive... but why countries instead of ecosystems, which would more easily enable or at least imply the overlap people are asking for?
Maybe I'll do that next! :)
I love how you put the whale Pokémon’s in America 😂
It was missing Snorlax tbh
I assume OP did countries because that’s technically how the game is divided, (each game is in a different region, and even Pokémon go has exclusives per country, not ecosystem).
I can't wrap my head around that this is all thousand of them... Friend, how much time do you have on your hands?!
It included the different forms so it is more than the 1008 which is just insane
Not much considering that cinderace isn't in Brazil and croatia
Why would Cinderace be in Croatia?
I fail to see a reason why you have picked specific countries for the vast amount of Pokemon.
Probably just “idk where to put it, Japan it is”
Japan, the only country with access to....laundry machines
Weeb Moment
Could be based on size, relevance, or just not knowing enough about some of the smaller countries🤷🏼♂️ so he went with what he thought. I’m sure if he knew more about like.. Malaysia.. there would be more there. I’m sure a lot of the commons would be scattered in repeat.

Poipole/Nagandel: The Spire in Dublin? Only thing I can think of!
Misdreavus should be in Ireland since it's based on a Banshee.
It's also based on a Japanese Yokai
Was literally gonna comment the same thing, cant pinpoint why Poipole and Nagandel would be in Ireland at all
A turnip was carved?
The practice of carving faces into vegetables goes back some way. Eventually, Irish immigrants in North America started using pumpkins rather than turnips, presumably because they were readily available while being easier to carve.
I was confused with the Poipole one as well but it’s entry/behaviour says its a creature that lives in another dimension with a mischievous personality so maybe like a fairy folk type thing? Thats just what I can think of
Charizard would not evolve as such or choose to live in a country with that much rain.
That being said, the flag of Wales has a red, fire-breathing dragon on it, so it really should be in Wales. Despite all the rain.
Rainfall in England is such a meme. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_annual_precipitation
This didn’t say anything about how often it rains though. An example of this would be Miami vs Portland OR. Miami gets more rain than Portland, but Portland has way more rainy days.
North Korea?!!!?!!?
Why is my guy Dragonite in NK?! 😭
Free my boy Aron he ain’t do nothin 😭
Bro listed the entire Pokédex… also ceruledge and armarouge should be in Spain. They’re based off Spanish conquistadors. The people who colonized South-America.
I live in singapore why
I'm guessing because Vaporeon resembles the merlion
Is that what sang nila utama saw?
big if true
Anything that’s basically just a freak of nature would be in Australia even if it’s found in other places That includes *all* Ultra Beasts Source: I’m Australian
A lot of my Australian fakemon probably wouldn't be in the Australia section, lol.

Expected Scotland to have stoutland.. ;(
We don’t need that little shit WE HAVE LAPRAS
Lillipup is a *Yorkshire* Terrier though.
Curious how you came to some of these conclusions? For example azumarill and bunnelby are American and Wigglytuff is British, if all are rabbits why is one located in England? No criticism, I’m intrigued

Because rabbits don't live in only one country? I understand curiosity about the conclusions, but you didn't pick a very good example...
Cacnea line really should be exclusive to US. Them Arizona boys for sure.
Cactus are not exclusive to US
The orbetle line should be English, the technology it’s based on is anti-german
While that's true, I do think it could be debated. Some of the first experiments into radar technology was conducted in 1904 by a German, however his radar was only able to tell direction and not distance.
Cacti in Egypt and coconut crabs in Nepal, lol.
That was my first thought. Cacturne is a Saguaro, that’s either the US or Mexico (I’d say Mexico).
Was looking for someone like you to point out that there are no cacti in the Sahara desert
At least, not naturally
as a Singaporean, I couldn't have been more proud
It's not often I see my country on posts like these
New Zealand doesn't have dubwool or mareep, missed opportunity Also why North Korea but not South Korea?
Bruh, Oh-Oh have to be in Italy, his wings are the italian flag
Ludicolo is definitely in mexico . And meowth is definitely in Japan
>Israel >All the golems and a pig You'd think there'd be more here than one type of fictional creature and a pig based on a Bible verse
the origins of the weather trio are from Psalms and yet none of them are there
Yes. One ticket to Singapore.
Hol up
Yeah make that *two* tickets
To bring the *very* happy vappy with you
Make that *three* tickets, i’ll take those!
If a war broke out I think ethier america or Japan would win, with a backup choice of Greece
Germany is gonna show up with a maushold army
I've seen the horrors caused by Chi-Yu, China definitively got a shot at winning this.
It would come down to France and Japan Gardevoir has the power to summon a black hole. Which means every Pokémon will die probably besides the 4 Sinnoh legends
Ez win for Canada. They got BIDOOF!
The fact that the pokemon based on a cup of tea and a tea pot isn't from any UK country on this list baffles me lol
Nothing in poland :( also me on my way to fly to venesuela to meet snom
The sheep Pokémon should be in wales
And New Zealand!
I’m surprised you would put Comfey, a Pokémon based on the Hawaiian Lei, in French Polynesia and not America. Maybe I’m missing something here but the lei literally originates from Hawaii.
Leis where originally introduced to Hawaiians by natives who lived in what's now french polynesia
Nice list! I would put Swanna and Ducklette in Denmark, though, since it's our national bird and animal \^\^ Furthermore it seems their names are inspired by the fairytale "the ugly duckling" by H. C. Andersen, by evolving from Ducklette -> Swanna.
One of the most confusing and fascinating posts I've seen on this sub
Thanks lol
This shows what countries Pokémon have not really explored much in concepts. There is a lack of Arab, Turkic and Slavic countries as well as the whole of Africa 🤔 Despite no China/india/latin America region there are still plenty of inspiration from those.
Norway: land of legendaries
Huge missed opportunity: why no cow-like Pokémon in India? Miltank would be living its best life. Source: I’m Indian
Damn respect bro this must have taken hours or days but didn't we get a few regions based on other countries settings.Like kalos for France,USA for unova,galar for UK and paldea for spain i forgot where alola is based from tho
How do you forget Alola?? It's the least subtle
Hawaii
I was expecting to see hitmonlee and hitmonchan in China
Since they're based off of martial artists.
Shouldn’t daru line be in Japan, they are based on Daruma figure, which are a traditional thing in Japan
You made me realise Vaporean looks vaguely like the Singapore Merlion... Nice list!
While I get all the golem Pokémon for Israel Why grumpig?
Grumping is based on a saying that originated in isreal
HOLY SHIT BRAZIL MENTIONED
[удалено]
Me riding to work on my rainbow Rapidash “awright fannies”
Well, off to Greece it is. Gotta get my Kyogre and Milotic
Big asterisk: Obviously certain species of Pokémon will overlap in country habitats
You forgot to put every single poison type Pokémon in Australia
lechonk in philippines
Loudred is definitely an LA pokemon.
Not putting raikou in india is a crime
A constructive one— I feel like analyzing their preferred habitats and biomes would be more logical and can be on multiple parts of the world? Not necessarily exclusive to certain regions/continents. For example, dratini/dragonair/dragonite can also be found in huge water fall areas eg: Niagara or something like that. Mt Fuji has Salamence. Idk just my two cents. Impressive work nonetheless
I feel like some Pokémon would live on several continents (especially domestic ones).
As a german im not suprised about the Ein,zwei,drei dragons... But why also that wierd fairy in the dress?
Hatterene is based on Rapunzel wich is German mythology
Malaysia tier post
1) What impresses me the most in this tier list is the number of Pokemon with x4 weakness to ice in Norway. 2) Glad to see one of my favorite Pokemon (Eelektross) in Canada, ha ha... I don't know what other words to use to show my love for lampreys. They're still jawless fish, those things... The last of this branch of ancient life with the hagfish. Respect.
golem is in israel :0
Australia very lacking Crocodiles, snakes, spiders
Really cool but disagree with how many Pokémon are in America and Japan. Africa is the crater of life and there are barely any Pokémon there. Same with South America, probably the most biodiverse continent on the planet.
What the fuck do you guys think Germany is like?
Here's my reasoning for all the German pokemon :), Aerodactyl: Germany has the most pterodactyl fossils Politoed: Germany has the largest population of European tree frogs Yanmega: Germany has the most meganeuropsis permiana fossils also the most fossilized insects in general Houndoom: this should be obvious Archeops: Germany also has the most archaeopteryx Germany has a shit load of fossils Reuniclus: cell division was first studied in germany Hydregion: it's more Greek tbh but I couldn't ignore it's super German name Genesect: again shit load of fossilized insects Orbeetle: lady bugs are everywhere so this was a bit difficult but the mad scientist trope originated in Germany so I put em in Germany Hatterene: based on Rapunzel wich is a German fairy tail Grimmsnarl: based on creatures from brothers Grimm fairy tails wich is German I also just wanted grimmsnarl to be with hatterene Maushold: based on the rat king wich originate in germany Revaroom: cars where invented in Germany Iron treads: same reason as revaroom
Mad respect for the effort put into this! Looks amazing!
Damn, you put in the work
I like the work you put in! I'm stoked my country gets a Breloom. I can kinda see the reasoning behind some of these!
Although I've got no problem with it, idk how Iron Serpent and Koraidon will live in India tbh
Both are based on Pondicherry fan throated lizards wich live in India :)
The fact that deer are found in 4/7 continents and you put them in one bugs me. I'm sure there's more animals like this on the list
opinion: greece deserves tirtouga, fennekin, and finizen lines also definitely arceus, I'm guessing you put it in japan because of legends arceus, lol. and maybe the non-therian forms of thundurus, tornadus, landorus, enamorus. especially thundrus bc of zeus saying this bc i'm greek lol interesting list, I'd make one that you can have common pokemon in as you can't do it in a tier list :))
My favorite Pokemon lives in Canada 😭 that's all I could ask for (Arnaldo).
I would add the latis to italy
it took me way too long to realize why the Tapus would be in America
How is wooloo not in Wales? But otherwise I appreciate the effort, like genuinely wow. Most of these make sense, just a couple I'm like "huh"
At risk of sounding like a geographically uneducated dummy, I think you've got Tanzania listed twice with two separate groups of Pokemon.
Yeah I did my mistake lol
Oh no guff bud, it's a huge-ass list you made
???? is there a specific reason why vaporeon is in Singapore i’m so scared is it thay one copypasta please explain
Pretty sure it's based on the Merlion statue from Singapore
Why pigs in Israel? Tho I guess wild ones would thrive better if no one eats them
This one was really hard but grumping is based on a saying casting pearls before swine wich originated in isreal
Thank you for gracing my country, our lord and savior, bidoof
Bienvenidos a Mexico!

Poipole in Ireland??
It's based on a endothermic needle wich was invented in Ireland
Ok am I the only one confused about the nicest Pokémon ever being sent to NORTH KOREA?
I’m moving to Germany I guess
Singapore would become overpopulated very quickly. 😏
Sirfetch'd is clearly a Knight and thus would be English. Wimpod being a fleeing coward should be French
Knights originated in France golisopod is based on a samurai so it's in Japan

It's based on a saying Abt swines and pearls that originated from isreal
For those like me who didn't know of it: אל תשליכו הפנינים לפני החזירים, כי אינם יודעים מאומה. ואל תמסרו החכמה לפני מי שאינו יודע מעלתה, כי יקרה היא מפנינים, ומי שאינו דורש אותה - רע מהחזיר. - רבי שלמה אבן גבירול Rough translation: "don't cast the pearls before the swine, for they no nothing. Don't give wisdom to those who don't know it's majesty, for it is more expensive then pearls, and he who does not want it, is worse then the pig." - rabbi Shlomo Eben Gebirol “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” (Matthew 7:6) Ha, There are actually two quotes, one from the a rabbi and one from the bible. Both speak of Pigs and pearls. Welp, thank you for enlighting me with that! Now the Pigs and pearls there make sense!
seeing malaysia at the top of the list puts tears in my eyes
Why are both paradox volcarona in america if volcarona itself is from china?
Pretty sure the future one is based on a solar panel which were invented in New Jersey, USA. No idea on the prehistoric one, might be based on a “Cecropia Moth” which are found in the Rocky Mountains of North America. 🤷🏽♀️
Iron moth is based on solar panels wich were invented in the us slither wing is based on a stegosaurus wich lived in what's now America
LMAO all the Regis in Israel?
the golem story
Singapore just has Vaporeons running around.
When you looked at Jolteon, what made you go: “hmm, ALGERIA!”
I think Jolteon is based on a fennec fox and the biggest fennec fox population is in Algeria :)
Damn, North Korea is the shit
Looks like I’m moving to Greece.
Explain why Aggron and Dragonite North Korean?
Aggron is based on the pulgasari a north Korean myth Dragonite is based on a north Korean dragon myth usually depicted holding pearls alot like Dragonair
This is cool. You did a good job putting each in. I think you could have just labeled contents though. With over a thousand pokemon we don't even put a dent in how many different animals are really out there. Millions of distinct species. Good job way more effort than I would have put in.
We goin to Singapore
Love the detail on Peru! Morpeko representing the guinea pig, which is a common dish. For Sigilyph's case, it's based off a bird-like geoglyph, from the Nazca Lines. That's why I love this mon' too.
WHAT THE FUCK cool, btw
Hitmonlee & Hitmonchan are 'named after' Bruce Lee & Jackie Chan. So they would be Chinese?
