>>29316444>I knew that Meowth was that cat thing from the Chinese place, I knew Gyarados was a wind kite based on that fable, I knew Mr. Mime was a mime.Not a single one of the pokemon you just mentioned look like exact replicas of what they are based on. In all of them they looked like cartoon or fantasy esque 'spins' on what they are based on, so that the original inspiration was obvious, but not fucking obsequious.
