Japan1: Imaginary prehistoric frog, European Dragon, Kaiju Turtle
Japan2: African giraffatitan, African honey badger, American alligator
Japan3: North American Dilophosaurus, Japanese Shamo, North American Mudpuppy/Axolotl
Japan4: Australian meiolania, Indian langur, Antarctic emperor penguin
America: Southamerican Oxybelis, English Hampshire pig, South American giant otter/S.Sealion
France: South American Glyptodon, African Fennec, Cruziohyla colombiana
Hawaii: California sea lion, Indian tiger, Hawaiian Grallistrix
United Kingdom: African Gorilla, Sichuan White Rabbit, South American Basilisk/Malayan Draco
Spain: Lynx pardinus (prehistoric form of the Iberian lynx), Nile crocodile, African Coot/South American Crested Duck
The starters are a mess of ideas, here I am only taking into consideration their biological/mythological base and not their conceptual elements such as Samurott being a Japanese samurai despite being based on non-Japanese species or the case of Venasaur that coincidentally resembles certain extinct animals its creators confirm that it is a frog, or the fact that some lines are a combination of different species.
But the point is that GF rarely uses species native to the region the games are based on. At least for the starters, lately they are incorporating a little more endemic species to the regional dex.
