Venusaur is a prehistoric frog kaiju (it was created before the discovery of the Belzebufo) more in keeping with an animal from the flintstones or Kaijus movies of the showa era, the Saur is an American invention.

Meganium is based on a brachiosaurus, look at the proportions of the limbs.

Inteleon is based on a combination of Basilisk, Flying Dragon, Chameleon and Long Tailed Lizard (Gigamax).

But there are a lot of water types based on fully aquatic animals, a few based on non-aquatic animals, and a few that aren't based on animals at all.
Semi-aquatic water starters is the only actual pattern left

Dragons and serpents are the same thing its just various ancient translations that have got us to where we are today.
Crocodiles can be seen as dragons in some historical depictions, but never serpents.

Grass
>It is true, but only after Gen1. Of course Venusaur inspired them to follow that theme. The theme here links the Nature type with pre-history where nature was all that existed.

Fire
>You could ignore again Gen1 only because of the above statement, we could say that Gen1 was the season 0 of Pokémon which had many aspects of lore and mechanics "fixed" in Gen2. Obviously the zodiac is an inspiration and I can tell why: most folklore creatures either transform or spit fire, it's generic, so they used the zodiac as a guide to which generic animals can be considered a bit more magical, and hence control fire. You could say the Dragon is the paldean one.

Water
>uhh... no. a weapon can be considered a secondary trait, but without a doubt the logic here is aquatic mons that can follow you around on land, as your closest companion should.

>Extinct animal
Venusaur is confirmed to be based on frogs and toads, to complete the set of “wild animals kids want to keep” with the lizard the the turtle. It’s just Kaiju-fied like the two others.
>Meganium
I mean nobody can debate it’s a dinosaur
>Sceptile
Obvious dinosaur influences but that could also just to spice up the fact it’s a reptile
>Torterra
Same as Sceptile
>Serperior
You do know every animal has a prehistoric ancestor or an extinct animal with a similar niche, right? Just because it’s a bigger than its real life counterpart doesn’t mean it’s a bigger extinct animal you tard.
>Chesnaught
Same as Serperior
>Decidueye
Same as Serperior and the Stilt Owl’s extinction is down right contemporary compared to everything else on this list
>Rillaboom
It’s… just a gorilla dude. Why would it be an extinct orangutan?
>Meowscarada
Is based on the very extant Iberian Lynx

How did they base Venusaur on an animal that wasn't discovered until 10 years after the game came out?

People are gonna be arguing until 2025 if fuecoco represents the snake or not. The zodiac motif won't be ruled out until then. If they do something like a goat, then it does and the pattern continues. If it's something completely different, it's as good as dead.

Coco killed the theory, and it was already hanging in a thread due to Cyndaquil and Fennikin. It’s just that Zodiacfags are just hardheaded retards.
