8 Pokemon You Can Actually Catch in REAL LIFE

oh sorry I got to catch this rat first

rats are literally all that's around my

house right now and I thought I would

see less of them when I left New York

there we go okay let's talk about

Pokemon the app that is literally taking

over the world at this very moment it's

like Dorian sticky tofu wor veggie mes

you either love it or you hate it so why

is Pokémon go so popular anyways is it

really because people want to experience

the sense of adventure and possibility

or do people play just to fit in with

the current trends well whether you're a

veteran trainer or a newbie you may not

know your Pokémon as well as you think

so to increase your ever expanding

knowledge of Pokemon here are eight real

life Inspirations behind Pokemon

characters the first Pokemon we're going

to talk about is drowsy drowsy is a

mischievous looking psychic Pokemon that

draws inspiration from Baku Baku has two

meanings in Japanese one being a

Malaysian taper which is a vegetarian

Pig SL elephant looking thing and the

other being a mythical Japanese creature

that devours Dreams and Nightmares

despite its appearance drowsy is

actually pretty kind it helped Pokemon

members fall asleep numerous times when

they were having trouble so kind of like

a living sleeping aid Baku like jousy

was also known to be summoned by

children for good dreams and protection

against Nightmares so something really

good to have when Freddy's after you the

second Pokemon is our star of the show

Pikachu Pikachu is is an electric type

Mouse Pokemon and is probably one of the

most iconic Pokemons of all time Pikachu

is the Pokemon mascot and is probably

what pops into your heads when you think

of the game so where did the inspiration

for this red Chek Mouse come from it

actually came from a little mouse-like

creature called a pika that are mainly

native to the remote mountain ranges of

Asia with 23 species of them living

entirely or partly in China especially

the Tibetan Plateau the Pika is a mouse

like mammo that makes high pitched

sounds just like Pikachu and they are

both equally adorable and some species

of the Pika is just about as rare for

example there are only about a thousand

of these adorable teddy bear looking

pasas left in the ensan mountain range

in the shinjang region of Northwestern

China due to shrinking habitat the third

Pokemon on this list is Magikarp a water

type fish Pokemon that you literally

have to catch hundreds to transform it

into something more useful than his

current state which has about as much

fighting Power as a piece of su magicarp

gets his inspiration from the yellow

rockfish in fact they both look

identical to each other the only

difference is the yellow rockfish can

actually do damage next we have imoga

one of the most adorable looking

Pokémons out there imoga is a flying SL

electric type Pokemon that doesn't

actually evolve it gets its inspiration

from the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel

both creatures can glide due the

membranes between their legs but the

Monga is of course more battle ready

because it can store electricity in his

membranes imoga is known to make puppy

eyes to soften the hearts of opponents

and the Japanese flying squirrel kind of

has that same ability except cuteness

only really works on people I mean come

on just look at it that thing can kill

with his cuteness the next Pokemon we're

going to talk about is Poliwag a water

type tat Poole Pokemon it gets its

inspiration from translucent tat Pooles

which looks almost identical to Poliwag

you know the swirly circle on the

Poliwag belly that you thought was kind

of cute yeah well that's not cute at all

it's actually kind of gross because

that's based on the translucent tatul

guts yeah guts since translucent tatul

our see-through we can see the movements

of their swirly guts take a look you'll

never see Poliwag the same way again

number six on our list is another weak

Pokemon that shows up a lot and is one

of Ash's first Caterpie and of course

just by taking one look at it it's clear

that caterp are based on caterpillars

but the specific design of the Caterpie

is is based on the Eastern tiger swallow

caterpillar I mean it literally looks

like someone took that caterpillar and

plugged it directly into the game next

we have vop Plum vop plume has Beady red

eyes and its distinct feature is a

massive flower growing out of its head

the flower is set to be so heavy that

the Pokemon itself has trouble

supporting it which sort of makes sense

because this Pokemon is based on the

rafala arodi the largest flower in the

world this flower is as rare as this

Pokémon and is found in the rainforest

of Indonesia glad we don't have to

travel all the way there to catch this

guy the flower can grow to be 3 ft

across and weight up to 15 lbs just like

the Pokemon rafala special ability

happens when it blooms it emits an odor

that resembles rotting meat this odor

attracts insects that pollinates the

plant next we move on to what I consider

a pretty terrifying Pokemon both in the

game and its real life inspiration the

victory bell is based on piture plants

and these things are carnivorous and

well yeat basically any anything Mouse

Birds humans okay maybe not humans but I

think only because they're not big

enough finally we have love dis a water

type heartshaped Pokemon if you rotate a

heart 90° draw some eyes and a big mouth

you will have yourself a love dis love

dis is based on a fish called kissing

gorami now if you're wondering if the

fish actually kisses the answer is yes

but in their case kissing equals

fighting which that was the case with

people here right you get mad at someone

you want to hit them and then you just

you know give him a kiss okay I got to

admit I play this game a lot I wish I

had more time to play this game and I'm

doing pathetically actually so the most

powerful guy I have here is a blast

Blaster Turtle thing blast toys at like

1,100 that's all I got and then I got

like a Flareon and a Sparky but they're

both below 1,000 CP the next strongest

guy I have is a tanila this is so sad so

I see all these people I drive by um

like gyms in a war walk by gyms and

there's always like a Dragonite there

where you guys finding these things I

mean all I catch are rats and gold bats

and other kind of bats and bunch of

Clans and snakes it's all I got so if

you guys live around the Bay Area let me

know what are some good Pokémon places I

can go to kind of catch some of the rare

ones also did you know that there are

some Pokemon in the game that are truly

terrifying and they are based on truly

terrifying creatures
