Luvdisc puckers up like the Kissing Gourami.

Poliwag has the same spiral belly as translucent tadpoles.

Mudkip is based on the amphibious Axolotl.

Plants and flowers also appear in the game, like the Flycatcher Pokémon Victreebel, which is modeled on the pitcher plant.

And the aptly named Vileplume, which exists in real-life as the “corpse flower,” named for its strong and horrible odor of decaying flesh.

And last but not least, here’s a rare sighting of the Trash Bag Pokémon, Trubbish.
