Nearly every Pokémon in the Pokémon franchise is based on something in our real world, whether an animal, inanimate object, or food. Many fans may gravitate toward a Pokémon companion that represents something they love in the real world. With over 900 Pokémon (and counting) to choose from, it’s easier than ever to find one you’ll love.
If your favorite animal is a bear, there are quite a few Pokémon to choose from that might remind you of them, some in a cuddly way and others in a scary, ferocious way. And though not all of these Pokémon are the most useful on a top-tier competitive team or even to help you fight your way through the Elite Four, there’s still something to be said for each of them.
