Not Spanish but I would love A Vampire Watermelon Pokémon from Baltic/Romi Folklore.

And generally more buy-types based on invertebrates not in Pokémon yet. I want an Ice-Type Dung Beetle with a head like a snowplow that helps clear roads and path (not a joke). Also uses balls of snow as weapons (:

I want a Sea pig (perfect animal), Comb Jelly, Grasshopper, tape worm, wolf spider or Daddy Long-Legs and Termites as well (:

I want a new Shark that isn't your typical Tiger/Bull/Great White look but Basking Shark, Carpet Shark etc.

And I want a Iberian Lynx and Genet.

What about some Pokemon inspired by famous Spanish art?

A Goya devil-goat

While not a Pokemon I bet the English translation will feature a Monty Python "Spanish Inquisition" reference in the text of some random trainer or something

I could see this being used as the inspiration of one of the Fossil Mons since it was found in Portugal:

Sintra would be cool with the highlight being Palace of Pena at the top of the area. Something more obscure could be the Anchor Graveyard for a small area dedicated to Ghost Pokémon.

In regards to Pokémon a Cod fish Pokémon seems the easy and boring association to Portugal. Rooster of Barcelos could be fun, Flying/Ghost perhaps?

For me it's easier to name something I do NOT want to see featured: Bull Pokémon, or at the very least, anything bullfighting related.

I am not an animal fan neither a Poke fan, but bullfighting is something that really annoys me.

I think that a bull removed from bull-fighting is ok. But yeah, it better be a black bull a-la Osborne and there shouldn't be any matador or similar things.

I wish this was more inspired by al Andalus specifically. It covers the Iberian peninsula, but it will be something non-Western finally. Making it focused on science, and perhaps even making it take place in the past. It would be far more interesting than being inspired by a western culture.

Would also be very awesome to get Pokémon or elements in the game of astronomy, surgery, medicine etc.

I agree. The practice is evil and cruel. Don't know how Spain feels about it but here in Portugal it only exists due to tradition, most people want it abolished being held back by old people.
I hope Pokémon did their research, the link to animal cruelty is far too obvious.

Vampire Watermelon? Tell me more!

The belief as I understand it is that if a Watermelon left to age too long outside (usually after Christmas), they eventually become Vampires and rise to feast on people and animals but aren't really that affective at it. They also tend to fight Vampire Pumpkins as well. They were popularized here by Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum and seem to be based around how real Waterelons and Pumpkin can appear "bloody" as they age:

Being honest - I REALLY hope we get regional variants in this game and they aren't just animal based but also object based - see Regional Aegislash

Needs a galo de barcelos if Portugal is in. It's basically a Pokémon already.
Also, a sardine Pokémon.

I want that devil goat as a dark/ghost. Lean into when people though Pokemon was demonic. Or they could troll and make it fairy type, since that seems to be Pokemon's version of light/holy.

If we get the flaming giraffe as a Girafarig regional I'll explode with happiness.

We had a weird dragon apple pie pokemon so it's time for pastel de nata Pokemon. Fuck yeah portubros.

As for Spain as I said in the other thread I just don't want any corridas bullshit. So tired of that stereotype.

It would be nice to see places we don't usually see in media regarding the peninsula like:

- The forests of Basque country (love them)
- The Pyrenees
- Asturias or Cantabria (lots of green there)
- The Doñana wetlands
- Madeira or Canarias
- Galician cliffs and beaches (so fucking wild and cold lol)

The geography is so diverse you can literally represent any climate or biome you want.
