Pokemon and mythical creatures

[LadyBGf]

I don't know if this is the right place, if it isn't, can someone put it in the right place. Thanks.

I have seen Pokemon magazines books and similar literature that told that some of the Pokemon are based on mythical creatures, like, I believes, Meowth is based on the Maeki Neko and Ninetales is based on the Kitsune. Does someone know a site or themselves what Pokemon is based on what mythical creatures? Thanks.

You might be able to find various info on this on Bulbapedia. Just search for the Pokemon you want to look up, possible inspirations for what Pokemon are based on might be found there in the article for that Pokemon.
