Tiger Mask which is popular in Japan definitely influenced Incineroar's design.
Kyogre and Groudon were based on Jewish mythology.
Landorus, Tornadus, Thundurus are inspired by Raijin.
Infernape and Emboar are inspired by Chinese mythology, in which Infernape is Sun Wukong and Emboar is Zhu Bajie.
 
Lilo & Stitch. Most of the hawaiian elements used in the movie made their way into SM, there's even a part in Lilo & Stitch where the group builds two sandcastles, one is well-made and other is a pile of sand, which may have inspired Sandygast and Palossand.
Quite a lot of Kanto and Johto mons are inspired in Kaiju movies like Godzilla. Also, Mewtwo is based on the monster design of Dragon Ball.
 
Dragon hunters, How to train your dragon, the last dragon, mulan and kung fu panda also made a lot I think.
 
we had DC references to Batman with Gligar in Johto.
 
I think some of these are a pretty big stretch. Lilo and Stitch didn't invent the idea of sandcastles, and it's a little silly to say SuMo used the "Hawaiian elements" from it-the Hawaiian elements came from Hawaii, not Lilo and Stitch. Dragons have existed far longer than films based on them. (I couldn't even find a dragon from HTTYD or Dragon Hunters that resembles any Pokemon) The idea of auras and spiritual energy wasn't started with a 1985 film-it's existed for hundreds of years.

Franchises using similar inspirations doesn't mean they're referencing each other, it just means there's a good source of inspiration.
 
It's not a franchise or a culture. But Satoshi Tajiri's hobby, bug collecting, which began the franchise.

@Matleo it is impossible as Pokémon predates Harry Potter by a year. Dragons were in Pokémon before Harry Potter.

I dont have on mind what was first : egg or chicken, but rather how other media creations affected the creativity of creating further generations of pokemon?

like "How to train your dragon series" made that pokemon creators didnt want to copy one of those dragons by accident...

Like Digimon and Pokemon relations in the past ( there also were angels and fairies in Digimon)

Somewtimes I think the creators fear to much about accidental copiing to much... or want to be to innovative and should rather try 50/50 more, some pokes will be better others not, but they can alswys boost them with moves, abilities and new forms.
 
None of the Harry Potter dragon species have yet materialised into Pokémon, unless you count the endlessly stretched Druddington=Hungarian Horntail (which is a HUGE stretch).
 
how will Game of Thrones impact on future ice types?
