New games like Pokemon Go have exited Pokemon players all around the world.
But even the existance of the creatures we call Pokemon is beacuse of nature.
Many Pokemon have been inspired by insects, birds and mammals.
For instance these Caterpie looks a lot like some caterpillar that wants to mimic the eyes of a bird or the face of a viper.
Even more, the Pokemon´s names have scientific meaning and explain anatomicaly their powers, for instance how some Pokemon produce electricity in their bodies for later use.
