Many Pokémon are based on real plants or animals. But there are also pocket monsters from the anime based on real people. Meinmmo introduces you.
There are now over 1,000 pocket monsters that trainers can collect in the video games. The names of the Pokémon are mostly word games that are composed of their inspiration and their appearance.
There are some among the fantasy people who are oriented towards real people. These are martial artists, actors or even developers. So that you know which people are so unique that the developers of Pokémon dedicated a pocket monster to them, you should not miss the following list.

These 8 Pokémon are based on real people
Empoleon
Impoleon looks like ruler Napoleon.
Already by the appearance of Impoleon you can see that it is a particularly impressive Pokémon. The real template for this pocket monster is Napoleon Bonaparte. The general gained celebrity when he became the emperor of the French and conquered a large part of Europe.
It is one of the most important characters in the history of Europe because he initiated the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and created a modern civil law for the European countries. The appearance of Napoleon was created by the crown -like beak and the white area on its chest. FUN FACT: Both Impoleon and Napoleon have about the same size.
Kadabra
Kadabra can bend a spoon with the power of thoughts.
The German name of Kadabra does not yet give an idea of which real person it was inspired. The Kadabra comes from the magic saying “Abrakadabra”. The Japanese name, on the other hand, reveals what Kadabra is based on: Yungeraa is said to be derived from Uri Geller.
Uri Geller is an Israeli magician who claims to own supernatural forces. He became famous by bending spoons with the power of his thoughts. The Pokémon Company also used this template at Kadabra, which is always seen with a spoon. In 2000, Geller even sued the company (via BBC).
Barricadax
Barrikadax’s tongue constantly hangs out.
Zigzachs and geradaks have been around since the 3rd game generation, but with sword & shield, the galar forms of the Pokémon have contained another level of development. In contrast to his previous developments, Barrikadax receives a more human building and a black/white pattern on the face.
The tongue that constantly hangs out of the mouth of the Pokémon is particularly striking. The appearance in combination with the tongue is very reminiscent of gene Simmons. He was the bass player of the rock band Kiss and, unlike Uri Geller, reacted very positively to his alter ego in the Pokémon games (via Newsweek).
