(I'm totally lazy and dont want to think of this myself so i'm posting here for ideas)

I was thinking about a Pokemon tabletop and about a summoning specialist and stuff when i realized some stuff like Earth elementals just need a reskin (all mechanics are the same, just describe it different) to basically be some earth pokemon.

So what monsters out there are basic enough to basically be pokemon you know of but with a different description.

MM4 has a few elemental types in the front. Each is a servant of a prince of elemental evil, so they're a bit different from your typical elementals.

The bigger question is, which pokemon game are you basing this off of? There's so many games out now, and how many pokemon exist now? Over 500? 600?

Charizard is roughly the size of an average adult male human, height-wise. Also, it looks and acts like a fire-breathing dragon (and is in the Dragon egg group). Thus, a Wyrmling Red fits almost perfectly. "Almost," because the Wyrmling red is a lot weaker than Charizard would be. Thus, since most Dragon stats are somewhat interchangeable, I'd use Young Blue Dragon stats (primarily size and HD) with the Red Dragon special abilities, speeds, and breath weapon type (and area type, if you so desire), then progressing it via class levels. Use Wyrmling Black with the same changes and remove the fly speed for Charmander, then Charmeleon is a Wyrmling Blue with the same changes as for Charmander.

the easiest ones are, of course

ekans and arbok

followed by the other 'animal' substitute pokemon (such as pidgey, spearow, krabby, raticate, butterfree, etc.)

you could PERHAPS refluff a bulette into onyx (probably not, I just really wanted to refluff the bulette as a pokemon)

I imagine the hardest ones would be things like
Nidoran nidorino/a and nidoking/queen
cloyster
the 'starter' pokemon
legendary/hyper rare creatures
snorlax

okay
most of them.


though rapidash could be a nightmare rework perhaps?

can't think of anything at all for things like magnemite, electabuzz etc.

grimer and muk are simple oozes (but with better intelligence/wisdom)

perhaps a refluffed kobold could serve as charmander?
doubtful....
