Which Nintendo characters would make good Pokemon designs?

[Neanderthal]

Which Nintendo characters, SSB characters or other non Nintendo video game characters would have made good Pokemon designs?
(Assuming they never exited before becoming Pokemon ofcourse).

I think Bowsers' design would have made a great final evolution for a fire Pokemon.
Yoshi seems pretty Pokemon like too. Although I'm not sure what element type he would suite.

Any other ideas?

The Mario & Luigi series with it's plethora of unique enemies can provide a ton of pokemon. The Zelda series can also contribute with Wolfos, Bombchus, gorons, dekus etc.

A bit off topic, but when I was thinking of pokemon based on enemies of other series, I tried to imagine Mario, Luigi and Toad as pokemon trainers by editing the trainer sprites.

They could make the designs inspired (as in, not exactly equal, but similar enough) on such generic enemies.

Kid Icarus had an enemy similar to a Metroid, the Komayto, so it wouldn't be far fetched (pun intended ) to make something like that in Pokémon. Also, Lakitus have appeared in some Zelda games, although with a slightly different appearance.

I always imagined Bowser to have stats like this-

HP 110
Att 130
Def 140
Spa 100
Spd 45
Spe 45

The 100 spa would simply be so he could use his trademark flamethrower and fire blast super effectively. I imagined him to be a fire/dark type.

Boo should be an alternative evolution for gastly or something. Then evolve into king boo. Idk...

Boo stats

HP: 50
Atk: 60
Def: 50
SpA: 70
SpD. 80
Spe: 70

King Boo

HP: 70
Atk: 70
Def: 80
SpA: 110
SpD: 120
Spe: 100

That spread is very similar to what I imagined for Bowser too! Though, I always thought he should be Fire/Dragon, not Fire/Dark (though he would be capable of learning Dark moves)

fire/steel? he's got metal spikes coming out of his back

Those aren't metal spikes, they are just normal spikes

He's not a dragon though, he's a turtle, which is why I don't think it'd make sense to have that typing.

Dark makes sense to me because he's cunning and he uses dark magic. Plus there's a lot of dark physical moves that make sense on him (eg. crunch).

Hey, if we got a Pokemon like Sawk, why not?

Aegislash is definitely the master sword and hylian shield

I always thought Metalun and Big Metalun had a very Pokemon-ish aesthetic. They could evolve into each other.

Rollodillo and Sorbetti from Mari Galaxy 2 also have a Pokemon vibe going for them. Rollodillo would be a Rock-Ground and Sorbetti an Ice. Also, Sorbetti's head alone has quite the Gen V vibe, don'tcha think?
