Being a kid, we all once in while have been star stuck with the Pokémon show. Some even desired to pet a playmate like Pikachu. Unfortunately, Pokémon is an animated series and they are not real.
If you still believe this, you are still living in your dreams. With the introduction of the Pokemon Go mobile game, the interest in Pokemons has renewed and reached a new level. Almost half of the Pokémons are inspired from real life animals and plants. Don't believe us? Check out yourself – 13 real Pokémons that live and breathe.
