I have been thinking about this question for a while now. Since many Pokemon
are based around animals, which animals are Pokemon based on? I ask for the
family of the animals, such as dogs, cats, mice and so on. The complete
definition is in [this link](http://a-z-animals.com/reference/animal-
classification/).

**I would like a complete list if possible.**

Almost all Pokemon based on animal, that we're familiar with, or even animal
that we doesn't know before.

Many of them are combined from two species at once, like Eevee's evolution
that have some characteristic of Canidae and Felidae, so I put it on one of
the family.
