that big blue fat thing that looks like wobuffet.

So... Wobuffet?

Also, Ditto can be a frog if it wants to.

[umiman]

No no, it's quag something. More of a newt though. Still an amphibian.

Quagsire, and no in this case technically doesnt work as best, because Lombre is a very avian-reptilian combo. to only factor the reptilian half is to insult it, "technically speaking".

[umiman]

Reptile.

[Reudh]

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

There's also swampert and that big blue fat thing that looks like wobuffet.

Swampert is a Mudskipper.

Swampert is a Mudskipper.

Uuh.. I do not really see the resemblance there..

[MadeOfStarDust]

Mudkip -> Mudskipper. Get it?

Also, Swampert is Water/Ground,  reflecting a mudskipper's nature. There's also its name as the Mud Fish Pokemon.

Mudkip -> Mudskipper. Get it?

Well that's the English version, I am not sure if the original Japanese version is similar.
And the water/ground thing sure makes it an amphibian, that I can agree on, however it does not look remotely fish-like.

The Mudkip line is based on the Axolotl

They're amphibious, but calling it a frog would be like calling Charizard line frogs since they're based on salamanders.

No, you're thinking of Wooper and Quagsire.

I maintain that Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert are mudskippers.

What I sometimes find funny about Pokémon is when they recreate the exact same animal over and over again.

Bulbapedia mentions that they're most likely based off mudskippers. As for the Japanese name:

ミズゴロウ/Mizugorou may be a combination of 水 mizu (water) and ムツゴロウ mutsugorō (mudskipper).

[UltraValican]

Quagsire appears to be based on giant salamanders, the family of that includes both the Japanese and Chinese species and the hellbender.

Like Mudkip and Marshtomp, Swampert is based on the mudpuppy, axolotl, or mudskipper.

I'm just saying this

Looks a lot more like mudkip than this

That being said, pokemon can be inspired by multiple things.

What I sometimes find funny about Pokémon is when they recreate the exact same animal over and over again.

It can be annoying sometimes, I'm just waiting for the day the just give up on making route 1 trash no one uses besides NPCs. I can't really thing of a pokemon that has the EXACT same concept reused though.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Does anyone else think the pokemon rangers look kinda like commissars?

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Finally I am close to encountering Yveltal for the first time. Should I set it as a Special or Physical Sweeper? The answer will determine what nature I am after...
