Started work on this shortly after my Regional Birds poster, and then University picked up and it sat as a sketch in my files for. months. But it's done now!
Scientific Names were coined during the sketch phase, so a lot of why i picked the names I did has gone with time, but I do remember the translations as a lot of them are quite simple! So, here you go:
Raticate – Rattus kantonius (Kantonian rat)
Furret – Mustela agilis (Agile mustelid/ferret)
Linoone – Taxidea linear (Linear badger, specifically an American badger as Linoone resembles them closer)
Mightyena – Crocuta domesticus (Domestic hyena)
Bibarel – Castor hisuian (Hisuian beaver, I thought it would be a cute nod to how when the Sinnoh Pokédex was originally written and its Pokémon categorised, the region was called Hisui)
Watchog – Suricata observo (Observant meerkat)
Diggersby – Lepus fossorius (Tunneling rabbit)
Gumshoos – Herpestes exspecto (Patient mongoose. Technically this translation is a stretch as what exspecto does mean is To Wait, or To Expect)
Alolan Raticate – Rattus alolan (Alolan rat)
Greedent – Sciurus gluttonem (Gluttonous squirrel)
Obstagoon – Meles linear (Linear badger, specifically a European badger, as Galarian Linoone is designed after them. Shares its suffix with base linoone as a nod to their relation, though technically it should be closer related than I depicted them)
Oinkologne – Sus aromatum (Aromatic Pig, a reference to the line's repeated references to having a pleasant scent)
