Inspired by real-world animals, they couldn’t help but have similar origins.

Since the beginning of the franchise there were some Pokémon that came from fossils, referring to the fact that they were extinct creatures that, through said fossils, could be revived. In this way, and inspired by real fossils, some of the these monsters that later have been decisive.
