You can see what animal or thing a pokemon is based off of, as well as an origin for its name by going to bulbapedia and looking up that pokemon’s profile…as for the “pikachu” like pokemon, there is:

Pikachu-obviously, and all the pokemon in its chain.plusle/minun-the hoenn equivalent.Pacharishu-The sinnoh version.

-please note that my answer doesn’t include the B/W pokemon.

Actually, I think most pokemon are but here is a list of chains:Charmender - Salamander (Later on Lizard)Squirtle - Turtle(all bug-types are bugs)Pidgey - BirdRattata - RatSpearow - BirdEkans - SnakePikachu - MouseSandshrew - MouseVulpix - FoxZubat - BatDigglet - MoleMeowth - CatPsyduck - DuckMankey - Pig/MonkeyGrowlith - DogPolywag - Tadpole (A feline frog)Tentacool - JellyfishPonyta - HorseSlowpoke - SalamanderFarfetch’d - BirdDodou - OstrichSeel - Sea LionShellder - ShellfishOnix - SnakeKrabby - CrabCubone - DinosaurLickitung - ChameleonRhyhorn - RhinocerosHorsea - Sea HorseGoldeen - FishStaryu - StarfishTauros - BullMagikarp - FishLapras - Loch Ness MonsterEevee - Cat/FoxAerodactyl - PterodactylLegendary Birds - Birds (How surprising!)Dratini - Dragon

Thats it for Gen. 1. You can see a lot of pokemon Look like animals from real life. I might do it for other generations but its not easy at all…
