We need more pokemon based on north american cryptids.

I'm not saying there's too many yokai. But we have a lot of yokai, let's branch out. The few NA ones we do have are good shit.

Give me a jackalope, you know that shit would sell plushes.
Give me Flatwoods, give me Sasquatch, give me the Jersey Devil, give me Chupacabra, give me Snallygaster, give me Pukwidgies, give me Mishipeshu/Wampus cat.
Give me the damn Fresno Nightcrawlers.

Or heck, how about some South American ones, they have what, Aipom? That's it? Half of Rayquaza?
Ya-Te-Veo would be a cool Grass-Dark.
Sihuanaba? If you want to go crosscultural you could incorporate some aspects of the Mari Lwyd and Kuchisake-Onna too. Wouldn't be the first ghost pokemon that pretends to be people or something more pleasant than its disguise.
La Llorona too.
A white and black form Cadejo maybe? That might be too close to Lycanroc. But it wouldn't have to be.
Cipitío?
