12 Pokemon Inspired By Real Historical Events

2. Sigilyph

This strange looking Pokemon was inspired by the Nazca Lines, especially the set of lines resembling a stylised hummingbird. The Nazca Lines were created in the Nazca Desert in Peru by an ancient civilisation of people who lived in around the years 500 BC to 500 AD. Their location in the desert matches the desert location that Sigilyph can be found in in Pokemon Black and Pokemon White.
