The Baku that you see in the thought bubble is kinda close to what Baku's original design looked like. He looked more like a real tapir and had some more accessories. I've always said though that Baku is more or less the Pikachu of the series, and if I'd gone with that design…yeah, I could have done it. But it'd be more like if Ash started with a Rhyhorn instead of a Pikachu.
And also, the history of the Baku here is accurate according to my sources…which is totally not Wikipedia, I promise >_>
