No. Pollen from a different species of plant won't work, because different species can't interbreed. If you're talking about other pumpkin (or other, very closely related) plants, then maybe, but you'd be getting a hybrid with unknown characteristics.
Can I use pollen from other plants to pollynate a pumpkin flower ?
You can try. That's how hybrids are created. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Reply:yes but be careful not to get stung by the mad bee who job you have taken
Reply:A like plant maybe but then it would be some kind of wierd hybrid. Like plants I think would be cantalope, watermelon, summer squash. Cantalope and pumpkin doesn't sound too bad but watermelon no, no, no.
