Seeing as they're objectively the coolest subcategory of pokemon lets have a fossilmon thread.
ah yes the kanto fossils, the galar fossils, and the ones no one remembers
>>55781991fixd
>>55781997Galar fossils are memorable for being garbage
My favorites are Archeops and Tyrantrum
>>55781991For me it's Tyrantrum, Bastiodon, Archeops and Armaldo. My only fossil shiny is Aurorus and it looks nice, but I prefer Tyrantrums. Very dissapointed we haven't gotten any new fossils in a few gens
>>55781991>They broke the barely-new tradition with Johto>Resume it in the next gen>Brake it again in Paldea It makes me a bit upset. I am not so fond of these pokemon but I wish I could see how fossil pokemon would've looked like in Johto and Paldea.Also>Rampardos, the Rock pokemon that evolved to have a strong head doesn't have Rock Head>Archeops' AbilityArmaldo and Cradily should have Water Absorb imo (it makes sense).The most interesting thing about fossil for me is how did they look like in the past.>Many of them had a different typing, with the Rock type being added after reconstruction>Aerodactyl apparently was different and its Mega is a glimpse of what he could've looked like>Tyrantrum had more fur in the past>Kabutops could've been Bug/Water due to them being based on anthropods>Aurorus could've been Dragon/Ice >The paldean fossils were incomplete and only reconstructed by mixing them with different fossils
>>55782288Alola broke it too, no? At least we've got fossils more recently than an Eeveelution
I can't say I love them but I don't think the Galar fossils are THAT bad. The idea of the fossil process creating unholy abominations from the remains of separate species is pretty funny but they could have designed them a lot better. I think we should have had two rock/ghost mismatched fossil mon, both losing their original typing since they're still dead.So Aerodactyl got a mega but when the fuck are Omastar and Kabutops getting their mandated new form all Kantomons do?
This thread on my birthday? Nice.
>>55781991so we're gonna get vish, arcto, draco, and saur in the galar legends game, right
>>55782288> could see how fossil pokemon would've looked like in Johto and Paldea.No fossils for because excluding Johto from nice things is one of Game Freak’s Ten Commandments (other 9 being “HAIL CHARIZARD”)No fossils for Paldea because SV is such a glitch fest that fossil pokemon would probably crash the game Not sure why Alola didn’t get any.
>>55782521alola didn't have any because the real hawaii doesn't have any, they're very new islands formed by volcanic rock rather than sediment
>>55782470galar also gave us a ghost type diplocaulus mon with only half its body, which if i'm understanding is basically what you're proposing here. i'd honestly call the dreepy line honorary fossil mons even moreso than relicanth, because it's not even a living fossil, it's straight up the ghost of a 250 million year old animal.
>>55782519I really wish I could've gotten an electric/rock complete-zolt raptor. I also desperately want a Poison/Rock Dilophosaurus even though they weren't actually poisonous
>>55782534Forever mad that they didn't deliver the prehistoric park proposed by that one NPC on Akala island, would have been kino as hell
Where are my fellow Cambrianchads?
>>55782573we ride or die for the ordivician period, really sad cradily didn't get a gigantimax form considering crinoids are some of the only animals to ever actually get that big
>>55781991Kabutops would be so much higher in my list if it had eyes like that. What is it with stuff like kabutops and armaldo fucking up the unique features of their prevos?
Only fan theory I will always gaslight myself into believing no matter what, concept is too cool.
Dead, just like fossilmon.
>>55784023And yet you bumped this thread.
>>55781991What scientific names do yu think they would have?
>>55781991>>55781991
My tier list. I'm expecting more fossils in the next gen.
>>55785135thats a pretty nice list anon
>>55785148Thanks man I try to keep my tier lists balanced.
>>55785135>arctozolt at the bottomit's literally the cutest one :(
>>55785135>Any of the fused abortion fossils above D
>>55785293I dunno it just looks odd to me but not in a good way, way too awkward.>>55785327Dracovish is so bizarre and lovable, love that dopey thing. Arctovish is up there because it makes me chuckle.
>>55781997Are the kanto fossils even popular? Sure people remember them because KANTOOOO but nobody talks about them outside of Twitch Plays Pokemon references.
>>55785293i will never for the life of me understand why people think snot drops are cute
>>55782512getting to be a fossil yourself, eh?
>>55785135>gen 1 fossils not only that low, but below fucking RampardosAbsolutely disgusting.
>>55782850>the largest recorded crinoid having a stem 40 m (130 ft) in length.[19]What the fuck
>>55782573I play Paleozoics in Yugioh for that reason! Also, most of those mons aren’t based on Cambrian animals. I want my Hallucigenia fossil mon.There’s a Devonian fossil bed in my state and I’ve wanted a Duncleosteous fossilmon for years, and I guess I got half of my wish :/
>>55782850>>55787553Dude I found this in my mom’s driveway and it was bigger than any I saw in the Devonian bed in my area. Did they get that big in the Ordovician?
>>55787608actually a lot of the very biggest ones were devonian, they just came onto the scene in the ordovician. also super cool fossil, they're pretty common here too and i love finding them>>55787591>hallucigeniai actually want this so bad i designed a fakemon for it a year or so ago
>>55785135Ftfy
The fuck do people have against Rampardos? He's neat.
>>55789614Sadly fucked over by Game Freak. Same with Bastiodon and Aurorus.
Gen 5 fossils were just an embarrassment.
A funny idea I have for a fossil fakemon is one based off of the wooly unicorn. Similar to the Galar abominations.
>Tyrantrum in anything other than SSo many people with shit taste in this thread.
>>55789693
>>55782381Alola is a volcanic island chain with no sedimentary rocks, there aren’t any fossils in Hawaii either.
>>55789695he's right
>>55785135The 'zolts are cute tho :<
you know what, since everybody is getting wrong, here is the definitive, objective tier list.
>>55789693>>55791324Here you go then.
>>55789676That horn on its head... YIKES
>>55781991I wonder what the decision process is when they decide if a gen will get fossils or not. I love fossils, but it's really a gamble if we're getting them or not.
>>55789693same reason why people pretend to like omastar instead of kabutops, they have the gay brain aids that prevent them from expressing any opinion that is viewed as popular for any reason
Hey guys... can I sit here?
>>55781991I wish there was a rock type version of Body Press so Bastidon can be good instead of niche.
>>55793244Better yet:Bastiodon doesn't have the Rock typing.
>>55793244Dubs cause the monkey paw to curl, the move is created and is only learnable by rampados
>>55781997>and the ones no one remembersEveryone remembers Hoenn's fossilmons, tranny.
>>55793463Better luck next time.
>>55781997Everyone remembers the hoenn ones, Tyrantrum is relevant because Trex is the charizard of dinosaurs... If anything the Galarvae ones are easily forgotten, only dracovish was ever relevant.
>>55794662>charizard out of nowhere
>>55782003Close, but no cigar.
>>55781991
