New fossils speculation

[Fourth The Tyrant]

I'm still waiting for a velociraptor-based fossil. Maybe rock/dark?
A sabercat one would be interesting too. If they could somehow make a rock/fire sabrecat work, that would be amazing.
There's also Triceratops. Or rock/water plesiosaur perhaps...

There are a lot of possibilities that haven't been used yet that they could draw off of.

 

[Kung Fu Ferret]

Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Spinosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Liopleurodon, Ankylosaurus, Dimetrodon, Mammoth (an actual mammoth with a trunk, not Mamoswine the giant tusky pig), Indricotherium, Doedicurus, Elasmotherium, Megatherium, Smilodon, Moa, Dodo, Megaloceros. Any of them I'd be happy with. I'm not picky. Much. ^^

ALL of these are good ideas. As are Mosasaurus, Titanoboa, Deinotherium, Leptictidium, Plateosaurus, Iguanodon, Plesiosaurus, Carnotaurus, Entelodon, Sarcosuchus, and Phorusrhacos.

I want a dog.

 

[MarinoKadame]

A Rock/Normal fossil based on mammals of the past or prehistoric rodents would be great.

 

[Mobile Tsk]

I think that having Rock/Fire and Rock/Dark would fit well with the theme of the games. Perhaps they could evolve with evolutionary stones as well (just an idea). Or perhaps not even making them version exclusive, or in line with the theme, and doing something totally unrelated and letting you choose (or have both!).

 

[MarinoKadame]

I would like to have the 3 fossils back like in gen 1 with 2 fossils you can pick and one you get in both version aka Aerodactyl.

I don't see electric-type being a secondary typing for a fossil at I still think it is a modern discovery. If there was an electric-type back then, people would learn how to harness it earlier on etc.

However, I see a Rock/Dark, probably a velociraptor, and a Rock/Water, one of those long-necked water dinosaur things, happening.

Plesiosaur, I think, is what you mean.

Like everyone else is saying, I'd love to see a third Fossil that you actually get during the story. However, I'd prefer it to be a sidequest which the Pokemon series clearly lacks. I'd like to see a little version exclusivity. So at one point, you have to choose between two Fossils, let's say the Talon Fossil or the Fin Fossil, and by going through an optional sidequest you get the Scale Fossil in Sun and the Horn Fossil in Moon. Those are just names for the sake of this post; I'm not suggesting any of them as of right now.

 

[Shadow Chill]

We have yet to see a prehistoric mammal or marine animal. Then again, I wouldn't mind if they did a Jurassic World hybrid and made a witty reference.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I think a Rock/Bug in reference to fossilized bugs could be interesting.

Alternatively I'd like something similar to Cradily that isn't a dinosaur. At least for one of them.

 

[LexAnarchy]

I have no idea what creatures they could be based on, but having another Rock/Dark type would be cool. A Rock/Poison sort of combination would be interesting to see as well.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

What about the possibility of alien lifeform fossil? Like a fossil that came from space.

It could be interesting if we got some kind of alien interpretation of a dinosaur.

 

[pkmin3033]

How about an unfossilised Genesect? How it appeared before it was modified by Team Plasma, I mean.

Also, a Dimetrodon-inspired fossil Pokemon would be amazing.

If these games are truly sequels to XY, then we might not see any new fossils in Gen 7. The last sequel generation was Gen 2, and it didn't introduce any new fossils.

Unlike later gens, Gen 2's Pokémon were designed to complement rather than replace Gen 1's Pokémon, with the starters, Legendary Dogs, and Celebi being the only real expies of Gen 1 Pokémon (as Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, and Mew were the only Pokémon from RBY who really were "replaced" in GSC).

If Gen 7's also a sequel generation, then its lineup will probably be similarly designed to complement Gen 6's, which should be easy with as few Pokémon as Gen 6 introduced.

 

[Sun]

A smilodon Pokemon and an amebelodon fossil Pokemon, game freak please?

 

[Micael Alighieri]

I'd expect a diurnal and a nocturnal Pokemon, the first would be a dinousaur-based mon (since the majority were active during daytime) and the second one, surprisingly, would be a mon based on a prehistoric mammal (the first mammals prefered to made their life during the night because they hadn't to face against dinosaurs).

Apart of this, I think I'm speaking for all when I say we all want the underground back in Pokemon games.

 

[Jetfire]

A fossilized legendary pokemon sounds pretty neat.

 

[Fahmi07]

I want a Rock/Ghost or Rock/Steel

I don't think that they should make it too similar to Gen 2.

If the legendaries are fossils...well that'll be awesome. I like the idea of them being revived, Groudon and Kyogre were the closest to being this (having to be reawaken and have bodies that look like stone prior to awakening, plus are called Super Ancient Pokémon), and then there's the fossil made Mythical/legendary Pokémon, Genesect. Perhaps they died during an eclipse.

I'm thinking we probably won't see more dinosaurs if we get fossils again this time round. We've already got a pterosaur, four dinosaurs and one that's a bird that evolved directly from dinosaurs.

We've got a lot of anthropoid fossils already too. I'm expecting fossils in Sun and Moon, if there are any, to probably be mammalian in nature.
