Lets talk Fossils.
 
Okay, so you know the script. Every generation so far (apart from Gen II) brought us new Fossils that we can make Pokemon out of. Every Fossil pokemon so far has been at least part Rock type.

Gen I brought us Kabuto&Kabutops, Omanyte&Omastar and Aerodactyl.

Gen III brought us Lileep&Cradily, and Anorith&Armaldo.

Gen IV brought us Sheildon&Bastiodon, and Cranidos&Rampardos.

It begs the question, what does Gen V have in store for us? Will they cut the fossils like they did in Gen II, or will we get more fossil Pokemon? What will their secondary types be? What will they look like and what species will they be based on? Discuss.

Haza July 2nd, 2010 1:12 AM

I'm still crossing my fingers on that T-Rex or Saber Tooth, would look great in a Museum.

Ravecat July 2nd, 2010 1:20 AM

Preferably some sort of mollusc/cephalopod (orthocones?) and maybe a plesiosaur or some similar ocean-dwelling beast.

I love me some deep-sea creatures. Pokémon doesn't have enough.

Myles July 2nd, 2010 1:23 AM

We've already got primitive sea creatures, flying dinosaurs (I know not technically a dinosaur, but who cares) and both bipedal and quadruped land dinosaurs. So maybe a sea dinosaur (like Nessie) and a sabertooth tiger.

Amen to the Plesiosaur. As for me I'd like to see some Rock/Ghost fossil.

Roid July 2nd, 2010 1:26 AM

I would love to see fossils be reintroduced! A interesting feature would be that the player would mine (or whatever the player would have to do) to gather pieces to form a mega-fossil!

We could possibly see what would happen when the tour of Japan goes live!

Hibaru July 2nd, 2010 1:46 AM

Dragons and T-Rex is needed to me. Who would thought that Rock/Ghost type will come? Or Rock/Fire maybe? I don't know, We'll see what will come anyway.

Jigglymilk July 2nd, 2010 2:24 AM

I think desukan will be the new fossil. =o

Azure-Supernova July 2nd, 2010 3:08 AM

Hmmm, fossils... yes I agree we need more but what of I do not know.

I like the idea of a Sabretooth fossil though :3

I would really like non rock type fossil pokemon. Not all prehistoric pokemon have to be rock type.

Pandemonioum July 2nd, 2010 3:28 AM

Agreed, we need non Rock type fossils. And idea about mega fossil would be cool. Mining a pieces of huge fossil that would bring back ancient extinct legendary Pokemon :P

Cool! your dads an arch (w.e um a old thing explorer/researcher?) xD

idk why but i sense a raptor like fossil?

MartinJF July 2nd, 2010 3:42 AM

I can see it now:

A big beast, extinct when Groudon and Kyogre fought, and pieces of the fossil is shattered all around Isshu.

Didn't even consider this... Rock/Ghost and will be completely innovative on the idea of Fossil Pokemon.

Charizard★ July 2nd, 2010 4:09 AM

I would like to see a Velociraptor & a Ankylosaur Pokemon fossil :3

I do like this idea!!
maybe also when arceus stopped the meteor, the meteor let loose of certain fossils comin from outer space, and finding a new world XD

TheReal July 2nd, 2010 6:00 AM

Am I the only one that thinks there will be no new fossils?

Scorpio219 July 2nd, 2010 6:29 AM

wht if they had prehistoric mammals frozen in ice and you have to get like a heat up key item to thaw it out of ice like a sabertooth cave man fighting type wity mrowak like club or mamoth (even though they already have a mamoth)

I agree with this! They could use another type. Though I never really use the fossils anyways, so it'll probably end up in my PC.

Hmm, there is always the possibility of them skipping out on fossils. I don't think we should have two new ones every gen, so lets do like II and skip it this time GF!

Dr. Faustus July 2nd, 2010 8:05 AM

I'm hoping for a deinonychus and tarbosaurus bataar fossil Pokemon...

Dominus Temporis July 2nd, 2010 8:57 AM

Oh man, there's a lot of options for fossils. Sabertooth tiger is a good choice, I agree. I wouldn't mind seeing T. rex or a Carnotaurus. Perhaps a stegosaur or velociraptor... an ankylosaur or giant ancient bugs... too many to fit into one generation, that's for sure. I wouldn't mind seeing the older ones available from the start as well. I've been wanting an excuse to use Omastar for some time now.

dead-man-walking July 2nd, 2010 9:10 AM

Whatever their form in Gen. V is, hopefully the Two-Staged ones will have better stats Post-Evo. >_>

495 as Total Base Stat is kinda embarrassing for something whose Fossil can be underground for thousands of years without getting scarred at all.

But torterra really looks like an ankylosaur. I don't think they will make another one.

Bamboo Basara July 2nd, 2010 9:16 AM

I love the Sabertooth Tiger and Stegosaurus idea.
The thing is, many prehistoric creatures have already been made into Pokemon. Lapras seems to be based on a Plesiosaur, Torterra is an Ankylosaurus and Tropius is a Brachiosaurus.

...As far as I remember, Torterra looked like a Tortoise. It's name is even a portmanteau of Tortoise and Terra (Which means earth).

Ankylosaur sounds nice. That way we'll have a Fossil 'mon with balanced Att/Def. And maybe a Fossil other than Aerodactyl that can shine in Compo.
