I review all the fossil Pokemon before sharing my own designs.
(Anodukes is supposed to be Fighting type instead of Psychic btw.)

Fossil Pokemon have so much potential. There's just so many weird paths you could go down.

That's true, yet I still think it's better for them to keep weird/impressive creatures as inspirations, otherwise we would lose a lot of unicness.

I have the concept of a mechanic where you could turn Pokemon into it's prehistoric form or ancestral form and future form (but mostly prehistoric since I'm a Paleontology enthusiasm) and a whole new region where it got froze in time and all the prehistoric Pokemon stay the same at it was

@Zerox_Z21 Год назад

The crystal palace dinosaurs were actually reasonably good attempts at scientific accuracy for the time period! I've always wanted to see Pokemon based off of them. The likely inspiration for the mixed up fossil Pokemon is the inciting incident of the Bone Wars. Edward Drinker Cope showed his friend, Othniel Marsh, his new discovery: Elasmosaurus. Marsh took one look at it an immediately laughed at Cope, pointing out that he had put the skull on the end of the tail. This notorious incident kicked off their entire rivalry and I would think is the likely explanation for the mix'n'match Pokemon. I will die on the hills that Kabuto/ps are horseshoe crabs. They share so much more in common with them than they do trilobites.

@CoralReaper707 Год назад

Oooh. More trilobites would be welcome!

@croixcris Год назад

I like how tripirt's name is a palindrome referencing how it's the same front and back but Halludrome completely abandons that naming scheme and it loses the symmetry. Very fitting evolution

@vee8101 Год назад

As just sort of a word of advice - from someone making their own creature collecting game, merging the ground and rock type can end up being a bad idea in the long run due to type matchups - soft mud and a hard stone will resist and be strong against vastly different things and it can result in the Geo type being lopsided. I also tried to merge them in my game and eventually decided it was for the best to split them up for type matchups’ sake.

@parasitex5 Год назад

Water / Ice, Steel (different types of metal), and Grass (a pliable leaf full of water vs a dry wooden trunk) are very different substances too. Element types won't ever match perfectly as they're a simplification of the real world. Some amount of suspension of disbelief is required for good gameplay.

@dragonlogos1 Год назад

@@parasitex5 yeah but that the thing. Let’s stick to Pokémon, rock and ground types do very different things gameplay wise. rock is more for countering specific types, ground is more general. Move pools include less rock moves and more ground. And really it also adds weaknesses or to add defenses to particular mons which is how the game works. These games are an elaborate version of rock paper scissors and you can’t just remove scissors from the game without some massive effort to re- balance not just the types but moves and stats.

@nicolasturetta7959 Год назад

At the end It would be the same water/grass/steel/fighting/ice weakness while having normal/Flying/bug/Fire/poison/ resistances, Electric immunity and Fairy/dragon/Ghost/psychic/dark and "Geo" dealing neutral damage, It wouldn't be a big issue imho

@dragonlogos1 Год назад

@@nicolasturetta7959 go play with a type coverage Pokédex calculator rock hits 26.7% of the Pokédex super effectively Ground hits 27% Together they hit 47% of the Pokédex super effectively. In other words over half their coverage is not overlapping. And only 8 Pokémon resist both types This games balance is very complicated. types are very difficult to mess and especially when design problems can lay dormant until one little thing one new move, one Pokémon with the right states and its balance is gone with no checks.

@nidohime6233 Год назад

In many traditions there only had the earth element and the rest are just variations, while in chinese culture they made metal and wood as separated things from earth. Its all depends on how you balances types ingame.

The mix and match aspect of the Gen 8 Fossils are based on England’s Bone wars, where decades ago people really wanted to brag about how they had the newer and better fossils so they rushed to make “””new””” fossils by just putting different fossil bones together and calling them new

@NisarKhan-jm1uh 10 месяцев назад

The Bone wars occurred in the United States not in the United Kingdom.

@bigredmonster0799 6 месяцев назад

The bone wars weren't English though. It was a conflict between two American paleontologists, namely Othniel Charles Marsh and Edmund Drinker Cope.

@aurahoneydew9607 Год назад

When you realize that we had not just one but two missed chances for nonrock fossil Pokemon. The Tundra DLC has a sector where they didn't go extinct so could have had versions of them that evolved naturally and Scarlet is about time travel so could have had primal version of them plucked from the past.

@brysonbarnett4 Год назад

I totally agree with you that the 1v1 match up between a generation's fossils/exclusives shouldn't be the deciding factor. However I think it's worth mentioning that with Cradily and Armaldo's type match up, both take one of the other's type neutral and are weak to the other. Armaldo is hit neutral by grass and is weak to rock, while Cradily is hit neutral by rock and weak to bug.

@WSNO Год назад

Something that i very much like about the Hoenn fossil Pokémon is they really embody the land and sea theme of the story of Ruby/Sapphire. They're both Pokémon that lived in the water, but neither are water types. One can theorize upon how the decisions of Archie and Maxie and their teams of either expanding the sea or the land and how that would affect the Lileep and Anorith as they went from ancient to modern times. And where does the living fossil Relicanth play in?

@WSNO Год назад

Your fossil pokemon are brilliant, by the way

@nidohime6233 Год назад

Another nod with paleonthology is the presence of sea creatures fossils in the desert sugests the place used to be a sea millions of years ago, like in real life Sahara.

@artimist0315 Год назад

Your designs were really interesting ! I like that those aren't just very popular dinosaurs but actually unknown yet interesting creatures. It won't stop me from wondering what a Pokémon based on parasaurolophus or ankylosaurus could look like, but I really like discovering new inspirations for designs.

@jaschabull2365 Год назад

Charmeleon always looked like a parasaurolophus to me (though I guess it doesn't really act all that much like one). And torterra always seemed to have a bit of ankylosaur in it, particularly the head, even if it is pretty clearly mostly world turtle.

@Ben-wu3or Год назад

this is dope. I love how your fossils put a spin on the "fast sweeper vs. slow wall" pattern, with one being fast but defensive and the other being slow but offensive. very creative!

@mauroperez2848 Год назад

The fossil pokemon are cool in that you look at them and wonder what they was like in the past. It was mentioned that the fossilization process is why they all share the rock type, minus the gen 8 fossils. I still love the gen 8 fossil pokemon for the mix-and-match concept. I do agree that I don't see it being repeated unless we get the completed versions of the fossil fragments. Your fossil pokemon look amazing and I love how you based them around brains vs brawn. My favorite has to be Halludrome because I love how bizarre Hallucgenia looks. It looks so alien that I'm surprised we haven't had an official fossil pokemon based on it. This is a minor thing to point out, but the type icons for Anodukes has the symbol for psychic instead of fighting.

@n0rtist Год назад

Thank you for pointing out the mistake; I'll add it to the description!

@_marshP Год назад

If the "fossil pokemon are rock type because of the defossilization process" thing is true, I would love to see ice fossils become the ice-type, or the tar fossils possibly gaining the fire-type (or maybe grass type or some ability that has it swap between the 2)?

@somehelluvafanboy8357 Год назад

Side note: It's just my opinion, but Rock and Ground should remain separated imo, since it creates some unbalancing on the type chart (plus, it makes it have 17 types and I'm kind of an even number type of person (except when it ends on 5, 5 is cool))

@this_commenter_had_a_stroke Год назад

The tripirt line could alternatively get the contraty ability, since that ability does tie in with the theme of not knowing how this mon's oriented, especially since others mons that have it are malamar, a mon that evolves by turning upside down, and lurantis, which has the gimmick of real life orchid mantises, except completely flipped around to have a flower that looks like an insect. And as much as I'm sorry for taking malamar's signature move... come on, the move "topsy-turvy" would fit this mon very well (It's not like Grapploct didn't already take the opportunity to snag it as well)

@AdeptCharon 8 месяцев назад

Correction on a little detail: Carracosta is Water/Rock, not Rock/Water. So while having the same combination of types as Kabuto/Omanyte, it's technically a reverse one, as Water seems to be meant as the more important of Carracostas types. Thr order doesn't matter mechanically (yet), but it definitely has some reasoning tied to the concept/design of a Pokémon. And since you are making your own monster game, that could be an opportunity to explore the idea of the order of elements mattering in some gane mechanic way.

One note; the PBS video *did not* start the Carcinisation memes, it was in *response* to the meme that already existed online, it merely projected it from the niches of marine scientist-adjacent spaces online to the general public at large. I can distinctly remember seeing multiple Carcinisation memes all the way back in 2015 on Tumblr, and iirc, the posts were even older, one dating back to 2013.

@chigau2533 Год назад

Currently the sail hypothesis for amargasaurus is considered highly unlikely; it seems that they actually had sharp keratin sheaths over the bone to make for an impressive defense against predators, since amargasaurus was one of the smaller sauropods. Meanwhile recent evidence suggests tyrannosaurus had feathers, and therefore ironically, if they were scientifically accurate, tyrantrum would be soft and fluffy while auroras would be hard and spiky!

@MumboJ 6 месяцев назад

The bit about Amargasaurus having either fins or thorns makes me want two different fossil mon created from the same fossil depending on which restoration technique you choose (or which interpretation of the spiny worm you believe). Also, now I want a humanshape pokemon that just evolves into a crab for no reason. xD

my favourite honorary member of the fossil group is relicanth. A Pokémon that was once believed to have been extinct. The species has not changed its form for 100 million years. It walks on the seafloor using its pectoral fins. It was fortuitously discovered during a deep sea expedition. Its teeth have atrophied, so it now survives on microscopic organisms it sucks up.
