>>55897499>living fossilThis one pisses me off. I'm aware horseshoe crabs exist, but the issue with this concept is that now you have to explain why every single fossil Pokemon has been rock type, except Gen 8 where it's clear you're merging two Pokemon together and therefore you can throw away the rock typing temporarily.
I could explain this as "oh, the species was revived and the ones they find are misidentifications," but there's really no evidence for that, is there? It's a good logical deduction, but it could still be wrong.
>escaping after being resurrectedSo, in other words, the only known ones to exist in the wild are the revived ones and their offspring, which probably also don't share their original typing.
