So I was going to just start a thread for my beloved Tyrantrum line but
A. It would probably be slow as fuck.
B. It didn't seem fair to the other wonderful prehistoric Mons of the past.

So let's have a fossil Pokemon thread

Though some Tyrantrum/Tyrunt love and art would be much appreciated.

wish they'd have made Tyrunt and Amaura 3-stage fossils.

-we've had a duo of dinosaur fossils before
-except for the single-stage mega evolving aerodactyl,
-all fossils are 2-stage and come in pairs
-tyrantrum looks more imposing than the pseudo-legends, especially with the whole royal-theme, which would make a mid-stage completely appropriate

as for Aurorus, its current look would be slightly altered into the mid-stage, and a grander milotic-level of beautiful 3rd stage added.
it wouldnt fix its Shit/Shit aka practically-quad-weak-to-everything-type, but itd be nice

I've never raised a Rampardos because when I first played gen 4 I could not for the life of me find his goddamned fossil, not to mention the excavation minigame was extremely aggravating.
I lost interest and have since failed to use one

Never, because that would make Genesect the Predator. Since he's a pre-historic Predator that basically killed off all the past Pokemon, and that's before he got metal armor and a cannon.

Too bad all of rampardos' other stats are less than optimal and it's weak to every commonly used attacking type, I hope that it gets a mega that's pretty good. Same thing goes for almost every other fossil, there are so many that desperately need stat boosts or better abilities.

I'm glad we're finally starting to see more Dinosaur Fossils. I'd really like to see a Stegasaurus though. Maybe we can get like old fossil versions of existing Pokemon. Like a fossil praying mantis, like an ancient Scyther or such.

I think it could be really neat, especially if the whole game was about prehistoric Pokemon coming back, or literally like a Jurassic Park Region.

It's not necessarily a fossil pokemon, since you don't revive it from a fossil, but it is a prehistoric pokemon (or at least a modified one). It's kind of like mamoswine.
>>24626447
I wouldn't mind a rampardos mega that just put all of its boosts into speed and physical defense, since mach and bullet punch really hurt it and there's only like one special priority move.

Armaldo is the one you never see being talked about lol. Cradily is well-known for it's quirky design and it has a reputation as a stall-mon. Armaldo is a generic monstery-mon and a slow sweeper, which is the one combination that makes a mon useless in battle.

Actually, what sort of prehistoric creatures would you like to see as Fossil Pokemon? I'd like it if there were more Cenozoic and Paleozoic themed Pokemon

I was going for the "evolves with ancientpower=prehistoric shit", though i'm thinking about going for Tropius, who actually looks like a prehistoric creature.
I could stretch it too much and probably add Scolipede as a stand-in for Arthropleura, aka the giant centipede from the paleozoic.

Rock/Fire Dimetrodon based on the idea that they used their sales to regulate body temperature.

>1st stage
Pretty much looks like a regular dimetrodon. The sail on its back could have a pattern resembling the sun, kind of like Volcarona's wings

>2nd stage
Gets bigger, sail gets bigger, and it has two smaller sails made of flames along either side of the big sail. Possibly rears up on its hind legs to look like a pseudo-spinosaurus
