C-could we finally be getting the Jurassic Park analogue I've been hoping for for so long?

Aether needs it. It would have been awesome to get forms based on their "natural forms" that removes their Rock typing or their appearance. I can't imagine Rampardos changing, though.

Also, why Carracosta and Archeops but not Tyrantrum and Auroras? I like all included, but it seems strange to me.

Most extinct Hawaiian animals are birds and I believe a species of sea turtle that lives there is highly endangered

I still think the "Hawaii is too young to have fossils" excuse is pretty bullshit. If Gamefreak cared so much about accuracy they wouldn't have put a koala in Hawaii either, or a panda in France or an artic bear in the USA. It really feels like a cop out not to put more mon. "Oh yeah guys, we would've totally put fossils pokemon, but we thought it would look unrealistic next to the bipedal humanoid isopod"

they could have also just included two new rock type lines based on extinct creatures and made them available in the wild in SM like archeops, rampardos etc are, but in generation 8 made them into actual fossils.

I can't imagine how they'd change Archen either.

>>29406949
No Tyrantrum or Aurorus bothers me too, but I can't imagine what else theyd be up to, barring just having them be extinct everywhere except for Alola... which I'm not particularly fond of.

>>29406995
I totally agree, especially as it'd be so easy to just make Wimpod one.

Because the omitted two are from last gen, you can transfer them from XY. That's what they want to encourage, trading etc. Notice how few Kalos-mon are in the dex, because you just used them all, in theory, in XY

Doesn't explain why there's so many Kanto Pokemon (sans Alolan forms) taking up most of the damn regional dex.

We're getting 4 fossil lines in Gen 8 to make up for the lack of fossil Pokemon in Gen 7

This is retarded
Why would they avoid fossils because non-avian dinosaurs aren't native to hawaii? Tyrannosaurus isn't native to fucking france. Not even close

There still seems to be so much confusion surrounding this. I keep seeing people arguing over whether or not it will be made by GameFreak, and that it's probably going to be a spinoff...when we already have confirmation that this is not the case. MCV is a very reputable source. They don't publish BS. For them to be saying GameFreak is making a Pokemon game for the NX means that GameFreak IS making a Pokemon game for the NX.

Plus we even have The Pokemon Company saying a Pokemon game is in development for the Switch, which supports it even further.

Pokemon Eclipse for Switch is coming October 2017.
