Why is there no fossil Pokemon based on Cenozoic creatures?

Same reason there's no fossil pokemon based on Pelycosaurs and the Permian Synapsids, normalfags haven't heard of them.

Pretty sure more normies have heard about the terror birds, for example, than about the anomalocaris, yet we have a Pokemon based on the latter and not on the former. Even the pelycosaurs that you mentioned are fairly well known thanks to Dimetrodon.

most of them are probably too recent to fit the fossil-theme, which emphasizes very ancient-looking creatures. wouldn't be surprised if we get some eventually though.

Japan loves anomalocaris. It's T-rex tier popular there.

Because they're too recent, so they just become regular pokemon instead, like Slaking, Raikou, Chesnaught and Mamoswine.

It would be horrible defensively, but I like the idea that if they did Ice Age animals that were part Ice-type instead of part Rock.

They have fossils too and they find these things practically everywhere. Like how in Europe there's heraldry with fossils on them.

Because everything with fucking hands and feet isn't a gorilla. The one and only reason for the "Slaking is a gorilla" meme is dumbasses who don't know that three toed sloths aren't the only sloth species.

So why is Slaking definitely 100% two-toed sloth and definite 0% anything else?

It's not 100% two toed sloth, but it's just as much or little gorilla as all the other pokémon that have hands and feet despite their real life inspirations.

Then again, you probably think mightyena is a wolf because you've never seen a striped hyena.

Nah I know what a striped hyena is. I think the "issue" here is that people use the word "gorilla" to mean "it looks like a great ape/hominidae" and I would definitely think it does resemble some generic great ape, at least partially.

>>34793992
well they did it they went off the beaten path and made something totally unrecognizable to even someone who knows what a anomalocaris is and uncategorizable monster to those who dont know what an anomalocaris is
