>>37399530Agreed. Felt like they wanted to alternate between Rock types vs ancient themes more at will without constraining the designs to feel Rock.
I really think some dex tropes are needed staples and new fossils should stay. They are valued more than most designs. There is no way you can convince me that Gamefreak can’t crap out a generic flavored Sauropod-of-the-day on command, that’d honestly be enough. It’s by far one of the most popular fakemon areas, along with Eeveelutions.
It’s a chance to explore Pokémon’s roots in a way. Look at Tyrantrum and tell me they didn’t nail it, everyone had asked for a trex and when they got one it was huge. I like the non dinosaur designs more but Tyrantrum definitely converted me. Then there’s Aurorus... who chose the eyes on that one, the preevo eyes were infinitely better
