>>55238822they did NOTHING with the concept they just added fucking dinosaur features on them like a fucking small child's idea of what a "prehistoric animal" is
they could've done common ancestors that are kind of like fusions between multiple pokemon, they could've taken inspiration from actual prehistoric creatures and mixed them with an existing pokemon, they could've made "non-fossilized" versions of the fossilmons like a tyrantrum with feathers or alt evolutions for anorith or kabuto that aren't anthro and resemble the creatures they're based on more, fucking ANYTHING with the concept of prehistoric pokemon ancestors, and yet they did the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM, passionless designs made by jaded artists
the same goes for the future designs. could've played with the speculative evolution concept or technological progress, there's more to "future" then "turn everything into a fucking robot"
