Ancient Power as an evolution mechanic is neat. A secondary way to access prehistoric pokemon as an almost "de-evolution" system, from what I can tell from the three examples we get. I kinda wish GF would touch on this evo method more.

I always thought this was one of the coolest ideas for evolution they ever did and wish they used it again. The idea of a pokemon sort of "deevolving" back to a more primal form is such a cool idea and they never used it past gen 4.

I always seen those evolutions as the natural progression of those pokemon but back in the past they were able to evolve into those pokemon normally via level up. But over time and changing environment they just lost the ability to evolve into them because that evolution and extra strenght isn't needed for the species to survive anymore
It's like animals losing features they once had or those features shrink down because they don't need them anymore

Me too, man. Having an avenue for prehistory outside of fossils is a treasure trove to explore. Shame its a one and done deal.

Friendly reminder that koraidon is the only paradox pokemon that gets ancient power.

The dex entry for Yanmega doesn't speak to it. There's a dex entry for Tangrowth that suggest it isn't adapted for warm climates. Mamoswine has several dex entries mentioning population decline at the end of the ice age and one entry saying Mamoswine was thought to have been extinct.

What ideas for an ancient power evolution would you want to see? The series seems fond of taking recent lines from a generation or two ago and giving them a new evolution, an evolution for Sizzlipede would be cool.

I haven't played gen 9 so correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the actual explanation that they're pokemon from alternate realities that have somehow traveled to the in game universe? It's stupid seeing as how that's basically UB's gimmick but that's just GF.
