So I was going to just start a thread for my beloved Tyrantrum line but
A. It would probably be slow as fuck.
B. It didn't seem fair to the other wonderful prehistoric Mons of the past.
So let's have a fossil Pokemon threadThough some Tyrantrum/Tyrunt love and art would be much appreciated.

Despot fossil best fossil. Sadly most of my stuff is NSFW.

>>24626079
wish they'd have made Tyrunt and Amaura 3-stage fossils.
-we've had a duo of dinosaur fossils before
-except for the single-stage mega evolving aerodactyl,
-all fossils are 2-stage and come in pairs
-tyrantrum looks more imposing than the pseudo-legends, especially with the whole royal-theme, which would make a mid-stage completely appropriate
as for Aurorus, its current look would be slightly altered into the mid-stage, and a grander milotic-level of beautiful 3rd stage added.
it wouldnt fix its Shit/Shit aka practically-quad-weak-to-everything-type, but itd be nice

Aww man you didn't have to bring childhood feels into this
Great taste, OP. Fossilmons are the best, my favorite one is rampardosfollowed by omastar.
>>24626092
I wanna see it
upload it to dropbox or somethingplease

I've never raised a Rampardos because when I first played gen 4 I could not for the life of me find his goddamned fossil, not to mention the excavation minigame was extremely aggravating.
I lost interest and have since failed to use oneJesus tiddy fucking christ that attack stat
>>24626259
Never, because that would make Genesect the Predator. Since he's a pre-historic Predator that basically killed off all the past Pokemon, and that's before he got metal armor and a cannon.
>>24626373
Too bad all of rampardos' other stats are less than optimal and it's weak to every commonly used attacking type, I hope that it gets a mega that's pretty good. Same thing goes for almost every other fossil, there are so many that desperately need stat boosts or better abilities.
Is Genesect considered a Fossil Pokemon or not?
I'm glad we're finally starting to see more Dinosaur Fossils. I'd really like to see a Stegasaurus though. Maybe we can get like old fossil versions of existing Pokemon. Like a fossil praying mantis, like an ancient Scyther or such.
I think it could be really neat, especially if the whole game was about prehistoric Pokemon coming back, or literally like a Jurassic Park Region.
>>24626306
I really really really want a Rampardos Mega with Rock Head.
With its mega stats put into bulk and speed because it already has enough attack.
That would be great.
>>24626427
A living fossil, yes. He was the alpha predator, only he survived.
>>24626427
It's not necessarily a fossil pokemon, since you don't revive it from a fossil, but it is a prehistoric pokemon (or at least a modified one). It's kind of like mamoswine.
>>24626447
I wouldn't mind a rampardos mega that just put all of its boosts into speed and physical defense, since mach and bullet punch really hurt it and there's only like one special priority move.
>>24626079
Tyrantrum is so overrated. Cradily is the best fossil mon.
>>24626903
We don't discriminate here, we love all fossils.
Besides what do you expect, T-Rex are the Charizard of Dinosaurs in fiction.
They might all be fossils, but these guys are the absolute oldest bros.
Be careful when it rains...

>>24626079
My bro has and still is been Kabutops.
All hail The Claw
He's been my favorite fossil since the start.
2nd: Cradily
3rd:Relicanth
>>24626140
This would have been sick. 3-stage fossils is completely unexplored territory.
My favorite fossil is Armaldo. He's got the right combination of goofy and scary as far as monsters go.
My rankings:
>Armaldo
>Cradily
>Rampardos
>Kabutops
>all the rest
Fucking love fossils.
What do people like about Cradily?
>>24628362
It looks mysterious and intriguing. Plus green is my favorite color.
Don't mind me. I'm just swimming along.
>>24626903
Cradily is overrated Tbh.
>>24628537
How? You never see people talking about it. Even in OR/AS, Armaldo is more popular.
>>24628379
It's the only fossil grass-type
I wish the tentacles didn't look like dicks though
>>24628541
Armaldo is the one you never see being talked about lol. Cradily is well-known for it's quirky design and it has a reputation as a stall-mon. Armaldo is a generic monstery-mon and a slow sweeper, which is the one combination that makes a mon useless in battle.
>>24626903
Archeop is
post fossils you picked
Dome>Root>Skull>Cover>Jaw
Old ambers need not apply
>implying anyone remembers it
>>24628579
my friend always gets bastiodon,We always picked the opposite ones accept gen 5
carracostas the best
>>24628590
forgot pic
Who /firstbird/ here?
I just realized there is absolutely no Aerodactyl love. He really is quite the mystery since he's such an out of place fossilmon being the only third in a usually pair of Pokemon.
Plus he got a megathat I'm not a big fan of honestly. "Add spikes to it, alright good enough"
ALL HAIL DOME FOSSIL
>>24628579
I actually love Bastiodon design wise, but there's pretty much no reason to use it. Shit in competitive and just not good in game where everything is faster and he'll be constantly taking hits with no recover other than stuffing his mouth with potions.
I wish Dinkywink and Dunkywunkr from Sage were actually official. Dunkleosteus needs to have a Pokemon designed after it.
Actually, what sort of prehistoric creatures would you like to see as Fossil Pokemon? I'd like it if there were more Cenozoic and Paleozoic themed Pokemon
>>24628617
Archeops is best fossilmon
Somehow I always come to think of Fossils for my team but then realize I can't because they only come in poke balls and all members of my team are in luxury balls.
It's tragic.
what do dinosaur dicks look like
>>24630398
They're probably very huge.
>>24630547
For you
>>24629987
I haven't played Sage so I actually had to look it up but some of those designs are fucking great goddamn.
What's its counterpart.
>>24629987
God I want an ankylosaurus so badRhyperior does not fucking count
>>24632746
Torterra is pretty damn close.
Okay, how do i assemble a prehistoric team? I don't care if it's shit for competitive, but i want one.
Currently:
>Tyrantrum
>Archeops
>Bastiodon
>Rampardos
>Omastar
>Cradily
Which other Pokémon should i consider?
Mamoswine, Torterra, Tangrowth, Yanmega, Relicanth?
>>24628694
Aero is the tits man, but I agree, the mega was less than favorable.
>>24634621
>Yanmega
Holy shit how did I never realize his designs origins before now. That's fucking brilliant.
I think Aerodactyl's mega looks fucking badass.
I am alone.
>>24634650
It's the same Pokemon with extra spikes. In the same poor mega design tier as Tyranitar
>>24634621
wait how can torterra be prehistoric? it's a starter. same with yanmega, tangrowth, all found commonly in the wild. I don't get how this works, what makes pokemon prehistoric?
>>24634675
Yeah...
>>24634621
Feraligatr (Crocodiles are prehistoric)
Sharpedo (so are Sharks)
Lapras (Plesiosaur)
>>24634687
I think Anon is talking more about appearance. Yanmega resembles the gigantic dragonfly that lived in prehistoric times and Torterra closely resembles a Ankylosaurus. Though I'm not sure what correlation to Prehistoric times Tangrowth symbolizes
>>24628617
Never used but he seems so bro tier.
Should I use or is he totally worthless cause of ability?
>>24627194
>>24627319
>>24626079
I love these pokemon, should I stick with them instead of trying Archeops? Or is that apples and oranges?
>>24626079
Dinosaurs are overrated.
>>24628571
Well Armaldo's definitely underrated considering you don't really know what it does.
I don't think Cradily has much reputation as a stall-mon but it does get a decent amount of love.
>>24634986
Good thing most fossilmons aren't dinosaurs then.
>>24634986
You are overrated
>>24634687
Same anon from >>24634621 Torterra sort of looks like an Ankylosaurus without a tail. Alternately, motherfucker resembles the Meiolania prehistoric turtle too.
>>24634712
I was going for the "evolves with ancientpower=prehistoric shit", though i'm thinking about going for Tropius, who actually looks like a prehistoric creature.
I could stretch it too much and probably add Scolipede as a stand-in for Arthropleura, aka the giant centipede from the paleozoic.
>>24634698
>Feraligatr (Crocodiles are prehistoric)
Funny stuff, Feraligatr actually resembles the Kaprosuchus.
Then i'm thinking about:
>Tyrantrum
>Feraligatr
>Yanmega
>Torterra
>Aerodactyl
>Mamoswine
>>24635622
>mfw I will never see Mega Tropius
I was hoping so bad that ORAS would give a much needed boost to one of my favorite Hoenn mons.
Just imagine a giant bushel of bananas resembling a majestic fucking Gandalf beard. Just imagine it Anon
>>24626079
I heard that if you dig deep enough you'll find out who you are. Luckily for me I struck oil so now I'm rich(er).
>>24628579
>Bro tier
This mon has won competitive games for me on many occasions.
>>24629987
Rock/Fire Dimetrodon based on the idea that they used their sales to regulate body temperature.
>1st stage
Pretty much looks like a regular dimetrodon. The sail on its back could have a pattern resembling the sun, kind of like Volcarona's wings
>2nd stage
Gets bigger, sail gets bigger, and it has two smaller sails made of flames along either side of the big sail. Possibly rears up on its hind legs to look like a pseudo-spinosaurus
>>24632046
garbage tier Indrolyth...
also a couple other 'artifact' mons that are a new mechanic.
>>24635622
>Feraligatr actually resembles the Kaprosuchus
Kaprosuchus wasn't a fatass, Feraligatr resembles Barney the dinosaur.
