So when we get a raptor Pokemon, you think it'll be based on the scientifically accurate bird-like design, or the Jurassic Park one?
jurassic park definitely

Can't wait to see the butthurt sciencefags after it's revealed.
>>26167552
It would be cool if we do get a raptor pokemon, and it's actually a fossil duo representing exaggerated views of the feathers/ no feathers debate.
The modern one is a shadowy ball of feathers with only eyes, jaws, legs, and tail poking out. Revived from the Downy Fossil
The archaic one is a thin, reptilian creature with large red eyes and a forked tongue. A small row of raised scales go down its back.
Revived from the Scale Fossil.

>the feathers/ no feathers debate
what debate? they had feathers. it's factual.
you can argue that the world is flat but that's not a debate, it's an embarrassment.
>>26167761
Okay, more Pop Culture vs Scientific Accuracy
Tyrantrum is based on the classic T-Rex look. A raptor pokemon will likely look like the classic one as well
>>26167586
why does it always have to come down to this?
can't we all just be happy?
>>26167793
Tyrantrum has feathers.
>>26170267
No it doesn't, that's a collar.
We already did.
>>26170328
These guys are based off of leaf tailed geckos.
>>26170297
...made out of downy feathers.
>>26167578
This.
It's an archaeopteryx, a flying dinosaur similar to microraptor. Essentially the same thing.
>>26170334
Sure, Treecko yes. Grovyle maybe. But Charmander is a lizard that evolves into a dragon. Cyndaquil is a mouse that evolves into a badger. Treecko is a gecko that evolves into a raptor.
>>26170342
Averaptora and Dromaeosauridae are totally separate and only share common ancestors.
>>26170341
Are you retarded?
>>26170344
Cyndaquil is an echidna. The fire are its spines.
Grovyle = grove/reptile.
Dinosaurs are not reptiles. If they wanted a velociraptor the creators would have it as a fossil pokemon, obviously.
>>26170328
I don't understand how Sceptile is the least popular Hoenn starter when it's a fucking dinosaur. Do people really hate Grass types that much?
>>26170349
This is true, but in terms of Pokemon- it's a flying dromeosaur-like reptile. It's the closest we'll get AND it's rad. I don't see why people need a "raptor" more than this.
>>26170350
Are you? What do you think it and its beard is made out of, hair? It's quite clearly meant to evoke the feathered look that actual T-Rexes likely possessed.
>>26170328
Not a dinosaur
>>26167552
rock+lighting
>>26170353
>dinosaurs are not reptiles
since when? last I checked, even the ones that were pretty much almost birds were still classified as reptiles.
>>26170353
>Cyndaquil is an echidna.
Wrong, if anything its a Tenrec. But the Japanese name and species both clearly call it a mouse. It's either one of these, but NOT an echidna.
>Dinosaurs are not reptiles
>Evolved from reptiles
>Birds evolved from a single Clade of Dinosaur
>>26170389
This is also fair; but it's definately not a mouse. Niggers be retarded if they're thinking something with QUILL in its name is a mouse.
>>26170389
technically according to the phylogenetic system mammals are also reptiles; since our common ancestry with things like dimetrodon.
Quit being retarded. There's a difference between pterodactyl and t-rex; because one is a flying reptile and one is a dinosaur.
>>26170389
>looks up tenrec
>jesus fuck how cute
I never knew about this thing. hell, it's even got spines resembling Typhlosion's mane. Madagascar is really something else.
>>26170334
>>26170367
>>26170409
grass type
has leaves
Is also a leaf tailed gecko

>Lacks the most distinctive feature of the velociraptor.
>>26167578
ALAN
>>26170389
Actually, the japanese name inplies its a rodent; as well as a ton of other Pokemon; NOT a mouse. This ones a common misconception. Other anon is right, it's probably an echidna or your suggestion or a tenrec.
>>26170387
They're considered their own thing since they're archosaurs AFAIK
the warm blooded ones wouldn't be considered reptiles anyways
>>26170363

KEK the non-science tards in this thread hoping everything is a dinosaur
>tyrannitar is a trex
>charmeleon is a raptor
>rhydon is a rhinosaurus
>heliolisk is a science-fiction dilophosaurus
>grumpig is a tri-pigosaurus
Therizinosaurus when? This thing looks weird as shit and lately I've noticed it becoming more of a mainstream dino. Give it Tough Claws and, I dunno, play into the unexpected-herbivore thing.
>>26170475
>>26170491
fuck yeah pre evo would be segnosaurus
>>26170475
scientific evidence suggests that there was a high chance it did have feathers, or at least only at a young age. How do you people not know this? This is common knowledge
>>26170328
not a dinosaur pokemon but
>Grass type
>head-crest
>thinking its a raptor and not a Dilophosaur
Velociraptor and Protoceratops fossil duo when?
I like the idea of it being mostly based on a stereotypical JW-esque raptor with some feathers put in.
I don't mind if it has feathers or not. It's Pokemon, not real life, so not everything has to be based on real life things. A cool idea would be to have a split-evo with the other one having the feathers and the other without them.
>>26170373
Or rock+dark, due to the somewhat vicious nature and movements of them.
>>26170615
>calling sceptile a dilophosaurus
Fuck off
No. I'm not implying they had frills.
It's called fantasy. To the casual they know this dinosaur from Jurassic park.
Science fags can fuck off. I want cool looking dino mons, not giant chickens. Arecheops took the bullet for us Dino fags and for that I thank him.
>>26174345
Hey look, it's that low IQ retard who made that thread before.
>muh epic giant lizards! XD
>muh jurassic park nostalgia
>>26174400
Yea? And business sense to market a product to a target audience.
Are you fucking retarded?
>>26174447
Found the mouth breather who defends Charizard X.
>>26174467
I prefer charizard Y.
You fucking faggots think I'm denying feathered dinosaurs. I'm not.
I just prefer classic reptile JP look.
The one that pokemon has been going with for years. And I hope it remains that way.
Love that you retards get worked up over nothing. Bring on the JP raptors. Can't wait.
Dumping glorious non feathered fossil fakemons.
>>26174541
>go back to gen 1
How exactly does one do that?
>>26174545
>glorious
Looks like shit.
>>26174565
>opinion
Stated as fact
I hope we get a mammal and invertebrate so all the scalies and nostalgiafags get BTFO to oblivion. Or maybe a caveman and primitive tools duo so all the people who hate humanoids or objectmons also get BTFO.
>>26174585
>I hope they make shitmons i won't use to piss off others who won't use them.
Do you hear yourself anon?
>>26174579
Kek. So are you saying we need to precede all of our posts with "In my opinion" so we don't hurt feelings?
>>26174614
Sure? Why not.
Don't really care what you do anon.
>>26174607
>shitmons i won't use to piss
Where did I say that? How do non-reptillian designs automatically make them shitmons? Do you hear yourself?
>>26174605
Version that's not for ants
>>26174618
OK, so you're a Redditor. Now this all makes sense.
>>26174619
How do they NOT make the auto shitmons?
Do you hear yourself?
>>26174585
A sabertooth tiger could be pretty damn cool
>>26174632
Found the scaly. Go jack off to a big bellied Heliolisk, class traitor scum.
>>26174643
Aw, he can't even use maymay arrows. How cute.
>>26174645
I don't even like heliolisk.
Why does this board project itself all the time.
Different opinion:
back to le red dit
go fuck *name here*
you're wrong becuase I said so
Worse than o.w.l posters
inb4 denialfag
I'm better than that, I don't participate in the cancer in these boards. Just like to observe from afar.
>>26174643
Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it.
>>26174653
No, board kept thinking it was spam.
>>26170505
Puffy chicken rex is the coolest
Will never understand people who hate the fact that dinos had feathers. Giant majestic feathered dinosaurs are such a cooler image than the jurassic park ones.
>>26167752
I actually like this
>>26167552
Before this thread turned into cancer.
I think it'll be JP based. Just off recognition alone.
As you can tell with the comments, feather posters are pretty angry. Nintendo probably doesn't want to cater to them. They are the minority anyways.
