XY What Cool New Pokémon / Evolution Do You Want to See in the 6th Generation?

RE: What cool new Pokemon do you want to see in the 6th generation?

We could probably argue that point out forever, but we are starting to get off topic. Let's just drop it.
If they do make dinosaur fossils again, I hope they make one as an ode to the velociraptor.

I'm pretty sure Dinossaurs came from (and are) reptiles but while some remained as reptiles, others started to evolve into feathered creatures which would be the beginning of birds...

Other fossil Pokémon I would like to see include:

- Entelodont (Rhino-sized Carnivorous relatives of modern day pigs) (Rock/Dark)

- Gorgonopsid (Sabertoothed reptillian relatives of early mammals) (Rock/Dark or Rock/Ground)

The Mantis shrimp as a Pokémon can be interesting as well. It could be a water/fire type because the shots released by the creature can generate temperatures of up to several thousand kelvin within the collapsing bubble that forms when it tries to kill or stun a prey animal.

The reason I don't see Psyduck and Golduck as Platypus based pokémon is because I thought they were more based on the Kappa from Japanese mythology

Ooh, an Enteledont would be a nice fossil to have.
I'm hoping that they maybe have another fossil plant (similar to Cradily), but no idea what it could be.
Also, I want fossils that are similar to modern-day Pokes, and have them actually make the connection, e.g. have a Basilosaurus and mention in a museum that Wailord evolved over time from Basilosaurus.

Given that the game is based in Europe, maybe European dinosaurs? Some that stick out in my head are: Balaur (a swimming dinosaur similar to raptors), Pyroraptor (a small theropod), and Iguanadon.

Also, as another food-based Pokemon, some kind of croissant Pokemon (a pastry made in France).

have a Basilosaurus and mention in a museum that Wailord evolved over time from Basilosaurus.

That'd get too confusing if they specifically use the world "evolve", because then people will be leveling up their Basilosaurus Pokemon trying to get a Wailord.

I want another aquatic dinosaur, turtles doesn't count because it still exists. For example, Icthyosaur or Coelcanth (Not sure if any pokemon based on Coelcanth, I can't remember every single pokemon)

^How did you forget poor little Relicanth? ;;;;
Just as the real thing is still alive, Relicanth is even a rock/water that you could catch wild instead of getting from a fossil.

Would love an Icthyosaur for sure; and a mosasaur!

I'm hoping that they maybe have another fossil plant (similar to Cradily), but no idea what it could be

Cradily isn't even really plant based, but a "sea lily," which is an animal related to starfish, so technically we have no prehistoric plant pokemon

The Mantis shrimp as a Pokémon can be interesting as well. It could be a water/fire type because the shots released by the creature can generate temperatures of up to several thousand kelvin within the collapsing bubble that forms when it tries to kill or stun a prey animal.

What I'd really like to see them incorporate is how there are both "smasher" and "spearer" mantis shrimp. As pokemon, you'd probably have one more defensive and the other more fast, or one physical and one special oriented.

Dinosaurs are reptiles (read: "Terrible Lizard").
Birds are birds.
Your argument is invalid!

We could probably argue that point out forever, but we are starting to get off topic. Let's just drop it.

Sorry, I really do have to pedal back to this and clarify, it matters to me!

It isn't really a point up for argument anymore; it's conclusive in the scientific world that modern birds are dinosaurs. Not a related group, not the descendants of dinosaurs, but still bona-fide dinosaurs. They are living dinosaurs.

A distinction is made between "avian" and "non avian" dinosaurs, but "avian dinosaurs" includes all modern birds and theropods like Velociraptor. When "raptors" were alive, we now know they generally looked like this:

Not only have we found fossils with all the feathers intact, but molecular analysis can now tell us what color those feathers were. Several had enough feathers to give them "wings" on both their front and back limbs, which were likely more for gliding and leaping than flying.

Dinosaurs and birds, however, are ALSO reptiles. Just as different apes form the "primates" and primates are one subgroup of mammals, dinosaurs and today's birds form one group within the reptiles.

Oh wow, I totally forgot about Relicanth. Poor little guy. I wonder what kind of fish is he/she based on..

Edit; Oh wait, he's based on Coelcanth? Sorry, was multi-tasking.

RE: What cool new Pokemon do you want to see in the 6th generation?

I always thought the presentations of dinosaurs ala jurassic park were so lame and uncreative in assuming they all looked soooooo booooooooooring, whereas they might as well have been pink with blue afros or something.

Feathered raptors ftw ;D

 

[Bolt the Cat]

RE: What cool new Pokemon do you want to see in the 6th generation?

Would love an Icthyosaur for sure

You mean like this guy from Half Life?

That'd be awesome, I'd totally use something like that.

RE: What cool new Pokemon do you want to see in the 6th generation?

Bogleech, there is a lot more than 'if scientists say that it's like that, than it is.' You guys are just murky on what they refer to it as; a 'link' between dinosaurs and birds. They are still testing it out. Not to mention the last portion of your post makes no sense.
And Coelcanth is still around today.
EDIT: Also, raptors today have yet to be proven to descend from either the non-feathered 6 foot Velociraptor, the 3 foot Microraptor, or the 'thief of Utah' aka your feathered Utahraptor.

RE: What cool new Pokemon do you want to see in the 6th generation?

No, like real icthyosaurs:

They were reptiles, but evolved heavily to the water, taking on a whale-like shape.

Half Life borrowed the name because it literally means "fish lizard."

Then I have the book for you! It's by a friend of mine, and I reviewed it on my site here, with some pictures:

http://bogleech.com/allyesterdays.html

It's about how ALL dinosaurs could have looked differently than how we picture, because a lot of characteristics simply don't show in fossils. Heck, fossils and even whole corpses don't show how *fat* an animal originally was, so a lot of dinosaurs could have been big bulbous things like whales and we might never find out

I know it's hard to accept, given how long "raptors" have been portrayed as scaly lizard-like monsters, but...none of them were featherless. Also, what doesn't make sense about the last part?

Dinosaurs and birds are part of one group, and that group is a variety of reptile.

RE: What cool new Pokemon do you want to see in the 6th generation?

Before I get into this way too much, the last part in your last post didn't make sense because I didn't read it correctly. I must've been distracted or something.
I was going to edit in that my info was skewed (i.e. Micro is 2 feet, Veloci is 3 feet), but now I see your logic, and...
Seriously?
Dinosaurs and birds are reptiles. Okay. Show me a flying turtle, snake, lizard, and/or alligator/crocodile, and I may be skeptical about that logic. Are you telling me that dinosaurs like Titanosaurus, or Gigantosaurus, are now birds? How the hell do you take something too big to have a chance at adapting to a changing enviroment so that they will have some sort of descendant, and say yep that's a bird now derp? *Screams and blows up a semi truck*
Your theory is disproved by many things; Dinosaur evolution and temperature regulation are the big ones. Guanlong, a 9 ft tall raptor-like bipedal carnivorous dinosaur found around Manchuria, is an ancestor to the North American giant and famed dinosaur: Tyrannosaurus, which is roughly five times bigger than its chinese ancestor. Guanlong was not feathered, btw.
The next one alone goes to show not all dinosaurs are ancestors of birds. Spinosaurus. A giant sail on its back helped regulate heat. No need for feathers, and thus, didn't have any. Lived in NW Africa. Allosaurus. Once thought to have feathers; turns out, it never did. Shall I continue, or are you getting the point?


Anyway, now that I got that out of my system, I think they should have, as the evil/menace legendary, the entity seen towards the end of Skrillex's Equinox music video. They could make it a dark/ghost or a dark/psychic. Either way, I'd kill to get it.

>_> it is scientific that dinosaurs could have become some of our birds today, it's weird but I guess they found out some dinosaurs had feathers and then though "huh....I wonder" and then found out that they do have some links (birds are scaly, they are reptilian in that they lay eggs)

I wouldn't mind more dinosaurs. They have never really ventured too far into that. Also more fire types....please

I can't believe no one has mentioned a Therizinosaurus. That would be wicked as a fossil Pokemon. :-D

No, like real icthyosaurs:

Half Life Icthyosaurs look cooler.

I like the real one better. The fake one looks so creepy.

I can't believe you guys don't like the Half Life one. At least the Half Life one looks threatening, the real one looks like some sort of derpy hybrid of a swordfish and a dolphin.
