Fossil evolutions are out!

...I'm gonna be singing that T Rex song from Nostalgia Critic's review of Jurassic Park whenever it's used arnt I? XD

[quack98]

I think I have fallen in love with the T-Rex...

Now for a good nickname...

[Wolstenholme]

Aurorus is fantastic. It's on my team no matter what.

[Liam]

The ice one's evo looks cool. The little one still looks pretty naff in my opinion, though.

[Alpha Fenrir]

DINOSAURS!!!!

...Ahem, sorry about that... Anyway, these two fossil Pokemon will definitely be on my team. These are hands down my favourite Pokemon revealed so far this gen (except MegaAbsol, but the Megas don't really count as new Pokemon in my eyes).

We've got an Amargasaurus-inspired sauropod, which looks amazingly elegant. There's some pretty clever naming here- "Amarga" means bitter in Spanish, and bitter can have the meaning of very cold, referencing this Pokemon's type. "aura" could be being used to reference mystery - nobody has produced convincing evidence for a particular use of the sail-like skin structures that are thought to have been stretched across Amargasaurus's back. Awesome typing.

And, as I expected (I'm amazed they held off for so long) a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Credit where it's due, it is closest to the Tyrannosaurus Rex in characteristics out of the Tyrannisauridae family - although I won't detail why, this is a Pokemon forum, not a paleontology one! I do like it, although it's name lacks imagination.

And the other new reveals. Frogadier and Braixen show some serious potential. I suspect that the latter will have male and female forms. Female Pyroar I like, male not so much. Meowstick I can take or leave. Quilladin has one more chance to impress me, otherwise it can go roll down a hill. Furfrou is quite interesting, although predictable. I'll see what other styles are revealed before seeing about using one.

^With Furfrou, I'm hoping you can make it have a mohawk and dye its hair green and orange. Not sure why I would want a mohawk on it since that is a bit odd but I do. I like Quilladin's name and I have always liked Mud Shot since it was first introduced but its body shape bothers me and I am freaked out over that creepy face it has. It just is so creepy the way it stares at you. Sort of like the Billy dummy from the SAW movies stare at the "players" of the "games" either in person or from the TV screen does before the horrible deaths that usually end up happening.

Perhaps it'll be like the Trainer customization with outfits like the main Pokemon website has in the Trainer Builder section.

If you can buy clothes for the trainer to customise, does it mean that you can buy swimsuits too?

Anyway, nice to see that Game Freak gone with Cretaceous period with fossil Pokémon and release a T-Rex Pokémon for X and Y. Also did they made a trilobite Pokémon before?

...Have you been playing Dragon Quest, by any chance?

I think that was Kabuto. not entirely certain, though.

Yeah, I did. I played it before. I think Game Freak took a leaf from Square Enix when making Pokémon X and Y with the customisation.

[Cody999]

I only want a Tuxedo for my trainer, then I'll be happy.

[Reluctant Wailord]

Oh good lord, it's going to be like TF2 all over again.

[SpinnelSun]

in love with the rock/ice dino !! ah im so happy with the design

[JSM]

^THIS so much!

Also, guys, is anyone else finding it hard to follow/discuss in this topic. I just think things would be more organised for discussion if we had separate topics for announcements and left this topic for SPECULATION. Just an opinion of mine that has been floating around.

Unfortunately ever since we get a steady stream of news, this is becoming more of an announcement one. But I'll speculate something here:

I guess that instead of just getting one of the two or so fossils like you do in the previous Pokémon games, you have a chance to take all of the fossils.
