What if Scarlet and Violet had FOSSIL POKEMON!? 🦖🦴🦎 Gnoggin

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are based in the Paldea region, and they are coming out later this year! I wanted to see what ideas we could come up with for what the fossil Pokemon might be this generation... IF ANY! We narrowed down our ideas to the two best of them, and so here they are! You can call them Pokemon Scarlet and Violet predictions if you want, but we're really just having fun with the theme. :)

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

10:18 They also kind of invert the generation's theme of past vs future in an interesting way. The sleek, metallic, more intelligent looking one is a sword fighter. Where as the more technically advanced one looks more like a brutish beast.

Kyarrbon is actually quite similar to Turtenator. If Kyarrbon were canon, it would most definitely be Turtenator’s ancestor

[ZekromAndYugiAndDrago]

For Kyarrbon and Barrel Blast, I'm imagining it having a new ability where it takes half damage from all 'explosive moves' (Self Destruct, Explosion, Misty Explosion, etc) and as for Barrel Blast, maybe the first time you use it, it acts like Boomburst where it attacks everyone on the field, but also damages Kyarrbon for 1/4th of it's max HP (losing your tail hurts), then it goes into its "No Tail Form" and Barrel Blast becomes a move like Bullet Seed where it's a multi-hit attack. Maybe have the first version be Physical and the second be Special.

I would love it if Game Freak did a "Journey to the Center of the Earth" region full of classic and new fossil pokemon. Exploring a region lost to time would be dope.

[Volcanron]

A cool thing they could do for Scarlet is basically "de-rock" the fossils, aka show them to us in their original appearances before the reviving machine altered them… but we all know they're chicken and would never do that.

I couldn't tell if I missed a news drop or if these designs on the thumbnail were yours, you and the artists always to a great job!

[QuizMasterEntertainment]

For reference sake, the Spanish word for a rapier is an "Estoque" with "Estocada" being the word for the traditional frontal stab.

As for the "Furia" attack, I think that could fit really well, specially now they are fixing the competitive item and there's a specific item called "Loaded dice" from the last trailer at this point which augments the chances of attacks to hit multiple times

[rayyaninspookymonth]

Gnoggin: "why is this Pokémon even X type? It only learns Y type moves!"
Also: "it should be rock fire type but should learn a lot of steel moves"

[jaxbredy]

Alright, the real question is when will Pokemon finally hire this dude?

[jennifergriel]

Man you’re going really far with these predictions, actually doing art of them.

Something tells me Lockstin and the crew came up with these fossil 'mons because somehow they already _knew_ Scarlet and Violet didn't have any.

[DracoRampNyx]

Honestly I really like the Ankylo one, the Ornithimisus one however should probably be dark and rock

[dimi]

The stegosaurus has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a child and my most wishlisted pokemon concept
When I was a child my dad had surprised me with a box of five dinosaur toys
The stegosaurus was my favorite of the toys in that box and I still have it in my room next to my computer

[joshuaconceicao]

These are really good I heard a leak saying that there would be no fossil Pokémon at all in this game I hope that is not true fossils are really cool and having none not even previous ones should be a shame

[Brydav_Massbear]

I think Kyarrbon should have a new signature ability called Carbonize. The way this ability works is that after the user uses Barrel Blast, they can return to the trainer and when healed in the player inventory and sent back out again, their hammer tail will be restored. This ability is kind of like Zero to Hero in a way but requires a little more action to it.

[Jormyyy]

Kyarrbon now takes the cake as my all time favorite Lockémon. Like, ever. Of all time. Ankylosaurus is already my favorite dinosaur and one of my favorite animals in general, so to see it represented so well here while also adding that fun Pokémon twist (as to not just make a cartoon version of the animal), is absolutely astounding. I love Kyarrbon very much and oh so wish it was a real mon! ANK GO BOOM!!

[carafurry]

I think they need an adorable prevo, no fossil pokemon feels complete without an adorable baby prevo.

[roboraptor]

These designs are incredible. I want them to be official so badly.

[AbsolXGuardian]

These are really cool ideas, I especially like how the two fossil mon compliment eachother.
I personally really want an auroch fossil mon, which yes I know isn't a prehistoric animal, but it's an extinct one whose range included Spain. It could be the ancestor to Tauros and the inevitable bull fighter bull Pokemon.

[jakabshaw]

both of the fossil mons have a similar theme to armarouge and ceraludge with ceraludge beaing sneaky and dishonarable like the raptor, and armouroge being explosive just like the ankliorsaurus one
