Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Coricus]

y'know what would make a cool pokemon?

El Chupacabra! Bug/Dark!! or just Dark...doesn't matter more cryptids!!!

Bunyip (Water/Dark)
Ningen (Water/Normal)
Mongolian Death Worm (Bug/Dark)
Mkele Mbembe (Rock)
Jackalope (Normal/Ice)
Wendigo (Dark/Ice)
Kraken (Water/Dark)

I have no objection to more Water/Dark types...

We need to dig deeper!

Someone dig up some sites full of non-mainstream mythologies!

. . .I'm serious, too. I need more resources to have fun imagining!

 

[Schnee117]

Well...we do have Sceptile and Garchomp with their raptor like designs...

would still love a Raptor fossil myself, had an idea once that we get a Raptor fossil with a Protoceratops Pokemon...as there was one famous fossil depicting the two fighting, so it could be a neat fossil pokemon rivalry...

Another theme to tackle is the Genetic Engineering vs Natural stuff.
Raptors are definitely more famous due to Jurassic Park and in terms of video games Riptor is similar in being altered.
Protoceratops could remain completely natural without any modification at all.
Just to give something more to the rivalry really.

 

[Aetheri]

Would be cool to see more living fossils like Relicanth...

Mkele Mbembe is one possibility I can think of since it's a Cryptid that resembles a Dinosaur in Central Africa....perhaps an 'actual' Mammoth (one that actually has a trunk) could be another...they'd have to have the Rock typing to make them 'fossils'...

 

[Burruni]

yeah, a futakuchi-onna
klefki's one of the closest pokemon to actual tsukumogami too so i guess that counts
carbink and diancie could be based on carbuncles too

oh yeah whimsicott is probably based on the vegetable lamb of tartary

I knew Whimsicott was made after some weird mythos I've never heard of before gen 5.
I just forgot what it was.

Edit: For Fossilmon... I want my Triceratops and Anklyosaur.

 

[Coricus]

All these raptors are 3tame5me. I can offer better.

Now THIS would be a fun Fossil Pokémon.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

If they ever make a raptor Pokémon, we need a trainer who looks like Chris Pratt with a team of all raptor Pokémon.

 

[Khoru]

quetzalcoatlus pls tpc

this thing FLEW

 

[NintenZ]

Want to know who my biggest pipe dream for Smash Bros is?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

These guys...

Bastiodon is probably the closest we'll get to a Triceratops...

I'll see your Therizonosaur and raise you one Dimetrodon!

Gym Leader.
Alternatively he could have Raccoon and Tree based Pokemon.

How about both

Those would make a good duo

Only other Dino I really want is stegosaurus

Dragon and Rock

Dragon Tamer Chris would like to battle!

Dragon Tamer Chris sends out Prator! Yes this would be it's name.

EDIT:

Why is this a thing lmao:

 

[Kirby Dragons]

So Nickelodeon Animation held a Super Smash Bros. tournament a couple weeks ago.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Burruni]

Dragon and Rock

Dragon and Rock fossil pokemon with ties to Jurassic park?

 

[Schnee117]

A Dilophosaurus Pokemon would be pretty cool too thinking about it.
Poison/Rock type.

Oh god it's them again, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go hide in my cardboard box to avoid anything to do with them...

of course his trainer sprite has to have him slightly crouched with his arms straight out to the side...

*see's pokemon discussion*

Uh... I love me some Pokemayns. Right guys ? Right...

Spoiler

*runs away safely*

The same guy who had a credible leak say Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 15 is coming to the NX.

Now, if this rumor is true, that's extremely interesting then. If FFXV is a launch title for the NX alongside the rumored Smash Launch Title and possibly 3D Mario, then the system might fare well at launch.

It's almost as if they are taking a page out of Sega's book for what they did when the Dreamcast launched.

Also FFVII coming to a Nintendo platform for the first time would be historic in my opinion, although we'll have to see how this rumor goes.

 

[Z25]

Yes it does! And I actually found this cool fanart:

 

[wildvine47]

So I have no clue where this came from, but that same pokemon list is back again. This time in Chinese! And it lists the mons by order and location in Kalos:

From the Pokecommunity. I really have no clue what to make of this. I'll remain neutral for now.

The pic isn't loading on my end and I think you have to have a Pokecommunity account for it. Can anyone re-host it somewhere else?

The release of both FFVII Remake and XV would be historic...XV would be the first new main series Final Fantasy to be released on a Nintendo system since VI...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Most fossil pokemon are from the same era as each other

So, if it's a dimetrodon, itd likely have a counterpart from the Permian period

 

[Burruni]

I just thought of something.

Ghost/Rock or /Ground.

How do we NOT have a SPHINX pokemon yet?
(Inb4 Shinx)

Edit: Y'know, starting as like a persian cat, to mummified cat, to then just pharaoh-like full sphinx.

 

[Aetheri]

How about this one then?

Spoiler

Diplocaulus is a pretty sweet idea for a pokemon...or a Lystrosaurus or something

I'm going to go ahead and toss Pterodaustro onto the pile.

Filter-feeding pterosaur.

So I was playing good ol' JSR
And I happened to find this random little fellow amongst my travels

I'm not sure what this arrow is doing, floating in the middle of nowhere, but it doesn't hold significance to the mission I was in despite being the Important Color of the Day (Infact it didn't show up on the map's radar at all)
But it's there.
Just sorta being special.

...What does it mean

[Strider_Bond00J]

I can confirm that Warframe is 'Cyborg Ninjas and Guns - The Game.' Pretty cool and fun to play,

As for Pokemon concepts, I'm going to suggest the Bunyip from the Dreamtime stories. Water/Dark or Water/Grass to fit the nature of the billabong. Not sure on fossils, but maybe instead of it being a true Rock restoration, maybe something related to extinct megafauna and megaflora? Just some thoughts and stuff...

 

[Aetheri]

or even better...

Spoiler

just look at that face!

That may be correct. i'll fix it!

Also it seems to just show the new mons, hiding Zygarde and others.

If real, Perhaps southern Kalos is treated as a new region?

If this is real...
I feel Z taking the B2W2 route.
Where we will get a bit of BOTH Northern and Southern Kalos (as far north as Lumiose city, but earthquakes from zygarde or the like causing landslides and blocking off any entrances further north) and locking a significant amount of the old routes until post-game.

That would actually be neat. What if thee game opened with news of nature disasters region wide? Thus the player is chosen by Sycamore to help out after he sees potential in them like Callum/Serena in XY?

True, it's seems to be oddly translated. From what I read on the pokecommunity, it was sent to the person there through skype. So it may have been a poorly attempted fake.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

tfw when a group of punks think they can trick my bf into giving up his cellphone on the train this evening.

At least one of them won't be feeling his jewels in the morning after what I did to them. This is why he arguably needs me as his protection.

 

[NintenZ]

So do any of you think Dr. Luigi works as an alt for Luigi?

 

[Z25]

Maybe, but like Dr. Mario they appear the same, so he'd probably be made a clone.
