You're surely thinking of something else. IIRC the only actual gameplay display Mimikyu has gotten was at gamescom's Battle Royale footage and all it did was spam Shadow Sneak. You're probably mistaking it for Pikachu or Togedemaru, both of which were the only ones to use electric type moves in that battle.
The question at hand was, if the trainers are seen in battle now, then where will they be when conditions are unfavorable, such as while surfing. After all, they wouldn't just randomly disappear, right?
Not that I don't agree with you. But if they did decide to make a poison terrain it would only probably fit on that new poisonous salamander. Volcanos and deep sea volcanic ridges are where some of the most toxic things are naturally found in nature
That's like complaining that Tyrantrum only has Bite and Crunch. With breeding, Pangoro had access to Drain Punch, Fire Punch, Focus Punch, Ice Punch, Power Up Punch, Sky Uppercut, and Thunder Punch as well as Comet Punch and Hammer Arm.
A gnat evolves into a moth. A sloth evolves into a gorilla. A robin evolves into a falcon. A candle evolves into a chandelier. A set of 6 eggs evolve into a tree with 4 face-shaped fruits. A clam evolves into two different deep sea fish. A loach evolves into a catfish. The Pokedex is full of evolutions that are only incidentally related or just wacky at first glance. A bee fly could definitely evolve into a butterfly, moth, or other bug.
Not saying I don't agree with your overall point, but in contrast to it's name Exeggcute is actually a bunch of seeds.
Jimenju fruit specifically, but yes. The point though is that they appear as eggs (even having a visible yolk in the cracked open head) and are called eggs, and then suddenly make a tree. Even if you realize that the heads are seeds/fruit, the whole thing still seems wacky unless you know about jimenju trees.
But seeds, in a sense, are the plant equivalent of eggs...
Sucker Punch isn't a punching move, and doesn't get boosted by Iron Fist, because it's Japanese name is Ambush, which is why stuff like Electrode got it via move tutor(ironically Hitmonlee and Hitmontop could learn it via move tutor, but not Hitmonchan).
Yeah they revealed Tyrunt and Amaura before XY's release, I remember as the internet went crazy we're finally getting a T-rex Pokemon.
Well many Pokemon are based on one species and then evolve into something based on another. The point is to at least keep the design consistent. A hummingbird moth would look like a natural progression of Cutiefly's design. Not necessarily related to bee flies, but looks wise they're not too far removed. Also a "bigger, fuzzier version of itself" would literally look like any number of big fuzzy moth species.
The same way Chimecho was a single stage Pokemon that ended up getting a baby preevo. The same way Bellossom is a foot shorter and a few pounds lighter than Gloom. The same way Shaymin and Klefki are in the same size bracket (a measly 4 inches bigger than Cutiefly). It wouldn't be that far out.
Wouldn't be to sure on any fossil being based on an animal from Hawaii really. No fossil pokemon has ever been from the region the game was based on.
Well cradily wasn't exactly based off a dinosaur, so fossil Pokemon have relatively loose parameters. And although I doubt we'll get a megladon or mosasaurus, I think they'd both be awesome. I feel as though we lack a true shark Pokemon. We have a land shark and a half shark, but not a full one.
I believe we've actually seen this already? You fight on a piece of land that's covered lightly with water.
I didn't say Cradily was a dinosaur, it is certainly a fossil as it is an extinct Crinoid. The only Dino fossils started from gen 4, and gen 5 only had a single dinosaur fossil.
An icthyosaur and a stegosaurus is a combination that would work well. There are currently no similar concepts; make the icthyosaur water/rock and the stegosaur grass/rock (the flattened spines could be leaves to capture sunlight to use grass moves, etc.) and you have two critters that could blend in well-enough (lots of water and grass types on a tropical island).
I would love a Stegosaurus. The "new" look for it with the huge back legs and rigid tail make it look stunning. The tail can easily be done like a thorny plant stem.
We have already 3 Rock/Water fossil pokemon and a Rock/Grass one. I think the fossil pokemon are a great way to explore less plausible typings as we got our Rock/Dragon and Rock/Ice types from Gen 6.
Not sure how a Rock/Ghost fossil would work, dam thing WAS dead but isn't now :P.
I'm quitting the game if we get a rock/normal type.
Oh, c'mon. An extinct mammalian, maybe an ape or humanoid Pokémon would be nice!
