Went back to quickly respond to certain posts wanted to respond to:
And it's got markings on its body like the ones to show distance to 'mons in PoGo.
... Just what is its prey? Humans?
I think a better question is what isn't its prey.
Coalossal is... wow. What a disappointment. You had the PERFECT chance to do a rock train, and you messed it up. I doubt there will ever be a chance to do something that hardcore ever again.
Not only that, it lost it's unique face (a single burning eye) to look like a copy of Golem's head. I have no problem with the coal cart design if it kept its head simple like its first evo (or at the very least made it a more logical progression like it just has two big burning eyes). However they fully blew the design with making the final evo looking like Tyranitar/Aggron. Why? Basic stage was a piece of coal rolling around on a single wheel and middle stage was a mine cart, where did it becoming a bipedal dinosaur come from? It should have either become a train or tank (or a railway gun).
I can totally picture each starter having a signature move, and Cinderace's will be a fire soccer ball
Rillaboom would be
DK's original Final Smash.
Intelleon would be
the James Bond opening scene.
Cinderace is
gonna be like Mario in Mario Strikers Charged.
Unless its a mystery dungeon esque series about a young bunny on a quest to save the world and ends somehow with him kicking a god or demon lord in the face with the power of FRIENDSHIP, it doesnt count
Well next season looks like it will be more of a world hopping series so each episode would probably just skip to Ash & Go arriving to the location of interest to get right to their task.
And whose to say Go's Cinderace won't eventually do that? Look, Goku didn't start out able to turn Super Saiyan and delivering death blows to the big bads. No, he started off as a kid that Bulma found in the middle of the woods guarding the Dragon Ball not even knowing what it was except it was his grandpa's cherished object. Once recruited by Bulma he then went through all the trials and tribulations that would eventually make him Earth's (and Universe 7's) savior. Go's Scorbunny may not look impressive at the start (cause it's not supposed to, it's just starting out), but when we get to the final climax where the "evil Legendary" is about to launch it's final attack and everyone else is down and out that's when Go & Cinderace will unlock their eleventh hour superpower: forming the EVERYONE'S BURNING HOPE & DREAMS BALL STRIKER and kicking it right into & through the Evil Legendary's face!
I was thinking there'd be two species of fossils and by combining a different top and bottom you could create hybrids.
That what I was originally thinking but rereading the text it more sounds like you just get two fossil Pokemon when you're able to combine a bottom with a top. Even the character explaining this doesn't know why it works like that (grade A world building there GF; "don't know why, it just works"). Though fossil fusion would be an interesting idea.
Looking at Corviknight's pre-evolutions, Rookidee and Corvisquire, I really like that they opted to make them pure Flying-type this time around instead of the conventional Normal / Flying that most regional birds have. Even Fletchling was Normal / Flying despite its evolutions being Fire / Flying, and most Flying-types are dual-types with it being paired with another type (barring well, Tornadus). It's very rare for any Pokemon to be pure Flying type, and I like that Rookidee and Corvisquire are going that route this time around, especially since from an in game standpoint it gives them a better edge against Fighting types than usual (well not so much for Corviknight).
I personally think the pure Flying is a mistake/incomplete information and it'll be Flying/Normal as why would they change it now? Unless they're going to go back and make other Flying/Normal into pure Flying which I wouldn't be against, though which ones?
I can see them making the following pure Flying: Pidgey family, Spearow family, Hoothoot family, Taillow family, Swablu, Starly family, Pidove family, Rufflet family, Fletchling, & Pikipek family.
Though I would keep some Normal/Flying like Doduo family (since they're roadrunner than flyers, though honestly would see them become Ground/Flying), Farfetch'd (because it's not as good at flying), and Chatot (because sound-based moves are Normal-type). Actually I would just change the primary typing for a lot of them like make Spearow family part Dark-type, Hoothoot family part Psychic, Staraptor and Rufflet family to Fighting-type, and Fletchling to Fire-type.
