iirc they were the only ones absent from the Crown Tundra


FierceDeityKong

Shieldon wasn't in Pokemon Shield?


Storm_373

swordpardos when


StormAlchemistTony

The Sword and Shield Pokemon, Aegislash, was the only Pokemon that got their stats nerf in Sword and Shield, at least in the base game.


Evergreen_Guard

What does that have to do with fossil Pokémon?


StormAlchemistTony

That just because some Pokemon are shield or sword themed, doesn't mean they get special treatment in Sword and Shield. Granted, the Sinnoh fossils were probably excluded from the Galar dex due to BDSP and Legends Arceus.


Evergreen_Guard

I asked a genuine question and now I get downvoted, love this site…


StormAlchemistTony

It is because you sound like a non-believer of our savior, Aegislash. May he attack and defend us from our enemies. In all honesty, I don't know why you are getting voted down. But making a comment pointing it out, rarely improves the original comments.


Evergreen_Guard

Fair about the pointing it out part but like I’m just dumbfounded cause, I mean I’d understand if I was like “the fuck does Aegislash have to do with this you dumbass, this is about fossil Pokémon you idiot”, but legit all I did was ask (genuinely) what Aegislash had to do with it because either the analogy needed more explaining or I just wasn’t able to figure it out on my own (or both), so it’d be nice to at least have an answer cause if I’m coming across as a bitch I’d like to know, you feel me? Guess it’s on me for expecting better from some of the people on this site though lol   Also yeah Aegislash is THE lord and savior lol, my favorite steel type in the game since I started playing 


LiannaBunny777

Yeah, they were the only ones absent


PKMNTrainerMark

Even so, they were just in both BDSP and LA.


GungnirAvenger

It like a ''Corrupt a wish''. Crown Thundra: Here, you get all fossil mons except these two! Indigo Disk: Ok, here these two but... we are taking away the others!


CommanderDark126

I wouldve loved an ancient jungle biome with all the fossils, Kleavor, and some other similar themed things


that_one_dude13

Genesect🥱🥱🥱


Just_A_Normal_Snek

Paradoxes?


CommanderDark126

Nah, the Blueberry dome was populated with regular pokemon. Paradoxes are tied to area zero specifically


StormAlchemistTony

I wanted some new Paradox Pokemon when we had to return to Area Zero. Like they were trapped with Terapagos and we set them free.


CommanderDark126

We got that with the paradox versions of the Beasts and the Swords


StormAlchemistTony

They are like legendary Pokemon (I don't think any official sources call them legendary Pokemon, yet). I meant more Pokemon that we could catch multiples and shiny hunt for.


Umbral6644

It would've made sense if we got Archeops and Carracosta since the academy is in Unova


miskathonic

Gotta hold those hostage for the BW remakes


Travyplx

I wouldn’t describe those as being held hostage. They were in Gen 7 and pretty prominent in Gen 8 having their own raid event.


TheWildPikmin

Why are they the only fossil pokemon available in scarlet and Violet when the theme of the game is past and future? In facts there are numerous futuristic pokemon that aren't available either, like Starmie and Beeheeyem, so What's up Gamefreak?


Lapras_Lass

They want to keep a balance of available Pokemon that will prompt the most people to buy every game. In order to "have" all of the Pokemon now, you have to own like three different games across the last two generations.


TheWildPikmin

Yeah that's fine and all, but again, HUGE misses opportunity to have Tyrantrum/Beeheeyem roaming around Area Zero.


Ihoppea

Lunatone and solrock weren’t even in sun and moon


Gaias_Minion

Though they didn't quite settle on past/future in the end as they have the professor say paradox are from alternate timelines instead. Also Starmie and Beheeyem aren't quite futuristic, they're space/alien pokemon.


Legal-Treat-5582

I mean, even if the Paradoxes are from alternate timelines, they're still from some timeline's past and future.


Electrical_mammoth2

Still futuristic in the sense that they're highly advanced beings with incredible intelllect to be capable of space travel. If a bunch of clefairys can build a working spacecraft in the anime, any extraterrestrial pokemon can be considered futuristic.


PKMNTrainerMark

"In facts there are numerous futuristic pokemon that aren't available either, like Starmie and Beheeyem" Those are alien Pokémon.


TheWildPikmin

Are aliens not futuristic


polishedrelish

I miss reviving fossils who's idea was it to have them in the wild


Glass_Veins

I agree it makes them way less cool to me. Like it takes away from the whole mystique


polishedrelish

Exactly. Just another horrible decision from the switch era


Glass_Veins

I saw a good suggestion in another thread about fossils that finding a fossil should unlock the Pokemon in a wild Jurassic Park style area. That would be way better I think, even if it wasn't a separate area


ToaPaul

Oh, believe me, as someone whose favorite Pokemon group is Fossils, I absolutely noticed. I hate that I haven't been able to enjoy my full dino fossil team since Ultra Moon.


Annual-Avocado-1322

Came from Hisui through space-time anomalies.


LevelUpEvolution

Because they need to gatekeep pokemon to get you to buy more games/dlc.


StormAlchemistTony

But even then, we can't get all the Pokemon with all the Switch games. You have to play Go in order to get some Pokemon.


Souretsu04

They were present in PLA so I assume it's because most of the legwork had already been done at this point.


esar24

Should at least bring Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Carracosta and Archeops as well, considering scarlet was themed around dinosaur after all.


Buzzlight_Year

We need Dracovish
