i think your second theory makes sense to me
actually they didn't have rock type, but they gain it
so maybe kabutops were like Water/Bug ( i always think of that too, imagine bug vs bug: kabutops vs schyter!)
remember theory about genesect = kabutops?
maybe.. (just maybe)
in a way that only team plasma knows, kabutops lost it's water typing and gained steel as a secondary type, making it a Bug/Steel!!!
With that theory, Kabutops would have looked differently originally too right? I mean since it looks more like a Rock pokemon than any other.
Voted for Kabutops. Arceops is a close second though, despite the fact that I've never played 5th gen. I like Rampardos too.
Shouldn't this be in Pokepolls though?
On the topic of fossil pokemon...
The smart researcher guys who turn your fossils ALIVE... How do they work? Is it based on cloning from a Pokemon's DNA?
If this is so, could they clone a ;;382; Pokemon ;383; using the same technology??? I mean, what is necessary to perform this science? Could yu take a small sample of a Pokemon to reproduce it?
As a large community of Pokemon players, we need a team of researchers to look into this.
Realistic Pokemon cloning!!!!!!
Hahaha, exactly.
If they clone pokemon from dead samples, cloning living pokemon should be piece of cake.
Perhaps they have an ethic of not creating unnecessary duplicates.
We are slowly getting to this in terms of resurrecting the memmoth in the real world btw.
There have been discveries of well preserved samples throughout the last few years, most recently this month in Siberia.
I wanna see a sabretooth, but a mammoth will be exciting too XD
Would a sabretooth fossil pokemon be any good?
