>still no murderous, hyper violent mega raptor fossil Pokémon with insanely high attack and speed stat

>the revive process on its fossil is so efficient, it never gains a rock typing

>normal/dragon with outrage, dragon dance, extreme speed, etc

>>29170187
A velociraptor would be a flying type anon, gamefreak seems to have dropped using innacurate dinosaurs

>>29170203
Velociraptors weren't capable of flight, retard.

>>29170213
Neither are a lot of flying types or the animals they're based on.
Wings are wings

>>29170203
fuck yourself, do they look like they're flying to you?

>>29170244
Those arent velociraptors, those are movie monsters from jurassic park.
Its got nothing to do with flight and more to do with the fact that it superficially resembles a bird.
Archeopteryx, an older cousin and fellow maniraptor absolutely could not fly and had the same sickle claws as velociraptor and yet Archeops is a flying type

>>29170258
By your logic Empoleon should be a flying type because it's a bird Pokémon.

>>29170291
Nah, by my logic flying type isn't out of the question for animals that are related to birds, not HURR DURR 100% IN OR OUT
Jesus Christ guys

>>29170258
by your logic, palkia should be dragon flying

>>29170308
Refer to >>29170304

>>29170308
Well, Palkia did always want to be a fighter jet when it was a kid. It settled on absolute dominion over matter and location.

>>29170227
HURRR DURRR EMPOLEON IS FLYING TYPE

>>29170335
Are you repeatedly ignoring that I clarified that wings make it possible but not 100% absolute
Jesus christ you autists

>>29170227
hurdur charizard is a bird

>>29170227
Scizor has wings. It can even learn roost and Wing Attack. Not a bird. Not even flying.

>>29170227
hurdur tropius is a bird

>Have Pidgey
>Use Soak on it
>is it still a bird?

>>29170368
>>29170359
>Indicating that flying type is a likely option means that its the only option.

If Archeops is a flying type, a raptor mon can be a flying type, but it doesn't have to be

>Reminder that the only Bird Pokemon is a twenty foot tall shifting mass of distorting digital interference that lives off the coast of Cinnabar.

>>29170385
It's a dinosaur, dinosaurs are birds idiot

>>29170410
so then it's normal/dragon, got it

>>29170422
dipshit, birds are dinosaurs

dinosaurs aren't birds

>>29170427
>A useless 2 foot turkey with teeth that couldn't even run fast like normies think gets to be a dragon
Altaria ruined everything

>>29170445
That doesn't make any goddamn sense

>>29170422
No, dinosaurs are dinosaurs.
Are humans monkeys? Are whales dogs? Are Elephants single-celled lifeforms?
Fuck off back to /sci/, you're 'too intelligent' to enjoy Pokémon.

>>29170485
Not him, but that's not how it works.
Birds are dinosaurs, because they arent unique enough to be seperate, the same way a dog is a canid, dogs don't get to not be canids.

That said, birds are just a type of dinosaur, that doesn't mean dinosaurs are all birds.

>>29170512
A Stegosaurus isn't a bird, and a Stegosaurus is a Dinosaur. Let's not generalize and imply all Dinosaurs are birds, that's racist.

>muh battling is too hard for kiddies (me)
Stop being so shit then.

Anyway, local battles vs friends/siblings/whatever haven't changed, just like the old days with link cables but without the link cable.

>>29170544
Some kids don't have friends who play pokemon and just want to take their little virtual friends online. Is that so wrong? Why do stupid ugly overly competetive smogon assholes have to monopolize a kids game

>>29170512
Son. Birds are not reptiles. The distinction between reptile and whatever the fuck birds are seems like kind of a big deal to just gloss over. Are birds closely related to dinosaurs? Sure. Are birds dinosaurs? no. If birds were dinosaurs we wouldn't call them birds, now would we? Dinosaur means "terrible lizard". Literature designed for children will teach this. What part of a bird fits the description of a "terrible lizard"? And don't get smart-assed and tell me that a bird is a terrible example of a lizard, those are two different definitions.

>>29170592
A bird isn't a lizard, lizard is just a shitty word used by old dumbasses to describe dinosaurs.
Velociraptor isn't a dinosaur by your standards

>>29170584
>let's strip a beloved competitive game to the ground and abandon this Nintendo goldmine because a tiny fraction of kids have no mates
If kids don't have friends at such a young age then there's something going seriously wrong

>>29170592
Doesn't have to fit anything
Dinosaur is a clade, it categorically cannot be evolved from, only within.
It's not like any example the average idiot will bring, you literally cannot evolve out of dinosauria without changing the definition of dinosaur
JPfags btfo

>>29170632
No, trash the stupid competitive garbage because the online space was meant for kids and fun not gross losers and their "deep" chess shit.
Go a step further and just make stats across evolutionary stages the same all across the board so you don't have minmaxing faggots gaming the system

>>29170470
Not the poster but it does,you dumb cunt.

>>29170633
No just raptorfags btfo. Every other dinosaur is still the badass monster it always was.

Birds are shit and so is velociraptor

>>29170677
Birds are a whole different matter. Which I don't care about. Carcharadontosaurus is my eternal nigga.

All of this dinosaur shit is beside the point, if you still think birds are their own thing then you should probably not talk about subjects you don't actually read about because you're assumptive and dumb.

The fact of the matter is that pokemon shouldnt be muh competetive monsters chess

If you're going to go that route, no Tyrannosaurus has ever killed a human

>>29170690
Have you consider that cassowaries only live in the deep Australian rainforest, so it's extremely rare for an human to encounter a wild one?

You played JPOG too?

They got the teeth wrong but I don't care, great colors and roar

>>29170753
Tyrannosaurus killed triceratopses, Cassowaries kill weak, sick, and dumb people on extremely rare occasions

>>29170764
JPOG was trash, its all about that new Jurassic World game

>>29170764
Hell yeah I did. I wish it'd get a remake or sequel; that Jurassic World app doesn't count.

>>29170761
I saw one at Sydney Zoo, they're not as big as you think.

See?
scary as fuck

>>29170853
Nobody gives a fuck about raptors faggot. Lizards with feathers are fag lizards, get yourself a real lizard with horns and armor plates like my boy Carnotaurus.

>>29170879
Not when it's the size of your hand. Fag lizard.

>>29170900
He also had feathers, are you from some underdeveloped third world country by chance?

>>29170651
>>29170743
Why? And if you actually know any kids, you'll know they're surprisingly clued up on competitive pokemon, then there's the hordes of kids online with Darkrai and all-legendary teams. So would you only let some kids play it?

>>29170914
No he didn't. And I do, Australia is shit.

>>29170914
It's impossible for carnotaurus to have feathers, stop.

I suggest you watch this :-)

>>29170970
Adding blood to something doesn't make it cool. Velociraptor is not your Deviantart OC.

>>29170915
>"kids" using a team full of legendaries
>competitively good
Think about it anon, if they're using an entire team of legendaries, they probably aren't all that good.

This aside, raptors are cool, regardless of their birdy-ness

>>29170909
Imagine something the size of a crow sticking a large toe claw into your wing pipe and killing you within a matter of seconds and imagine things such as Tyrannosaurs biting your body off and letting the blood spill over it's feathers.

>>29171087
Wow, edgy. Anybody who likes Dinosaurs because they're gory monsters is a fucking retard. The addition of feathers doesn't change anything.

>>29171087
Dinosaurs weren't any more monsterous than modern animals.
Velociraptor would probably scamper off at the sight of a human child and fight only if it was struck

It wasn't fast
It wasn't smart
It wasn't strong
It didn't hunt in packs
But it did have poofy gay feathers that extended into wings that don't even fly

>>29171157
>>29171157
Velociraptor is only an honorary Dinosaur; it's about as much a Dinosaur as Pluto is a Planet.
You can make it sound as bad as you like, its Dino card is invalid.

Anybody who liked Velociraptor as a JP villain is retarded, but anybody who likes it as a gay turkey is more retarded.

>>29170138
The games were made so that kids could socialize with each other and meet new friends. Expressionless online battling was never the creators intention, but a compromise with today's gaming standards.
GF ruined link battles for children perfectly fine themselves.

>>29171157
I unironically think raptors look great with feathers.
Velociraptor is pretty small, but something like Utahraptor would be a fearsome sight.

Then again I think terror birds are fucking awesome too.

I too am a Turok Evolution apologist.

>>29171519
Then you like birds, not Dinosaurs.

>>29171633
But dinosaurs had feathers you fucking retard

>>29171663
Feathers don't make a bird. Diplodocus is not a bird. Fucking retard.

I like how this happens every time someone mentions any kind of dinosaur.

>>29171825
I'm fairly sure it's just one guy trying to start shit.

>>29171012
I said clued up kids AND all-legendary kids

>>29170445
just like foxes arent dogs

>>29170138
>the game has to be vastly easier to compensate.

How does that make a lick of fucking sense?

Children beat the old story modes just fine. The games were always for children. Online has nothing to do with story mode's difficulty, and kids never had a problem with the latter.

>>29171633
The two are far from mutually exclusive.

>>29173403
Only if you think every Dinosaur is a Raptor.
