I liked a couple of those sketches, so I expanded a little on them.

What have you been learning in your pokébiology classes?

gonna be honest lots of the first two years was hammering out my general ed with the occasional "type classification 101" and "pokémon behavioral psych 101" thrown in lol

HOWEVER i'm in my third year and i am soo excited about it because like. LISTEN to my schedule

mon wed fri , taxonomy of type - class studying long-term evolution and genomics of pokémon and the early evolution of types' common ancestors, etc, SO fascinating , fav class ever omfg

thursday night 3-hour long extravaganza, mythic and legendary pokémon - my prof goes insane and infodumps about pokémon mythology for an hour and a half. we take a break and eat snacks for half an hour. she again goes insane about mythology for another hour. we go home. i have a crush on her KSBDJDJSN

sat sun, ethical handling standards - most boring class i have rn but necessary for any professional in the field. it's about how to handle mons, do fieldwork without affecting the populations, catch and care standards, etc

tues, thurs, marine paleomons - INCREDIBLE class , prof is so knowledgeable. it's a paleontology course specifically centered on the early evolution of water and ice types, which are believed to be some of the first "specialized" form of pokélife, ie the earliest distinct Type!! my specialization is actually marine paleopokébiology but that is such a mouthful lol

Has anyone done fakemon of ancestor pokemon species? I know we have to dance around the word “evolution” but surely the pikachu line, dedenne, plusle and minum and others must share a common ancestor.

I’ve been out of the fandom for a longass time so I don’t know shit anymore but my nerdy self longs for phylogenetic trees and speculative paleomon art

Boltozolt

This pokemon didn’t need a giant tail or the power of ... (looks at cue cards) shivering... to generate elictricity. Maybe that’s because this is a healthy pokemon and not a mismatched monstrosity doomed to die by its own biology.

Looking for LGBT Pokétubers? You came to the right post!

Hi all! My name is PrimaDiva and I make lots of Pokémon content! Spanning from Wi-Fi Battles, Lockes, Top 5′s and even working on a lot of sciency Pokémon content right now! I love Pokémon, it’s my FAVORITE thing in the whole world (next to my girlfriend of course) and I love making videos about all sorts of Pokémon related content.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDYXYItmnWRMmL9uSGFe_Q/videos

I’m making this post because I’ve been stuck for a while, and I just can’t seem to grow no matter what I try and do.

And growing on Youtube is hard when you’re small, especially when you’re LGBT.

So I hope you consider checking out my channel, or atleast reblog this to help me!

My realistic Pokemon art has returned from the war.

In descending order: Breloom and Shroomish inspired by theropod dinosaurs. Mareep as a mix of a sheep and a hadrosaur dinosaur, I like the idea of the Mareep line being sheep-shaped dragons rather than just sheep (because Ampharos). And finally Sneasel, obviously a mustelid specifically a stoat as reference. And a very dead Pikachu somewhere in the mix.

Shroomish and Breloom 🍄 This year I really need to get back into drawing more paleo and paleo-inspired art. Edit: I noticed an error I forgot to fix and I added more defined lighting.

Dracodrake

Dr Liss did get one thing right when describing Dracozolt and Dracovish. The pokemon whose lower half she used did appear to have depleated its highly specific food source. This slow, lethargic pokemon could run fast when it had to, and its herbivorous diet consisted of only a few rare plants.

Aquavish

Oh would you look at that, a pokemon who won’t starve to death because its head is on backwards! What a concept.

What’s that? It can breathe and move around in the same environment? Goes to show what happens when you treat fossil revival responsibly. Unlike a certain Dr. Cara Liss.

This pokemon’s whole body was perfectly comfortable in the cold, and it could eat just fine because its head was on the right way.

Ptalon, Pteroshell, and Azhdosoar

These pokemon looked different in nature than their lab-revived counterparts, with an entirely different third stage

They can fire white-hot flames from the orafices in their armour, and unlike any other members of their family, Azhdosaur can fly.

Galar pokemon researcher Cara Liss is a controversial figure in the pokemon paleontological community. Dr. Liss revives pokemon by combining mismatched fossils to create new pokemon which did not exist in history, and many researchers express ethical concerns over creating creatures  doomed to extinction. 

Dracovish needs water to live, but it’s not an effective swimmer. Its legs are made for walking on land! Dracozolt can’t push itself up off the ground if it falls over! Arctozolt’s top half is not aclimated to the same regions as its bottom half! Arctovish’s head is on backwards! These pokemon’s misleading pokedex entries are no help either. Speculation on how they lived and why they went extinct is based on studying the fossils, not the living specimens, and so each factoid seems to refer to either one half of the pokemon or the other.

What’s more, next to nothing is known about the original pokemon these hybrids are revived from. They seem to come from four different periods and will be hard to track down... Dracozolt - Electric/Dragon - Modern

Dracovish - Water/Dragon - Modern

Arctozolt - Electric/Ice - Modern

Arctovish - Water/Ice - Modern

Woolly Phanpy

Wooly Donphan

The Phanpy and Donphan of the past had thick fur to withstand colder climates.

These pokemon went extinct only a few thousand years ago, but they are so similar to the modern Phanpy and Donphan, that they are usually considered an alternate form, kind of like regional variants, rather than a distinct family.

These pokemon looked different in the upper Paleozoic Era than the ones modern trainers can have revived from their fossils. Even the third stage is entirely different!
