12 Pokemon Inspired By Real Historical Events
3. Fossil Pokemon
This one kind of goes without saying but Fossil Pokemon are directly inspired by real life dinosaur fossils. Introduced in generation one, Fossil Pokemon have been available in all of the main-series Pokemon games. So far, Game Freak have introduced Pokemon version of pterodactyls, trilobites, diplodocus and even the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex to name a few.
The main difference between Fossil Pokemon and real life dinosaur fossils is that real life fossils cannot be revived; although with the current rate of advancements in cloning and DNA research it is probably only a matter of timeĀ
