With Tyrantrum and Aurorus as the new fossil pokemon of Kalos, we finally have a legit sauropod and carnivore pokemon! The most identifiable dinosaur types that really should have been in the first generation, but now we finally have them and they look AWESOME

That being said, I remember when I was the littlest Brian junior I was always fascinated with dinosaurs and they were the things I loved to draw most (and what I thought was best at) before I grew up, getting more skilled and developing a preference for drawing human characters instead.

I loved to read almost ANY book about dinosaurs, and what I really liked were size charts, of dinosaurs in profile (side view) so that we can see how big/small they were to one another. I thought they were really interesting, visualizing how big they would actually be from these charts with my imagination..

SO I decided to draw a size chart of all the fully evolved fossil pokemon BASED ON DINOSAURS only, because I thought it would be pretty damn cool. I drew rough silhuettes of a 6'02'' human man and a 5'03'' human woman as comparison to these dinosaurs. The dinopoke sizes may not be fully accurate and I apologize in advance ehehe..

Starting off with AERODACTYL, a large rock/flying type based on prehistoric pterosaurs, mostly like the Rhamphorynchus, which was the only type to have sharp teeth like such. Info states that it's height is 5'11'', so let's assume that's it's height when it's on all fours and somewhat hunched down. Because he looks pretty huge in the anime lol

Then we got RAMPARDOS, a pure rock type based on a pachycephalosaurs. Info states it's height to be 5'03'', which is how tall it is when slightly hunched over. I really would have liked to use this guy during my initial Diamond playthrough, but his stats besides his massive attack are pretty garbage..

Up next is BASTIODON, a steel/rock type based on ceratopsian dinosaurs like the Triceratops. Though Ceratopsians are generally known to be quite big, info states Bastiodon is only 4'03'' in height, which is disappointingly short. Let's assume that it goes up to the top of his huge dumb castle wall head lol.

The next generation gives us ARCHEOPS, a Rock/Flying type like Aerodactyl and is based on an Archeopteryx and a Microraptor. Info states it's height to be 4'07'', so let's assume that's his height on it's hind legs and bent over. I thought he was pretty cool, but not cool enough to use him. Though it's stats are the best,it's Defeatist ability sorta killed it for me..

Finally on the 6th gen we got Aurorus, a Rock/Ice type based on a sauropod, specifically the Amargasaurus. Info states it's height is 8'10', making it the tallest of the fossil pokemon, makes sense considering he's a sauropod. Let's assume that's it's height at the top of it's head, not the sails. While this pokemon, as a sauropod, seems pretty COOL to me, the typing is pitifully bad defence wise. What do Amargasaurus' have to do with Ice anyway. Well the Refrigerate ability and Freeze Dry move seem interesting atleast..

Now the best for last, we got TYRANTRUM, a Rock/DRAGON type based on a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As if that wasn't obvious enough with it's name and two clawed hands. Info states it to be 8'03'', making it the second tallest dinopoke behind Aurorus, and let's assume that's it's height at the top of his crown crest. Though it is the second tallest, he is in fact the HEAVIEST dinopoke, at 595.2lbs, outweighing Aurorus by about 100lbs, which is strange but it looks much more stocky I guess, seeing as he takes up most of the size chart. Tyrantrum is hands down the BEST fossil pokemon IMO. Simply because he's based on the very first thing that came to my mind when I heard of FOSSIL POKEMON only to be disappointed with an Anomalocaris (Anorith) and a Crinoid (Lilleep). Not only was it a T-rex, but it's an AWESOME T-REX, I love the whole regal king theme, with the crown and the neck fur with its gray underbelly making it look like it has some royal coat, fitting for the King of Dinosaurs. It's typing is also great, because Dragons just kick ass. Statwise, he seems to emphasized on attack & defence and is average everywere else, making him very balanced. So it's safe to say he's pretty decent in a competitive sense. I'm totally going to use this guy once I get Pokemon X..

So those are dinopokes of this size chart!

I hope you like it, please comment.
