Flop era

[@Deadpool3E]

13:27 Paleontologist here. The crests of Dilophosaurus weren't keratinous, but made out of bone. The depictions mainly seen in media are based on the old assumption that the crests were thin and fragile pieces on top of the skull that formed these two half oval ridges. By 2020, a re-evaluation of the species based on undescribed material shown that not only were the crests thicker, but likely taller and supported sinus cavities and attachment points. They could be covered by keratin and served to help create a casque. Current studies on the new material show that the crests may have been a multi-faceted trait that helped in species recognition, improved biting power, and to increased the strength of its calls. 14:47 There's only one species of Dilophosaurus: D. witherilli. While it's true that there was a Chinese species, that animal has since been reassigned to it's one genus: Sinosaurus. What's funny is that Sinosaurus as a genus has been known since 1940 and has a weird taxonomy. Sinosaurus means "Chinese reptile"; pretty straight forward, I know. However, it's species name, triassicus, infers that it came from the Triassic. This was due to an error in which the formation it was found in was throught to be older than it actually was. Turns out that this large carnivore was from the Early Jurassic a d, like Dilophosaurus, represents an early radiation of large apex predators popping up at the time. The remains that were once referred to Dilophosaurus were aligned under the species "D. sinensis", meaning "Two crested lizard from China"... before being reassigned to Sinosaurus. So in otherwords, the possible designation for this dinosaur literally means "Chinese lizard from China." The Redundancy Department of Redundancy was closed that day. If I remember correctly, the second species has since been made a junior synonym and now those remains are now part of the S. triassicus classification. What's cool is that a complete skull was found and described last year, showing that its heads of both animals were pretty similar to one another, meaning there's a possible relativity between the two compared to animals like Monolophosaurus and Cryolophosaurus. And if you're wondering if there's such a thing as Trilophosaurus, yes it existed, but no, it wasn't a dinosaur, but a weird, plant-eating Archosaur that looks like a big iguana.

[@BioniclesaurKing4t2]

This is the kind of stuff that goes through my mind whenever someone says even half a sentence about something I know about.

[@victzegopterix2]

The only dinosaur worthy to be named "Trilophosaurus" was already called "Ceratosaurus" sadly.

[@SpexSpexington]

Counter arguement to @17:22 Wouldn't be weird at all. We have Horsea/Seadra/Kingdra as another seahorse species, but just not as "flowy" But most of all, we have the Tentacool/Tentacruel vs Toedscool/Toedscruel and Diglett/Dugtrio vs Wiglett/Wugtrio lines. Although, the whole "convergent evolution" idea didn't hit until Gen9. But my point is that it's ok to have different pokemon with similar design elements, as long as they are completely different pokemon and look completely different.

[@mrtrb4643]

I feel like the casowary mon could be Fire/Rock type, mainly due to its skull helmet head crests.

[@kelpietales4503]

18:08 Maybe because it was EVERYWHERE for so long especially on topics of ice and female singers but Mega Jynx here looks to be channeling fashion of Elsa from Frozen especially with her already blond hair and new sparkly blue dress. If that was the case, while I don't doubt Mega Jynx being cut due to past controversies, I can also see them wanting to avoid controversy with another company with a rodent mascot if they stuck with that design.

As a fan of chameleons, I'm so disappointed that we never got that first mon... I love the Inteleon line and Kecleon but having more representation would've been awesome. The first stage is also vaguely similar to Poipole in shape, which makes me think they turned the original concept into that UB, making it even more unlikely that the poison chameleon will end up being used in the future.

[@Ahmenthi]

I'm hopeful that the water beetle and cassowary Pokémon get added someday. They're very solid designs. Plus, new bugs and fire types are always welcome. The peanut dinosaur is neat, too, but it looks like it could use a little more workshopping. But not the pre-evo. That little dork is perfect. As for typing, I'd make the cassowary Fire/Rock, and Grass/Ground feels right for the peanut dinosaur. Also, the little rudder fish reminds me of the bottom of a windsurf board. Like someone could stick the fish on the bottom of their board and use the board's sail to fly across bodies of water with ease. Perhaps, if that inspiration is the case, it was dropped because surfing isn't the type of activity you think of when you think of "France."

[@andrewcogdillcole3826]

2:15. If the 1st stage is a squid chameleon thanks to its head shape, then maybe the 2nd stage is a naughtilus/ammonite shaped chameleon?
