Failed Mechanics: Fossil Pokemon

[@bruhmphrey]

The one time a fossil mon was good enough, it could be summoned directly to the bench lmfao

[@jeffsweeney6171]

Yeah, and surprisingly, they were both Archeops

[@Semystic]

Hey, delta species kabutops was pretty good. I had a deck back in the day centered around it and actually beat one of the best competitive decks of the time. I was able to go from fossil, breeder/candy to kabutops and charge it up in a single turn. Dont remember what else was in the deck (edit: i think dragonite), but that part was memorable

[@Mitjitsu]

The main problem it has is the fossil Pokémon haven't been good enough to justify all the trouble you have to go through to get them out.

[@Aimnoos]

We should have more fossil love and more consistency and better fossils

[@bib2045]

U are absolutely right. Really wanted this newest cradily to be a troll but playable deck. However giving out 2 prizes for free right off the bat with omastar v is not it.

[@mralkholik9957]

​@SanganY but you're never playing the fossil. Lugia didnt exist, archeops wouldn't have been played

[@GKplus8]

If I were to take a crack at the concept, I'd have the fossils act similarly to the "baby pokemon" mechanic they sometimes use (though that's itself an inconsistent mechanic). Make the stage 1's of the fossils basic, and have the actual fossils act as alternate "basic" mons that still evolve into their relevant mons. If you do go from fossil -> mon, the fossil provides a buff, perhaps by turning into an attached tool card. (have them provide abilities like what has been on the separate fossil cards, stuff like that)

[@carljimen]

That's actually a good idea.

[@HotCrossB1S]

as someone who doesn't even play this game, I approve of this idea 😗👌

[@randyjr.arsenio5624]

It would be cool if Fossil pokemon that actually evolved from fossils exuded a Primal Aura that stopped other pokemon from evolving

[@morganjary]

@@randyjr.arsenio5624 cool but also extremely busted. there is a reason they have tied that ability into mostly Stage 2 fossils mons. If that was the case, the meta would forgo ALL evolution decks in favor of Basic ex mons AGAIN.

[@LegendStormcrow]

What if the fossil itself functioned as a double rainbow energy working for any element type?

[@MaestroAlvis]

4:40 this reminds me of how the first sets in mtg thought multicolor cards should be weaker to offset all the advantages of being multicolored... of which there were none.

[@zdrident]

This makes me think of toon monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh. They completely rely on toon world, which literally has no effect, and despite having decent effects themselves, they are just too slow and clunky to be useful

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, particularly the later fossils that seem to have deliberately OP effects but are so difficult to send out, just as Toons were forced to use Toon world to get off thier game winning effect of attacking directly without penality, but they had summoning sickness too (except a few of them) Even with modern toon support though, it kind of lets them keep up with the state of the game (at least in Duel Links where the meta is a bit weaker than the TCG) but they still have the same issue as Malefics, the right backrow disruption shuts them down completely.

[@nullpoint3346]

Just nerfing Anime Toon World would be more interesting.

[@baconslayerjohnson4668]

Toon decks can still work you just have to innovate and keep multiples of the spells

[@pipdev8636]

What’s so annoying about fossils is it’s so easy to think of support cards or changes that could make fossils playable. And they do keep making fossil changes and support: but never sensible ones that would actually make them playable

[@SteamingPerson]

It's funny that out of all mainline mechanics, this is the one they're very particular about emulating. Evolution stones were never a mandatory mechanic to evolve Eevee and other stone evolutions, nor any odd way of emulating Trade evolutions. But fossils were apparently unique enough to warrant all of this.

[@XxTheCupidKidxX]

It might just be tradition at this point instead of logic

[@TheAweDude1]

I just want to point out that Cradily-EX is apparently weak to fire and water, both of which it is actually neutral to in the games. It's like whenever a Gyarados shows up with a grass weakness instead of a lightning weakness.

Half the video basically boils down to "It didn't work because item card disruption was printed at the same time & meant you couldn't play the fossil cards in the first place."

[@munchrai6396]

Yeah, there timing really sucks. To have strong, basic Pokemon with item locks printed alongside some of their strongest waves of support is incredibly unfortunate. I legitimately think that Arceus block of fossils could've been consistent enough to work, but Spiritomb is just an insane card

[@ThySoulessGamer]

The irony of fossil pokemon being shut down by Genesect is honestly hilarious

[@munchrai6396]

It is crazy the effects that are often printed on fossil Pokemon. From the trainer and supporter locking effects found on Team Up Omastar and Kabutops, to the many different cards that stop evolution. I knew about Aerodactyl and Archeops, but Skyridge Omastar and Kabutops are even wilder. Sure they have to be in the active spot and their attacks aren't amazing, but they not only stop evolution, they stop either player from placing ANY Pokemon in play as long as they're active. I do definitely appreciate how thorough this video was. Had no idea just how cool Arceus Kabutops and Aerodactyl were and combined with Fossil Excacator, gen 4 is probably the best era for giving fossils a unique playstyle that's also pretty flexible for which fossils it supported. Fossil Pokemon are probably the best example of an archetype screwed over by rotation. Instead of each support card building onto previous support, each wave attempts to reiterate previous support. This not only hurts the consistency of the support, but it also means that a lot of these cards just don't work on every fossil Pokemon. Its sad how few fossil support cards use the term, 'evolving from item cards', as that's how you'd tie them together mechanically.

[@LightishRed]

Mysterious-, Buried-, Unidentified-, Rare fossil, "Restored" Pokemon, sometimes unique fossils, sometimes not It's just so tedious how it gets switched over and over. No wonder the biggest play Fossils see, is when the gimmick is circumvented. I wouldn't want to bother either.

[@ivanbluecool]

Clearly the fossil revival machine is just a better version of a revive

[@jamesaditya5254]

I'm waiting until TCG Pocket becomes widely available because we'll get an equivalent of "...but in Duel Links" for Pokemon TCG. Fossils are a decent deck filler in "oops all supports" decks because your starting hand is weighed to have at least 1 basic pokemon, and you only run 2 basics being Articuno EX. The best supports you want are mainly Misty, Oak, and pokeballs to draw the other Articuno EX you don't open so you fill up the rest with other items and trainers that you don't mind seeing. Because fossils are items they won't be counted as your guaranteed basic in your opening hand.

I first got more "serious" with the tcg around the DPPt era, and I absolutely loved using the fossil deck (still have it, too!). That said, it was really fun to use...with friends. We weren't tuned in enough to know what the actual meta was, so the one time we ever went to a tournament, I got completely walled out by Spiritomb (even in the one match I played with a stranger before the bracket started lol).

Oh that might actually be the worst tournament experience imaginable. Turn 0: opponent flips Spiritomb You: "Oh... I guess my deck doesn't do anything anymore."

[@NeroVingian40]

As bad as the Fossil Pokémon was during Base Set, I actually find quite some use for them; as bench fillers for Do The Wave Wigglytuff decks. Since the fossil trainers don’t count as a Pokémon while in the deck or hand, they don’t clutter the “1 Basic Pokémon in opening hand” rule. That means you can still run a low number of actual Basic Pokémon and still have the ability to fill up the bench quickly when you’re finally attacking with DTW.

[@HasherBrown]

This was always the most frustrating thing for me being a pokemon tcg fan, fossil pokemon are REALLY AWESOME but for some reason every time they came to print the designers insisted on needing to give them a weird gimmick that largely made them unplayable 😢

[@MarxForever]

Interesting how you mention that; "Fossil Pokemon finally got a way to search their basics in Sun and Moon". When there was a card like that all the way back in the original Generation I sets. Fossil Excavation, which let you add one Mysterious Fossil from your deck or discard pile. The only problem? That card is Japanese exclusive. Wizards of the Coast brilliant idea of localizing the "Vending Series"; three entire mini-sets totaling to over a hundred cards, many direct support or counters to existing cards and strategies; was to drip feed them to us, over many, many years as Black Star league promos. I believe we got like six, before their license ran out, well into Generation 2.

[@eaglest0554]

I remember seeing Aerodactyl and Omastar in tcg pocket and thinking they were really strong, until I realized how fossil pokemon worked.

[@greengaleproductions]

Not necessarily a "Fix", but I like the idea of having a variety of different Fossils that aren't locked to a single 'Mon.

The Fossil Card itself is a staple, mostly because it serves as an active pokemon that does not produce a prize card when KOd. It's is essential in some of the best strategies of its time.. especially defensive stall based decks and midrange types.

[@warnadokasper4778]

The vending series at least added the Fossil Excavation and a decent Omanyte card. Fossil Exc. allowd you to just grab mysterious fossil either from the deck or discard pile. And the Omanyte allowed you to flip a coin, if heads, your fossil Pokémon did +10 damage this turn. This effect stacked, leading to some fun 2 Omanyte 2 Dactyl builds.

[@hughwest6808]

Actually it's the Omanyte with Fossil Guidance that's OP, which let's you put 1 Mysterious Fossil from your discard pile into your hand depending on a coin flip. This means you can create infinite walls which pair well with neo Donphan's Rapid Spin or even vending Venomoth's Stir Up Twister which switch out both your pokemon and your opponent's. In Japanese Halls of Fame, such as Suginami, which have card restrictions to enable a balanced meta, you have to burn 6 out of 8 of your points to be able to have even just one in your deck.

[@warnadokasper4778]

@hughwest6808 Oh yeah I am well aware the other Omanyte is much better ^^ I just like damage modifiers. Regardless both Omanyte vending cards are interesting at least. I love the vending series. Do you happen to have a place where I could see the Japanese meta with the vending cards?

My only interaction in any match with Fossils was a really funny thing that happened to me in TCG Pocket about a week ago: I had Old Amber on my Bench with iirc a Ralts in the active spot. I got stupidly lucky with getting enough energy and my Aerodactyl out just in time for the opponent's lone Charizard ex to KO my Ralts. Aerodactyl's move in TCGP is a coin flip to discard the opponent's active. I won the flip and therefore the game without any knockouts. I literally won with a scoring of 0-1

[@NolChannel1]

Mysterious Fossil is honestly just the best card in the Fossil archetype. Free stall fodder for the Mr Mime Lickitung deck, hell yeah.

[@MoosGoCow1]

The sun and moon aerodactyl did see plenty of play. The second attack was very good and worth playing for. DCE was so prevalent in that era that running Aerodactyl with some hammers would effectively lock people out of the game. It was never top tier however because some decks could rush it down but it was competitively viable.

[@chamthrio2760]

If I were to say, I think its much better as a mechanic where stage 1 fossil mon can only be played by discarding the corresponding fossil from hand, so it keeps the evolving part like you still need lileep to evolve into cradily but solves the awkward part of fossil where they are not pokemon when they are fossil so they cant be played during setup and also solve the bench lock problem. My suggestion is based on the fact that when I play cradily, its so frustrating when fossil cannot be played during setups giving free cards to opponents and while being stage 2, I have so little ways to search fossils that makes it unrealistic to play without omastar V Now the downside to this is you are more awkward on deck space but the less evolution stage can leads to more room to play around with effects from the card design and you dont suddenly become the cheapest stage 2 coz you still need 2 specific card to play and starting with a fossil mon means you have 1 less card to start with and fossil will be a brick without the relevent pokemon given some of the fossil is already quite good, I think this is subtle changes I think could work and will not make some of the mon too strong, idk just a thought

In the main series games, most of the fossil Pokémon also don't stack up competitively. Because most of them are Rock type, they come with plenty of weaknesses to common types. The most successful of them all, too much so even, is Dracovish. This because its types are Water/Dragon, worlds better than all the fossils that came before it, and it has stellar abilities and moves to back up this great typing.

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

The old Pokemon art and card designs were awesome

[@mjm3091]

To be fair in TCG online Fossils got relatively good abilities and moves especially with this limited meta. But we are back to dummy fossils with no additional abilities. Mixed with the fact that you have to pull multiple cards of these, to even start playing with them - fossils likely won't have any meta relevance for long time, if any. I have seen people use Aerodactyl as a solid support though - as it is I believe the only (or one of the few) Pokemon that get Gust of Wind effect built into it's attack. Omastar disables defending Pokémon to be able to attack and Kabutops has the strongest absorbing move in the game right now. But the most use I have gotten (as I only have Trainer Cards, Aero and Omanyte) - was to use Fossil cards as the damage placeholders and sacrifice pieces. Namely with regular Zapdos doing damage to your bench - you can use them to catch it and then you can just Retreat them and put a new one in their place. And as they are not Basic Pokémon - you won't be starting the game with them in Active Position. Other use is obviously to sacrifice something less relevant, especially in such EX heavy meta and Sabrina being so potent - that's an extra turn of free energy you can get. Either as you can Retreat them at no cost after getting less than 40 damage or as sacrifice to let yourself build up your other Pokémon. In general they are good deck placeholders when you don't want more Basic Pokémon, evolutions can be worthless and you don't have enough relevant trainer cards (an issue that stems from no Energy cards being present in the game). I do feel like the fossils themselves should have had some characteristic ability each. And stage 1 are way too weak for their own good. As they are slightly weaker versions of the 40 damage mons like Rapidash, Mienshao or Clefable - as obviously their "base" form doesn't have any attacks.

[@Dannala]

I feel like Restored pokemon could have potential as a niche gameplay style where you would utilize something like the old Kabutops + Omastar combo of needing to discard fossils , and then putting them back into the bottom of your deck to refuel/maybe some more trainer card or move effects. Would also make it an Anti mill deck, and maybe explored to be a mill strategy if nothing else considering kabutos/fossil cards history of tanking hits.

Masterball was not "Masterball" and "Pokemon center" was not "Pokemon center." i got so sick of the complete overhaul of already established cards that they could had left alone. i think the closest WotC came to something similar in vein was Oubliette.
