And now the last of the fakemon designs I made for my Pokemon Design Challenge thing! At least for now, I might return to this later if I get more ideas. :>

Anyways, yeah, this was for designing new fossil Pokemon! One based on parasaurolophus, and the other based on stegosaurus. The color scheme for this is probably kinda gaudy? But I was inspired by some of those old (and usually inaccurate, lol) dinosaur toys that would have the dinos in a bunch of different wild colors. :D

So we got Paraling (parasaurolophus + duckling) and Parallard (parasaurolophus+ mallard). The reasoning for having their names based on ducks was mostly because of Ducky from the Land Before Time movies, lol. Though the duck influence ended up with me designing them to actually resemble ducks somewhat, at least having bills and webbed hands/feet. So they're kinda semi-aquatic without actually being water types! Also, they sing and used sound-based moves, mostly based on the fact that actual parasaurolophus are believed to make some fantastical sounds (starts at about 30 seconds into the video fyi)! If the games had a Sound type, they'd be that instead of Normal tbh.

And then we have Solsaur (sol + -saur ending from stegosaur), and Luxsaur (lux, Latin word for light, + -saur). This one was an idea I've had for a verrry long time, a stegosaurus Pokemon with the plates on its back acting as solar panels to help power electric attacks! I know there's already Helioptile/Heliolisk as solar-powered Electric Pokemon, but I still really like my idea of the plates being "more obvious" solar panels like this.

Overall, drawing all these fakemon designs was really fun! I hope you all enjoyed it, even though it's really different from what I usually post! :D
