idk that much abt pokemon games, but having a fraud pokemon professor guide whose methods & knowledge are questionable sounds like it could be a rlly fun storyline! like- THIS is the person ur trusting to guide u into the world of pokemon care and training and they're just giving u terrible advice & false info behind a Chuck E Cheese, and u just have to roll with it bcs this is the only hope & support u have. anyways i think u'd be a great professor hehe ^W^

GHRHEHEHE FR ACTUALLY . this is so funny thank u

#like cara liss if she were the main game pokemon professor . just some1 who absolutely sucks at it #emails

Is it ethical to resurrect fossil pokemon?

The answer to that is a solid: It depends.

For the most part, I would argue that yes, it's fine to take a fossil to a lab. The biggest worry most people have is that "if it gets out, what about the eco-system?" but in truth, the fossil pokemon is the one most in trouble for the simple fact that.

Well.

The eco system has moved on and the old niche is filled by pokemon with millions of years of natural selection against the resurrected one. For an example, lets look at lileep. Back in its time period, where the diversity of the eco-systems was still a new thing, lileep colonies stretched for miles. They were the dominant life form. You can't stub your toe in Hoenn without turning over a lileep fossil. Because they were the first really successful grass type, the ocean beds were theirs. Nowadays, though, the sea floors they used to rule are crowded with corsola, sea weed, kelp, shellder beds, etc. There's no room for the fairly basic lileep to get a foot hold.

Sometimes even the basic environment itself is an issue. Anorith struggle in modern oceans due to changes to the ocean such as pH and salinity.

One of the few exceptions to this is omanyte, which is becoming quite prevalent. However, a number of fairly smart water type pokemon are working out how to get into that tough shell to get the meat inside, and so its likely the eco-system may eventually resettle once its position on the food chain is established. Until then, omanyte meat is very slowly picking up as a delicacy. (Though frankly, you'd have a better time eating an old boot.)

Another reason they pose little threat to the eco system: most of their food no longer exists naturally. Aurorus, for instance, can just barely hold its own against rivals like tropius, but their natural diet of large cycads and ferns are hard to find or just plain extinct. Combined with the warmer temperatures of today, and a large pokemon that could have been destructive of the eco-system is rendered incapable of doing so.

However, these pokemon often thrive in human care, as we can use science to make supplements that fill in the nutritional gaps and provide care and enrichment to help them enjoy their new life. A well loved and looked after fossil pokemon is a fascinating window into a past so different it may as well be another world.

However, there is one more thing I must address.

"Professor" Cara Liss is a hack who got her PhD from the back of a cereal box.

Those poor pokemon she resurrects are travesties of science. Though it is our responsibility to provide the current specimens living today with the medical care they deserve, it is DEEPLY morally wrong to create more of them. A dracovish might have a good reputation as a battler but it can barely function without a diet that is almost half medication by volume (I exaggerate, but only slightly).

Fossil pokemon do need some thought, as there are extra elements to their care, but if you want to bring your lucky fossil feather back from the dead as an arceops, go forth and do so if you think you're ready.

Just don't give it to that fraud in Galar.

[frostbite-yinny]

are there any prehistoric pokemon at the sanctuary? if not, then have you ever taken care of any? i hear they have difficult needs due to the whole being brought back to life thing.

Yep, most of the time we have prehistoric Pokemon that are resurrected and happen to have bad IVs.

It's more common than you think, sadly.

We had many fossil Pokemon from Lileep to Aerodactyl and, for the most part, they don't have problems adapting. Maybe a few minor health problems since their bodies aren't the best for the new life conditions/climate/oxygen levels but those are never so bad that it lowers their quality of life.

But that is not the case for the fossil Pokemon Cara Liss creates.

The Pokemon Cara Liss creates by mixing two different fossils are...well, I don't want to call the poor Pokemon abonomations, but, they kinda are.

Upside down heads, mismatched body ratio that exposes the fragile organs too much, and, hell, a head on the tip of the tail.

I'm not a professor, and I'm not educated in this field but these Pokemon always have a very low quality of life. They suffer throughout their lives but they are healthy just enough that they won't get put down.

It's....sad to witness.

These Pokemon are especially friendly and warm-hearted and I can kinda understand how the disproportions make them look 'cuter' but I thinks its cruel.

I won't judge someone who has these Pokemon, of course, but it does make me a little... skeptical about them.

In the interest of having enough contestants that we won't have to cut anyone that actually counts or do too many 3v3 polls, we've come down to a handful of characters who either sort-of-maybe count and/or are Professors but are pretty obscure and barely have any character art to go off of, so I once again have decided to let the people choose! The poll will last for one day, and the top four will go on to the actual competition, while the rest shall be given a consolation hug and front-row tickets to the main event! Good luck, and see y'all tomorrow!

OC-TOBER day 5: relationships

a "Caris Says" lens into their interpersonal relations 🦐

Caris's opinion on...

Fen, nickname "That damn professor": Sees too much in me. Keeps suggesting I become a fossil Pokemon professor.

from fen's perspective, even being ataognized he feels bad for caris

Colress, nickname "Genius": Thanks for the appreciation, I guess. Ideas don't always align, but understands me more than most.

from colress's perspective, he found their work via research into timeline manipulation after rainbow rocket. he feels strongly about them, even if they're oblivious to it

Molayne, comment "...You free thursday?": A meteor ended fossil pokemon, t-though!

Roark, comment: My fossil connoisseur protege! Still don't know why you want my advice.

roark invites them to digs, even if they always decline

Steven Stone, nickname "Devon Corp prince": Not a fan of him. You know steel isn't a rock, right!?

he has no idea who they are, but would think their shiny anorith is cool

Cara Liss, comment "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?": ...Though I do feel at fault. If I didn't make fossil revival portable...

#pkmn ocs #caris #oc-tober #bweirdOCtober #i feel bad how many searches this will end up in but i needed to type the image text 😭

[pokemoncenter]

Do you suppose it’s possible to revive the Galar fossils “properly”?

I asked Professor Coconut about her take on the matter.

Essentially, they almost certainly could be. However, it would take a lot of work... and essentially, we would need a great deal more fossils than are available, due to Cara Liss' horrid machines.

As a result, due to her incompetence, anyone else who does research or any work involving Galar's fossils, will run the risk of being associated with her or accused of agreeing with her work. So no one wishes to touch those until Cara Liss is put away for good and people have had time to move on from this.

Dear Professor Gingko, I'm sure by now you've seen the paper published by the Académie Kalosienne des Sciences last month, but apparently work with reviving frozen Amaura has revealed that, in life, they were Electric/Ice types, as opposed to Rock/Ice, and that the Rock typing only crops up in specimens revived from fossils, and those descended from them. I'm curious about the implications this has for reintroduction efforts, and how this impacts both Pokémon revived from fossils, and our reconstructions of ancient ecosystems. I'm also curious as to how your... I feel "nemesis" is the best term, Cara Liss managed to avoid the artificial Rock type insertion of standard revival technology. Obviously, if you don't have any information on that topic, I understand.

Oh yes, I was fascinated by that article; I heard the research was proceeding apace a few months ago at a conference and was awaiting the results. Honestly, the fossil scientific community had somewhat anticipated something like this; it seemed rather too unlikely that every single species thus revived was a Rock Type!

Obviously though the scientific confirmation of this does have implications! First of all, to my mind, it confirms that re-introduction efforts should be, and really never should have been, about re-introducing the Pokemon exactly as it was in prehistory to the modern world. That would, in any case, most likely not work! The world was extremely different back then! Now that we have proof that the creatures being brought back are fundamentally different enough from the creature that left the fossil to be an entire different Type, even in part, I believe this should lead to greater efforts to make them, shall we say, modern-day-friendly. By which I mean not attempting to deliberately change their behaviour or physical characteristics per se, but instead working to make sure they can cope with the modern day changes in oxygen levels, the different foods, changed climates and so on.

Of course, that then raises more questions about re-introduction, as fossil Pokemon who have been bred to be more adapted to modern conditions will have an easier time potentially out-competing existing Pokemon species and becoming a nuisance or actively damaging to the ecosystem. However, re-introduction efforts should already be considering the possibility that the re-introduced species becomes invasive, and the re-introduction efforts should be kept to small and extremely well-observed areas for some years after they are begun!

Obviously, Fossil Pokemon bred from revived individuals are another kettle of fish, and tend to be much better adjusted from the get-go, especially the further back in the family tree their revived ancestor was. However, giving them a solidly well-adjusted genetic line from the beginning can only be beneficial in my mind!

Another option is of course to continue to refine the revivifiation process until it is capable of erasing the artificially induced Rock Typing and bringing back the original Typing. I am not actually a scientist who works in the labs reviving fossils; I have a Master's degree in Fossil Pokemon Care, meaning I work with the living specimens only! This means that although I would follow any research along these lines with interest, it is somewhat less in my wheelhouse!

The last option would be to attempt to work with revived Rock Typed fossils to see if they can regain their lost historic Typing, perhaps using similar methods that developed regional forms. However, the methods even of regional form development are still rather unclear in many cases, and obviously attempting to induce essentially the same mechanism artificially runs the risk of causing harm. Admittedly, so do the previous two options! Unfortunately, it is something of a hazard of working with living, breathing creatures full stop. However, I believe this method runs the risk of causing the most harm.

The impact on paleontologists is fairly obvious: it can no longer truly be said that the behaviour of revived fossils maps exactly to the sort of behaviour they would display in prehistory. Of course, only academically lazy individuals ever tried to say it would these days, but there are unfortunately more of those about than you'd like!

As for effects on the Pokemon themselves brought on by gaining the Rock Typing... well, it's honestly very hard to say. They are forced into gaining a great deal of new behaviours simply by having to adjust to living in the modern world, after all. It doesn't appear to be leading to notable physical health issues, or issues using Rock-typed moves, at least in the vast majority of individuals. Again, bred individuals who have, as you might say, been 'born into' the Typing, show what I would call no significant problems that could be ascribed to being the 'wrong' Type. It would, however, explain the fact that many of them show unexpected affinities for learning other Typed moves!

There are obviously arguments that fossils should never have been revived in the first place, but to that I apply the same logic as to the chimera fossil species: they are here now, and they are not going away, and thus it is our responsibility as the species who brought them back to give them the best lives we can manage!

As for how She managed to avoid the Rock-Typing... as I said, I am not a revival scientist myself, so the intricacies might be escaping me. But I do have one guess. It seems to me that the process of forcing chimerism, and whatever processes she used to force, for example, organ growth in Dracovish, would interfere with the DNA extracted from the fossils a great deal more than usual revival processes do. However naturally enough this is unlikely to result in 'natural' typings either!

...I swear, if I get my hands on Cara Liss, I'll be giving her more than a piece of my mind. Those experiments that created the Galar fossil Pokemon were beyond unethical and I have a few words for...

[pkmnherpetology]

Hi! first time asker, so i apologize if this has been brought up already, but;

Are all fossil pokemon rock type by default? or do they attain rock type during the revivification/cloning process?

If the latter, do you think that one day it'll be possible to revive more type-accurate extinct pokemon?

And finally, If fossil pokemon aren't originally rock type, is there any connection to the rock typing acquired in this way, and mega-aerodactyl's stone protrusions? There's no way those cumbersome spikes are natural for a flying type, right?

hi!!

so, i'm actually a herpetologist, not a paleontologist, but i'll do my best to answer.

1.) most likely, some fossils develop the rock type as a result of the cloning process. however, some, like cranidos and rampardos, were probably what we would classify as rock types when their ancestors were still alive. typing is more of a description of a species' ecological niche and bodily adaptations, so trying to discern whether or not all fossils would have had the same typing when their ancestral forms were extant is difficult and relies on a lot of reconstruction of what the ancestral forms looked like and what their ecology was like.

2.) reviving pokémon in general is an ongoing process. for the most part, with the exception of whatever in arceus' name is going on in fucking galar, we've seen a lot of improvement and the ability to revive species that have little to no extant relatives, or don't have any very close living relatives. fossil research was going on long before trainers were able to privately own species recreated by fossil cloning, and the fact that we now have clones that are healthy and stable enough (again, there is a big asterix over whatever the shit is happening in galar here, if i ever get my hands on cara liss i'm feeding her to my drednaw girlboss) to be kept as partners is a good sign for what we'll be able to accomplish in the future!

3.) to be perfectly honest with you, i don't know. mega evolution has been a very hot topic in the scientific community and while i'm not at liberty to explain more than this (for some reason the league is being very hush-hush about it? it has something to do with a professor at a private grade school or something i don't know) there have been some discoveries here in paldea that have apparently led some of my colleagues and superiors at the university to come to the conclusion that mega evolution may actually be related to what the ancestral traits of a species are. if this is true, it would actually suggest that mega aerodactyl is closer to the ancestral traits of what we revived. of course, this would probably require some reworking of aerodactyl's biology as we understand it because, like you said, if the ancestral form looked like that it probably didn't fly as often as we assume it did.

@professor-mystic

Go eat a salazzle egg. As a chimeric abomination from another dimension. I am apalled at the monstosities you create. I mean they're not even that great when it comes to affronts to arceus and science they're just kinda... mid.

How dare you call the great Cara Liss "mid"?

Oh, heh. I get it. You're jealous, huh. Jealous you don't have the power to create life. So all you've got is being a hater, huh.

[team-magma-leader-maxie]

So…you know of anything involving Fallers? As in, people displaced in time or space. As you can confirm with the @sinnoh-research-and-restoration foundation, one has ended up living with me. Namely, Warden Arezu of the Diamond Clan.

Yep, I have ended up in what you’d consider modern times and have been living among you.

I can't say that I do. All of this is news to me. Were I not aware of the foolishness going on in Paldea, I'd think this was another "roleplay" or fantasy post. What are the ethics of pulling people and pokémon from the past and forcing them to live in the present? Last I read with one Cara Liss and the Paldean professors, it was generally regarded as dubious at best.

Hello professor! In the vein of the ancient oceans post, it would be really cool to see a prehistoric planet-style post about the speculative habitat for all the fossil Pokémon, potentially even one for the "parts" of the SwSh fossils. Thanks for your hard work :)

Thanks for the question, sorry it took a little while to answer!

Without giving too much away, I am currently working on a couple Biomes posts regarding ancient areas. Please stay tuned - I may answer your question in the near future!

However, I will gladly answer your question about the fossils in SwSh, and honestly it is the funniest thing in the Pokémon franchise.

So I don't think I'll focus too much on the biology of the Galar fossil Pokémon because frankly, they're a mess. They clearly were mixed up in the resurrection process and thus are not accurately representing what species were present back when those species lived.

Back in the 19th century, fossil excavation and dinosaur research was an exciting new field of study. It was an intense and ruthless competition to see which paleontologist could discover the most. This granted this period the dub "Bone Wars." Most notably, a feud broke out between Edward Drinker Cope of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and Othniel Charles Marsh of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale and they would undermine each other in their publishing, try to eliminate each other's research funding, practice bribery and blackmail, they even tried to steal and destroy the other's bones!

So where does this battle of egos tie in to Sword and Shield? Well, in order to discover the most species, sometimes these early paleontologists would make dinosaurs up, using a mish-mash of various bones. Marsh mounted a skull of a camarasaurus onto the body of an apatosaurus and called it a brontosaurus.

In the UK there were some Dino-mixups. In 1822 a doctor named Gideon Mantell discovered one of the earliest found fossils while visiting a patient in Sussex. This fossil was actually the tooth of what would later be called "Iguanadon." However, no complete skeletons were discovered for some time, so the body of the animal remained somewhat of a mystery. Even today you can find a statue of the early Iguanadon concept in London's Crystal Palace Park. However, the animal depicted in the statue rests quadrupedally on four legs. We now know Iguanadon was bipedal.

The reason that the fossil Pokémon in Sword and Shield are so hilarious is because that's almost exactly what happened in real life. Cara Liss is the fossil reviver for Sword and Shield, and her story is very much based off of early paleontologists like Cope and Marsh. She is hot-headed, egotistical, and in the anime is shown to make up the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that she herself create from the fossils. She is clearly yearning to be the very best Pokémon paleontologist, and is thus making up Pokémon that she can claim as her own discoveries.

day 2 begins

things have calmed down slightly on the professors’ end. the fish has been safely transferred to the Goldenrod Pokecenter’s ICU, and the Galar champion has asked to take over the “fuck cara liss’s entire existence” investigation. so aside from any unexpected developments, questions can actually be answered again. yaaaay.

also the Radio Tower staff got a hot breakfast buffet to apologize for all the overtime work we’re doing. i am full of pancakes and bagels and bacon and joy.

Strictly Prohibited Actions under the Interregional Association of Professors

Introducing an invasive species into the wilds of a foreign environment (Lusamine is not permitted to become a professor because of the Ultra Beast invasion, and Turo and Sada had their title revoked for the unleashing of Paradox Pokemon outside of Area Zero.)

Fusing two or more species of Pokemon (Cara Liss and Ghetsis are banned from the Association for this reason)

Cloning of a Legendary Pokemon (This was in direct response to Mewtwo's creation, but the Aether scientists responsible for Type: Null are under heavy surveillance because they are all but genetically confirmed to be a clone of Arceus)

Summoning a Legendary Pokemon for destructive or disruptive purposes. (Pretty much every major villain since Archie and Maxie.)

Human lives are just as valuable as the rest of the life on Earth, so endangering human life is also prohibited (Flare's science division is banned, for example, and Fidel Neternum/@archclergy is currently under investigation.)

Permitted on a case by case basis

Revival of singular species of fossil pokemon. If there's a case for them being able to adapt to and co-exist with present day nature, it's not an invasive species.

Promotion of alternative, scientifically unproven medicine for Pokemon (Formerly, applied to the promotion of Herba Mystica. Written progress of improvement for the health of Arven's Mabostiff, though, has called them back into consideration.)

Excessive usage of a regional phenomenon, especially if tied to a major, but finite, energy source. (This is why you can only use most of them once, such as only being allowed to have one Mega Evolved Pokemon or Dynamaxed pokemon)

Other Rules of Note

A Professor is responsible the actions of for their assistants. A violation of the code from a professor's assistant will jeopardize both of their statuses in the Association.

The Ethical Code is subject to change. Rules may be added in the face of an oversight leading to a tragedy.
