Some new bits of Pokémon X and Y info got me thinking: being a self-professed dinosaur nerd, what kinds of dinosaurs and/or prehistoric animals would YOU like to see get made into Pokémon?

You know, I would really like to see some more of the weird-ass Cambrian Explosion stuff like Hallucigenia (an animal whose name means “I really gotta lay off the special mushrooms”) played with.  Or, from the Mesozoic, maybe a Spinosaurus, just because I’d be curious to see where Game Freak would take the ‘sail’ thing.  A Spinosaurus’ sail is generally thought to have something to do with regulating body temperature in a hot climate, so the simplest interpretation would be to give it fire- or sun-related powers, but you could take it in other directions too – like thinking of it as a literal sail and working with wind- and water-related abilities.
