Other than the Dragon type thing, it’s a Pokemon that doesn’t do a whole lot creatively. Jurrassic Park was one of my favorite movies growing up, for crying out loud! And one of my first attempts at making Fakemon as a child was trying to make the coolest T-Rex monster I could make.Ī Pokemon that may only be for simple pleasures but it both relishes in that fact and is the perfect animal to be pleasing to those simple pleasures. But as a kid I couldn’t get enough dinosaurs. Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus, dinosaur transparent background PNG clipart size. I still love the giant ‘saurs today of course. Pokemon Squirtle illustration, Pokmon GO Pikachu Squirtle Charmander. I can tell that this is a Pokemon I would’ve called one of my absolute favorites had I been 9 years old when X and Y came out. Kids (and even plenty of adults of course) just have an inherent attraction to these cool, obscenely large lizards that used to rule the world. It’s a Pokemon that plays to the most childlike needs of Pokemon. Is that a widespread thing? Or was that just me? I do also like how that beard just reinforces “this dude old.” Ya went and woke this species of elderly T-Rexes from their 65 million year nap! Also I do recall hearing the T-Rex be referred to as the “king” of dinosaurs.

That fancy frill combined with the lines down its stomach makes it look like it’s wearing some kind of fancy coat, and with a big crown over its head, selling the “tyrannical” part of its namesake. And it combines the best of both worlds with it being very scaly and also having a frill around its neck and a “beard” that could be feasibly called feathers. And adding a little bit to make it its own. It knows exactly what’s lovable about these awesome monsters and represents it to its fullest. While still a pretty straightforward depiction of a classic T-Rex, I can’t help but love Tyrantrum. The big, bad, monstrous super-lizard everyone knows and loves. That feels like it’s been a common complaint I’ve had with Gen 6 Pokemon so far, haha. “That… but more.” It could’ve just used a bit more, y’know? The only thing setting it apart being some funky thigh-scales and a little bit of neck ruff.

Tyrunt’s got its own merits of course! But it’s just a rather typical cartoon dinosaur. Which can be a dodgy process, having this fairly well-developed beastie but having to deliberately backpedal it to make room for a “baby” version of itself without just rendering it a lesser version of the evolved form. I feel like they must’ve designed Tyrantrum first and then developed a pre-evolution for it. So yeah, that’s a practice I’m loving, especially with it going into Gen 7 as well. In fact, I think out of the 5 Dragon lines in Gen 6, the closest we get to a traditional Dragon is Noivern, a bat. Though I do like that this, along with Dragalge, was more or less the start of the Dragon type really getting stretched to encompass many creatures that don’t necessarily have to be Dragons. Tyrunt is a cute, if plain baby Dino at least. Does it live up to the hype? Maybe, a little bit. 6 Generations in, and five pairs of Fossil Pokemon later, we finally have an undeniable tyrannosaurus rex Pokemon. Well, you T-Rex fans have certainly waited long enough.
