Smogon Forums

Definitely, I'm thinking one on the UBs would be appropriate timing-wise, but one on prehistoric 'mons would also be a fun chapter. Of course, I'd be hesitant to do such an entry without input from the most eminent Pokemon archaeologist here on Smogon... :>

Ahh, so astrobiology? Not really my field of expertise, but interesting nonetheless. ^^

But prehistoric Pokemon seem like something that absolutely has to be covered in the series eventually. I'll personally see to it if necessary!

Of course, I'd hope you'd allow me to say a bit about the Aurorus family. Pokemon whose habitat is the freezing cold are my specialty (see Alolan Ninetales), even if they are prehistoric. :>

So you're now an Ice type specialist because of Alolan Ninetales? That's what I call dedication. :D

Yes, I'm an expert on the Alolan Ninetales line, the Alolan Sandslash family, the Froslass line, the Dewgong family, and Lapras. I've also done much research on adaptation of Eevee to cold climates known as Glaceon. Not only that, but I'm a foremost expert on the myths and legends surrounding the legendary Articuno. I'm only as familiar with the Fairy type as I am with the Ice type.

I, too, have spent some years researching Lapras in the northern regions, as it shows some interesting remnant characteristics that have been previously only known from the fossil records. I've also been part of the team that studied the recent resurgence of Mamoswine populations and traced it back to the reactivation of inactive genes in modern Piloswine through Ancient Power in especially cold areas.

In the recent years, I've been shifting my field of interest towards the growth and migration of Avalugg in both present and past by analyzing the tracks they leave behind in rocks, and thus hopefully gaining insight on climate trends that occured in younger earth history.

I'm planning on actually doing that Fossil 'mon Pokemon Biology chapter. Would you be interested on coming on as a co-writer? Or perhaps I could do an interview with you to include in it? Like how some scientific articles include an interview with an expert. :>

I'd love to! We could split up the Pokemon or something. ^^
