the blow mechanic in this game is still pretty awesome to this day lol

Core memory for a kid who loves dinosaurs but better in every conceivable way

Goated game. Played it a million times as a dinosaur-obsessed kid. The combination of discovering fossils, cleaning those fossils, reviving dinosaur pals from said fossils, and then fighting OTHER revived dinosaurs with YOUR revived dinosaurs was like crack cocaine for me as a kid. I'm still recovering.

Two of my friends also had this game and so we'd battle each other with our vivosaurs. I always lost because I sucked. Good times.


Fossil Fighters but now you fight a skull emoji instead of aliens.

weirdly enough, this game felt like a bit of a step down for me from the original. the story was MUCH less fun this time around, although i admit i may have had a bad taste in my mouth from the stupid final boss with a, like, 5 minute unskippable cutscene beforehand that i just couldn't beat. this game felt like it was exclusively for children, with no ability for adults to enjoy it (and i say this as someone who has played both games as an adult), and it just felt more... generic?

I will never stop singing this games praises. I want to be popular on Twitter/YouTube only so I can push the Fossil Fighters propoganda. I just replayed it again on stream earlier in 2021 and it's even better the second time.
It's not perfect but it's pretty close tbh.
This game expands on everything from the first game and just makes it better in every way.
Gameplay is sick and very deep when you experiment with team composition.
I love dinosaurs and I can name 30 off the top of my head because of this game.

The music is unnaturally good and rivals soundtracks of modern games. Listen to the Rainbow Canyon theme when you get a chance.

The worst thing about this game is that it ends.

Some jank here and there does not stop FFC from being one of the best monster taming RPGs on the DS, beating Pokemon in several aspects, including battle system and post game activities.

This game has copious amounts of sex

The second iteration of Pokemon with Dinosaurs improved on it's predecessor quite a bit by adding more dinos and more depth to combat.

One of my favorite childhood games growing up

It's like the original but MORE!!!! and of course a different story and setting...
Need more sequels that just do the same thing but better.

insanely good plus the dino girl is hot

Not a Pokemon clone. The fights are fun enough, and can even be tricky at times, though my main draw has always been the reviving process. The story is surprisingly kinda good. It's cheesy, no doubt, but there are some genuinely cool/interesting plot elements and character moments.

Molto carino tutto l'aspetto diciamo da giochetto coi mostri, il problema è l'estrema e costante infantilità che è molta meno nascosta che in un pokemon a causa dei continui dialoghi. Di per sé non è un difetto, però in questo caso l'ho trovato particolarmente noioso a differenza dei combattimenti che seppur semplicissimi erano divertenti grazie a tutti i design dei vari dinosauri

Story was surprisingly even better than the first and it seems like others agree. I would pay 60 bucks for a Switch remaster of the original and these games.

Hidden gem of a game. Unironically a masterpiece. Fantastic and deep combat system, great atmosphere and music, addicting collectathon gameplay, and a pretty damn good story for a kid's game.

Ooooooh yeah oooooooooohhohooooh yeah I had so much fun playing this game

If the DS Pokemon games weren't absolutely stellar, I would say FFC was the best monster-taming game of the console

Slight improvment over the first entry, but not enough to hold my attention.


my most heavily anticipated game, and one of my favorite jrpgs ever made. the gameplay was not too expanded on compared to the first, but the story and its characters i found more investing and charming, especially rupert, todd, and the sideplots with the tribes. truly one of my favorite worlds, and an underrated gem of the jrpgs.

You revive dinosaurs and have them fight what’s not to love
