fun fact:
the first game went as far as having multiple romantic partner options. yes you can date the fossil girl who helps you out or date the dino girl.
comparing that to frontier is.... sad.

Old school fossil fighters fans when they see how awful Frontier is: Look how they massacred my boy

I remember absolutely loving the first game. Staying up late past bedtime, sneaking around at night to go grab my DS off the charger, trying to make the click clacks of the DS opening and closing as silent as possible, just to play fossil fighters and Pokemon ranger. Those were the days.

I played THE SHIT out of this as a kid and didn’t realize how much I missed it until now


I also forgot just how much crack the story writers were on

The fact that fossil fighters had good 3D graphics only two years after Pokemon Diamond and peril were barely chugging along with 3D modes shows how well they hold up. Fossil fighters was the first game I ever spent over 100 hours on one save file.

I’m not letting it die! When I’m done with college, I’m making a remake of fossil fighters champions! Have hope!

I really miss Fossil Fighters. Champions is easily my favorite of the trilogy with Frontier being my least. The series deserved to go out on a better note.

I remember tricking my mother into buying the first game when I was 6, when the only other game I had was Pokémon Platinum and never once did I see this game as a Pokémon clone. Also Frontier broke my soul, the story was sick, but beside that, it never held a candle it’s predecessors.

IGN: "Final Fantasy is just a ripoff of Dragon Quest, 5.9 out of 10."

Oh man I’m so glad I’m finding more and more people actually liking and recognize Fossil Fighters and FF Champions


Frontier was such a massive disappointment and it’s good people can let that dissolve into the ether, hopefully since Nintendo purchased the ip they might do something but rn I’m just gonna hope for the best


Great video dude

It’s sad that the series kind of went by the wayside (I was SOOOOO excited for Frontier, until I actually played it and was disappointed). Thankfully though, the rather small fandom around it is SUPER dedicated.
The battle style is so unique and strategic, and pulled it off a lot better than Pokémon triple battles that came after.

I almost never sell or return games; I got rid of Frontier within 3 days. I loved the first two so much; they had a stronger system to work with and just ignored it. The only positive thing about it is I liked how some areas had wandering wild vivosaurs despite it not making sense lore wise.

Champions is my favorite Fossil Fighter game. Btw, in Fossil Fighter Champions there is an NPC staff at one of the areas that says this when you speak to him:

"Fast cars are exciting, right? Maybe we could have people battle while driving around a racetrack!"

He quickly follows it up with:

"...No, you're right. That's a dumb idea."

P.S. They were right lmao.

It’s so good people are remembering this game, I was obsessed with the series.

Dude... So many youtubers are talking about fossil fighters all of a sudden and i LOVE IT

I would love them to make a fossil fighters for the switch! As someone who dreamed of becoming a paleontologist this was one of my favorite game franchises

This reminded me of a anime I used to watch when I was a kid called " Dinosaur King " , I loved the intro cuz it had dancing dinosaurs and the dinosaurs evolved and devolved like Digimon .

I remember replaying Champions over and over again because it had a New Game + feature so you could keep all your old vivosaurs. I wish Pokémon had a feature like that

13:24 had me briefly panicked, seeing the Miraculous Fossil screen with the Hammer tool active.

One false move... /*shudders*
