Talk:Tyrunt (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

I think it's a Carnotaurus. Because of the obvious horns/spikes on its nose. T-rex do not have those. It's like the signature of Carnotaurus however. (But I wouldn't put it past them to make it evolve into a T-rex.) [[User:Icer|Icer]] ([[User talk:Icer|talk]]) 14:37, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

:But Carnotaurus didn't have a spike on its tail or a ruff around its neck (and also had four digits on the hand). I'm not seeing a very physiologically correct analogue to any specific large theropod species, if you want to get that specific (the proportions are all wrong for a juvenile, the toes are splayed too far, the upper jaw has fang-like protrusions while the lower jaw only has two teeth, etc.). This is informed speculation, at best, on my part, but it seems like the translation teams for the games (at least from Japanese into English) work closely with the Japanese team to ensure the international names of the Pokemon stay close to the creators' intentions. The fact that the Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Italian names all reference the word "Tyrannosaurus" is pretty good evidence to me that that's the primary species Game Freak wanted to reference in Tyrunt's design.
