=Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald

Aerodactyl is a Pokémon from the age of dinosaurs. It was regenerated from DNA extracted from amber. It is imagined to have been the king of the skies.

Name origin

Aerodactyl's name may be a pun, combining aero, Greek for air, with the similar sounding pterodactyl. Its Japanese name is simply a shortening of the word pterodactyl.

It appears to be based upon pterosaurs, prehistoric flying reptiles.
