Trivia

  • The Ruins of Alph in the games is entirely different and focuses on the Unown.
  • Archaeology currently dates the first Pokémon at 2 million years ago, though a Kabutops fossil had been discovered that is 20 to 30 thousand years older than that.
  • Like life on Earth, the prevailing theory is that Pokémon life began in the sea.
  • The English title is a reference to "fossil fuels".
