The Dinodex Introduction

Turning dinosaurs into a pokémon-like game! I will (try to) turn all 1000+ dinosaurs into pokémon-like characters.

I’m only working on valid dinosaurs, and only dinosaurs, no pterosaurs or marine reptiles.

I will not be making art(okay I might make art), a game, or any media for this project. It is an entirely text-based passion project.

This project is also not meant to be paleoaccurate and will incorporate small fantastical elements, however, I will try to stick to realism.

Types:

Theropod-type Strong against: Sauropod, Ornithopod Weak against: Stegosaur, Ankylosaur Resistant to: Ornithopod

Therizinosaur-type Strong against: Ceratopsian Weak against: Ornithopod Resistant to: Theropod

Sauropod-type Strong against: Sauropod, Ankylosaur Weak against: Sauropod Resistant to: Ornithopod, Stegosaur, Ceratopsian

Stegosaur-type Strong against: Theropod, Ceratopsian Weak against: Ankylosaur, Ornithopod Resistant to: None

Ankylosaur-type Strong against: Theropod, Stegosaur Weak against: Sauropod Resistant to: Theropod

Ornithopod-type Strong against: Therizinosaur, Stegosaur Weak against: Theropod, Ceratopsian Resistant to: Ankylosaur

Ceratopsian-type Strong against: Ornithopod Weak against: Therizinosaur, Stegosaur Resistant to: Theropod
