Developers: RED Entertainment, Spike Chunsoft
Localization: 8-4
Main Genre: JRPG
Specific subgenres: Monster collection, Dinosaur RPG, fossil digging
Price: $29.99
Release Date: eShop: 9 PM PT March 19th, retail: March 20th.
You are a candidate to become a Warden to help protect the world's Fossil Parks. Congratulations! Enjoy meeting new people and discovering new areas. Eventually, however, trouble will start brewing. The BR Brigade will appear on the scene and start stirring up trouble. Who knows what their plans are?
After the credits, enjoy a relatively non-linear scenario where you help various characters out, both ones you already know and new potential allies. The post-game doesn't have a linear plot, but there are a few bombs dropped, well, bombs as far as kid-oriented games go at least. The post-game's big enough to have its own ending, too, so be a good Samaritan and go for it!
It's not a mind-blowing story but it's pretty cute and enjoyable overall.
Penny: Your typical Mary Sue cleric-type character... Or is she? She could be a Super Mary Sue, or a rebel, or a rebellious Mary Sue, or a... You get the point. Play to find out if she really is a true Mary Sue!
Roland: A pretty timid, rotund boy. Hmm... I wonder what's at the cause of his shyness?
Dalia: A girl that's in love with drivin' as fast as she can in a Bone Buggy and aimin' for fast times in Time Attacks. Gotta go fast! But, you can't help but wonder how well a young girl like her can drive...
Leon: He's a lone wolf who feels that he can do everything by himself. Is he really that badass, or will you need to go set him straight?
Nate: A drama queen. A true, modern day drama queen. Er, at least he uses a vivosaur that is a really good team player; his Edapho will get your Boost Gauge filled up rickety-split. His uncommon LP Recovery support short is a boon, too. So yeah, he's useful! ...Yeah that's about his one redeeming quality.
Meet these Paleo Pals and many more throughout your adventure! Party up with your favorites or try to create the most optimal team you can... It's up to you!
Explore sizable areas! Try to find hidden areas to find new fossils, challenge Challenge Routes for rare fossils and loss of sanity, and more!

Once you find a fossil, dig it up! Enjoy digging up much bigger fossils than in past entries, but do take breaks from digging on a regular basis if you're sane.
After digging up fossils, reviving vivosaurs, and refining their movesets with your preferred mix of normal and rare fossils, go enjoy battles! Oh, but don't be dumb with your support shots, that can bite you in the ass and cause you to have to grind more than required later on.
You drive around in a vehicle called a Bone Buggy. Upgrade it to make jumps you couldn't before and to just go a lot faster in general. You start out in a slow piece of shit, but slowly but surely you'll build up some beast buggies that go pretty fast. A few of the vehicles also have special qualities that you'll want to keep in mind when choosing which one to bring with you to a Challenge Route or when digging in specific areas.
I could go into details on these but who cares because DINOSAURS ARE AWESOME so I'll just provide some concept art with absolutely no explanation whatsoever:
Q: Where can I find...?
A: Here you go. Ask in thread if you got something more specific.
Q: Where's this sidequest item found?
A: [spoilers]First one: Near last SS point. Rest: Search for a wall full of jewels. Should be on that wall somewhere.[/spoilers]
Q: How do I beat this stupid boss fight?
A: Reexamine your team and support shot strategy and try to figure out what went wrong. There are a few battles in the game where just rushing into things can result in failure; the game's on the easier side of things, but it's not like past Fossil Fighters where you don't have to try at all. You'll need to try at least a little bit. In most cases you can just grind tournaments if all else fails, though.
Q: What's a strong team?
A: To start off with, slap three vivosaurs with the ability Ally Stats Up together. That ability stacks and at max rank every vivosaur on your team will get 20-something points added to their Attack and Defense, along with a good Speed boost. So you'll have really good stats by default and then just have to focus on choosing good movesets and support shots that go well with your Paleo Pals' support shots. There are other good team formations too but that is probably the simplest one.
Q: How do I upgrade my license?
A: Do Seven Scramble tournaments, to the highest level you can, everyday. Eventually you should get that S Rank license. Then to increase your Warden Rank you just do Missions for the necessary points.
Q: The vivosaur in this Challenge Route won't change, even after I beat it. Is there a way to get them to change?
A: You need to leave the area completely and then reenter. Most Challenge Routes are near teleportation points so it's usually not a big deal to exit and then quickly reenter.
Q: My friend's vivosaurs use less FP than mine!
A: In this game, the better you clean your fossils the less FP a move costs. Therefore, clean your fossils better.
Q: My Paleo Pals are missing some fossils. Is there a way to hook them up?https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nYJXpC3v0_xL_n0MMXfXRY8EhZYJRpVfmSqiiLyENHw/edit?usp=sharing
A: If you clean a fossil that you already have a higher-point copy of then it will go to a Paleo Pal by default. You can also use this to lower the FP costs of your pals' attacks.
Q: What determines what fossil I get from a Challenge Route?
A: RNG determines the vivosaur. In the case of non-whole body fossils, the body part you get is determined by the search radar level you have equipped. The location spreadsheet has the required radar levels.
Q: This game looks like a shitty Pokemon knock-off.
A: That's not a question.
Q: Doing post-game, I'm stuck. Help!
A: Look in all the rooms again. If that fails, try looking here:
