More science, less fighting: Someone, please, take this idea and run with it!
Well, yes and no. It's nice to get to play around with the dinos, which are grouped into early, middle and late sections of the Cretaceous and Jurassic, respectively (what, no Triassic?!) but it's still a fighting game. The unexpected bonus for me, as a 46-yr-old mom, has been learning just how my Pokemon-loving son keeps All That Stuff in his brain. It sticks pretty quickly and easily, I was surprised!
However, even just a tiny bit more dino-realism would have been easy to achieve and much appreciated. In a battle with a Plesiosaur, for instance, one should not get a message saying, "You were not able to outrun your opponent!" : )
In my dream world, the Museum of Natural History would team up with Nintendo to make some fabulous guide-games that taught one about the sciences, using the collections and scholars of the museum as info.
Wouldn't it be neat to try to build the tree of life using cladistic information, or even-- just think!-- helping to identify the endless archived little bits sitting in dusty boxes in the museum's basements? The possibilities are endless.
