Which did you / will you pick and why? Or will you get both fossils through another game?


I ended up choosing the Cover Fossil. Funny story actually, I was watching Tosh.0 and he was making a turtle joke as I was trying to decide which fossil I should take, as I love them both, and so I chose the Cover Fossil. I named him Tosh and never looked back. I love Archen too, but now I have a little soft spot for Tirtouga.

He also helped me a lot on my final battle with Ghetis and the Elite Four (the first time that is).

I chose the plume fossil because I needed a pokemon who could fly and archen was one of my choices so I decided to get him. Also I started with oshawott, so i didn't need another water pokemon for my team.

I chose clover as Carracosta is now apart of my team

TURTLE POWER

Carracosta is definitely my favorite fossil Pokemon in the history of ever. Like, seriously. I wouldn't nab any other fossil Pokemon if I had the choice. :D

Ipicked archen the first time around, but when I restart it I'm picking tirtouga for sure since on my second game I'll be using my favorite pokemon so I have to say that I love carracosta, reminds me a lot of blastoise.

I picked the Plume fossil. Archen is cooler imo, mostly because he's part flying type.

Archeops is by far better with its OUTRAGEOUS Attack stat and Speed and two STAB BP 100+ attacks with great neutral coverage and access to U-turn scouting and the classic Edge-Quake, its a beast of a revenge killer or cleaner in OU.

I got Tirtouga, didn't raise it thought,
IF i get Black I will choose Archen Even though its epicly ugly

Sol Rovyn April 5th, 2011 7:08 AM

I prefer Tirtouga over Archen, so I chose the Cover fossil. Archeops is outclassed by so many other flying types and it's ability, Defeatist, could pose quite a bit of problems.

Dawn April 5th, 2011 8:14 AM

I chose me the turtle. |D

Course... wound up dropping him later in the game for cooler pokemon. I think it was Vanillite?

nate890 April 5th, 2011 11:33 AM

I got the plume fossil and i regret it. Sure archen is a good pokemon until it loses half its HP then its absolutly awful.

Mahtale April 5th, 2011 12:27 PM

I am surprised how even this poll is! I chose the Plume Fossil. It was a difficult choice, though not because I liked them both; in fact, it was for the opposite reason. I thought the fossil Pokemon of this generation were both sub-par.

Carracosta is a monster online and in-game. What are you talking about?

Once I start Black I'm getting Archeops! White is still my main game though and I won't be playing Black for a long time I'm sure.

I picked plume, because I liked the name, but now I'm looking at Archen on Serebii and wishing I got the Cover fossil :/

miakalina April 5th, 2011 2:50 PM

I have both versions so I'll have both, but if I didn't I would choose Tirtouga. <3
