Plume or Cover Fossil
 
In Black and White, you get the choice between Tirtouga (Cover) and Archen (Plume), which are the two fossil Pokemon introduced in these games. You can only choose one fossil to be revived - like past games.

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

Archen. I love birds. Birds are awesome. |D
Is Archen even a bird? :O

Haza February 24th, 2011 1:48 AM

I'm gonna have both Black and White so I'm getting both. If it came down to it I wouldnt be able to choose because this is the first time in the history of Pokemon that I've liked both Fossil Pokemon...

Chiar February 24th, 2011 1:54 AM

It is actually possible to get both fossils in one game. The one you haven't chosen is in N's Castle.
I don't like the fossils, so i won't use them anyway.
But, if I would have to choose, I would take Archeops. I just think it's more useful in battles than Carracosta.

Really? :(
Well there are also other fossils to be obtained but I didn't include them. I'll just say if you had to choose between the two in the first post. ^___^

Anyways, Tirtouga for me <3 Such an adorable Pokemon.

Sabrewulf238 February 24th, 2011 2:34 AM

Obviously if I can get both eventually then I will get both....why wouldn't I? Why wouldn't anyone? :S

I'll probably get Tirtouga first and then Archen afterwards.

Yeah it is that is why I'm getting that one.

I'll eventually get the Wing fossil as well though.

razzbat February 24th, 2011 2:49 AM

i don't really like either pokemon, so the only use they'll be to me is to fill my pokedex. but man that bird at the end was a pain to beat.

PlatinumDude February 24th, 2011 2:58 AM

I chose the Wing Fossil because it revives Archen. And Archeops hits hard, assuming it's at more than 50% health.

Weavile05 February 24th, 2011 3:56 AM

I want Archen on my team, so I'll pick that one.

~Wind~ February 24th, 2011 5:41 AM

I will choose Tirtouga, I love turtles (An old thing that was started by sonic heroes XD), it's cute in 1st form, cool in second, and I find Archeops' ability to be annoying. D:<

Superjub February 24th, 2011 6:01 AM

I like turtles.
I actually like the look of Tirotouga. Abagoura looks alright too. They remind me of the Squirtle line a little bit. But they are both based of the same animal, so yeah. Archen looks alright too, but reminds me of Aerodactyl. I'm going to go for Tirotouga because it looks quite cute. :>

Velvex the Øverlørd February 24th, 2011 6:42 AM

I actually really love both Tirtuga and Archen, I think this is the first generation where I've liked both fossil Pokemon a lot. Gen I it was Kabutops all the way for me, Gen III I went with Armaldo, and Gen IV I chose Ramparados without a doubt, but this Generation both fossils really appeal to me. I think I will probably choose the wing fossil first, and get the shell/lid fossil later on.

Sabrewulf238 February 24th, 2011 7:34 AM

I see you changed the poll question...

I want to change my vote to Shell/Lid fossil from both now since the question changed and the answer I gave isn't my answer anymore...

TehPsychicTypeMaster February 24th, 2011 8:31 AM

I don't like neither, I'll just get them both to fill up my Pokedex. I'm not to fond of them, despite this is the first generation that I've actually liked the fossils.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 24th, 2011 9:58 AM

Shell as the ancient Turtle is Epic :D!
Plus the bird isn't as colorful as I hoped...

twistedpuppy February 24th, 2011 10:18 AM

Which did you / will you pick first and why?
I want me a turtle. It's so friggin' adorable. Tirtouga of course.

Kikaito plush February 24th, 2011 10:27 AM

The wing fossil for sure, I love that Bird pokemon!

Nameless. February 24th, 2011 12:38 PM

Shell fossil for me. :D
I don't particularly like the ancient birdy. It's pre-evo is really cute, but when it evolves, it's not very likeable anymore to me. I love the turtle though!
I want to use one on a competitive team someday, like Trick Room or something. I have yet to even revive my fossil though, and I have a feeling I'll procrastinate it for a long time. >w>;


grodkorv February 24th, 2011 1:15 PM

i will probably go with tirtouga aswell, it's adoreable! :D

Zerrah. February 24th, 2011 1:40 PM

I think my boyfriend prefers the Pokemon from the Shell fossil, so I will get the one from the Wing, and we'll breed one for each other. Am I wrong in assuming they're breedable? (O_O);

インフェルノの津波 February 24th, 2011 2:27 PM

Both are surprisingly powerful, Tirtouga has the broken Shell Break while Archen is the 5th generation's Aerodactyl with a bad ability.

But I like the bird better, the turtle I won't have much use for. Besides, I'd rather my Rock type have an immunity.

ManhattanTheStarr February 24th, 2011 4:22 PM

I actually like both these fossil Pokemon a lot. Tirtouga and Archen (that the right name?) are adorable. <3 But Archen's evolution's baldness bothers me (yeah, Archen is bald too, but it makes it work :B). So whenever I get Black, I'll choose the Lid Fossil first.

Angelique February 24th, 2011 7:29 PM

Aww yeahh, shell fossil! I loved its design before I found out its dub name, which is equally amazing. Carracosta~

No, they are breedable. :)
