Which fossil did you choose?
I'm making my way through Mt. Moon and trying to decide which one I should pick. I like Kabuto's line better but I always pick that! Should I try Omanyte's instead? Which one do you pick?
|
Dome fossil! I love Kabuto. One of the most interesting Pokemon in the franchise imho :)
If you already have games with Kabuto, take Helix, just for the sake of variety...or...take the Dome cos its awesome! > : D |

I have both Pokemon in another file, so I think I'm going to go with the Dome fossil again anyways :) |

Good luck :D |
I went with the Dome Fossil. I prefer the Kabuto line to the Omantye line, though I don't think I've used them much. I wanna say I've used them at least once in FRLG, which isn't a lot. I replayed those a lot as a kid, haha.
|
I chose the Dome Fossil, and had I not already caught a Staryu to take the role of my Water type, I would've used Kabutops in my first play-through of Kanto. I like its design more than most other fossils, to be honest. Its appearance in the [email protected] anime movie helped with this decision as well. n__n
|
I find Omastar generally a better fighter than Kabutops. Plus hail Helix.
|
I think I took the Helix fossil as Omymte is cuter and has an better typing that Kabuto line.
|
^ Omanyte and Kabuto both have the same type.
I always pick the Dome fossil whenever I feel like adding it to the team. I just like Kabutops over Omastar. The first time I've played through Kanto was the only time I picked the Helix fossil, but that was only because I forgot which Pokémon came from which fossil. I was disappointed when I got Omanyte, but when I decided to use him anyway, he was an awesome member of the team. After that though, I always go for Dome. Helix is cool, but still. Hail Dome! |
I wound up choosing Dome, because I'm a huge fan of Kabutops. It might not be that great Speed or defensive-wise, but it's Attack stat is extremely high, so it could strike down any of your opponent with only one blow. If you manage to set up Swords Dance, you should be all set for sweeping. Omastar's okay, but I just don't like its design very much.
|
I only ever got the Helix Fossil. I prefer Omanyte and Omastar much more than Kabuto and Kabutops, especially in games where Water is a special attacking type, and Kabutops learns so many great special attacks and very few physical ones. Plus the Oma-line is just way cuter. <3
|
Sorry Lord Helix, but I always chose the Dome Fossil. I loved Kabutops design way more than it, and its abilities in competitive battling have always made me sway more to him.
|
Dome Fossil, if that's for Kabuto then the Dome Fossil!
|
I chose the Helix fossil out of ignorance. I prefer Kabutops.
|
Seeing as I'd already had a Kabutops traded to me on Sapphire, I went with the Helix Fossil in FireRed. To be honest, I've never cared for either of the original fossil families, so they'd always end up stuck in a PC box for the majority of my game.
|
I used Kabutops in Diamond, and it was really awesome. I honestly don't think I should suggest anything, since I never used Omanyte and I don't really like its design, ahah.
|
I went with Helix. <3 Kabutops wasn't as good until the physical/special split in the fourth generation so I let him be for a while.. though I also never did use Omastar either, lol. Either way I found it to be the better of the two design-wise plus the fossil name sounded cooler.
|
I have reset both my FR and LG so much, but I usually went with the Helix Fossil first (I'd take the Dome in the other game) simply because Lord Helix I thought the name sounded cooler and didn't really like either Omastar and Kabutops.
|
Helixfossil is the best my friends ;D
|
Screw Omanyte and Kabutops. All about mah boi Aerodactyl.
|
I always picked Dome Fossil till Twitch plays Pokemon made us workship the Helix Fossil. I now always pick Helix for variety, but i don' really keep either in my party, since by the time you get them, they will be way underleveled unless you want to grind.
|
Both of them are two of the best fossil Pokémon in any game in my opinion, though I feel Cradily and Armaldo are the overall kings.
I prefer the Helix fossil, simply because I adore the design of Omastar, the story behind it going 'extinct' and it's Special Attacker advantage. I always did prefer Special over Physical. Kabutops got nerfed big time in Gen IV. It had the potential to be one of the benefiting Pokémon thanks to the Special/Physical split but GameFreak took gave it no moves. Poor Kabutops. |
I am always forgetting which one is which, so I usually just pick at random.
Although, I much rather prefer Kabutops while taking on the Elite Four. |
I totally chose Omanyte. He's cool, slow, and bulky. Like a tank. I was never fond of Kabuto or it's evolution. He looked too much like a bug Pokemon...
|
For some reason, I ALWAYS pick dome fossil...dat kabutops....oh yah....
To be quite honest, I think it may have been a result of an episode of Pokemon that got me to subconsciously demand the dome fossil every single f*****g time. No real rhyme or reason, just...dat kabutops. |
Since I like Omastar more, I always take Helix Fossil. Omastar has pretty good SP.Atk and Def. I sometimes used it for E4.
|
I took the Dome Fossil (by chance) when I first played Red, so I took the same one in LG as well to get my Kabuto. I don't tend to use either fossil that much, as I use my starter (Blastoise) as my water-type in those games. I've grown to like Omastar a lot more than I used to, but if I were to play through Kanto again, I'd probably still pick the Dome Fossil out of habit.
|
Both are equally as cool! But I went with the Dome Fossil <3 You gotta love that Kabutops, though. It's power is mint clean, and it just looks soo cool! You can't forget the Helix, though. I haven't used it, although I'd assume it's bulky in its Defences.
|
I was never a fan of Kabutops & Omastar but I went with Helix Fossil because it just sounded cooler then Dome Fossil
|
Helix Fossil. Third Generation Pokemon Games, Rock type moves' damage are calculated with Attack, while Water type attacks are calculated with Special Attack. Water type moves shouldn't be taught to Kabutops, as Kabutops' stats focuses on attack. There aren't any powerful Rock-type attacks that Kabutops can learn in FireRed. Because Omastar's stronger offense is Special Attack, it should learn Surf and Hydro Pump, both of which are quite strong Special attacks that Omastar can learn.
|
I never really cared, until TwitchPlaysPokemon came around and I got into the craze with Lord Helix. So now, I am always obligated to pick the Helix fossil lol
|
I like both Omanyte and Kabuto but I'd usually go with the Helix fossil simply because I prefer my water Pokemon to be specially based rather than physical. At least that's what I thought before the physical/special split.
|
Dome fossil cause Kabutops its cool and have nice stats
|
|
I keep switching between, I don't really which one I like better. Kabuto's pretty cool but Omanyte is so cute. I'll never make up my mind.
