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?

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...

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.

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

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

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. :>

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.

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>;

Zerrah.

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);

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.

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.
