After you first get introduced to Team Flare and chase them off, you get to choose and take a fossil ranging from two selections--Sail and Jaw. With Sail Fossil, you could get your hands on Amaura; with Jaw, you're able to get a hold of Tyrunt. So, anyhow, which did you wind up picking, and why? Also, what are your overall opinion on these Pokémon--do you like them, or not so much? Share your thoughts!

I picked Jaw, because I always go with what sounds more offensive. I hadnt actually looked up what I would be getting with either one.

When I got the fossil into a pokemon, I realized Id lucked out, as I had been hearing great things about that little t rex guy, I love pokes that pack a punch. But then I never even used him. Instead I got amaura in wonder trade and ended up using it all the way up to the elite 4. Only now, 70 hours into the game, am I even bothering to level up my tyrunt.

I chose Sail since Amaura was cute and my boyfriend was going with Jaw. Overall these are some of my favorite fossils but unfortunately my Amaura ended up being male and I was too lazy to breed a new one so it never made it onto my team. ):

I went with the Sail Fossil as well because I like Amaura's design, and even though mine was male (yeah it was a dude) I still used him for a bit. Refrigerate is a pretty cool ability I gotta admit since it made me actually want to use Normal-type moves on him. I currently gave my Aurorus the move Round so that he had something that would get the boost.

When I first played through X, I picked the Sail Fossil, but never used it. I've used Tyrantrum in two Y playthroughs before - a normal playthrough and a Red Mono-Color. It did me pretty well, even if it had a lot of weaknesses.

Between the Jaw and Sail Fossils, I went with the Sail Fossil for certain reasons. The main reason being that when I had planned my team, Amaura's evolved form, Aurorus was a member. Besides, Tyrantrum would have clashed with Noivern if I had chosen the Jaw Fossil.

I liked Aurorus's design but I ended up regretting choosing Sail. Ended up being my weakest Pokemon due to its absolutely terrible typing - the worst in the Pokemon universe. 4x weak to Fighting and Steel; 2x weak to Grass, Rock, Water, and Ground; no immunities to compensate for multiple weaknesses; and only resistant to Normal, Flying, Poison, and Ice. Almost everything had a move that could cause significant damage to it in a rather easy game already. That 4x to Fighting alone was particularly painful, even in-game. Yes, the game was easy, but this was the one mistake I made. Never. Again.

When Z comes out, I'm going Jaw and having a Tyrantrum on my team then.
This'll do for now.

When I got to that point on my Y, I picked the Jaw fossil. Like I said in the favorite Kalos pokes thread, Tyrantrum is my favorite 6th gen Pokemon. I do like Amaura/Aurorus as well. It is friggin' adorable. It's too bad Tyrantrum still doen't have Rock Head and Aurorus has such terrible defensive typing (but ironically good offensive typing).

I Nuzlocked my way through X, and Amaura's horrible typing made it a big no-no, so I went Jaw, and although Tyrantrum is a friggin' badass, and I picked him, I like Aurorus much better.

I chose both because I liked both fossils and have a tendency to pick out both if I have two games! Went with Sail in both playthroughs of Y and Jaw in both playthroughs of X. I also used Amaura/Aurorus in both playthroughs and Tyrunt/Tyrantrum in my first playthrough. Both were definitely plenty good in battle, though Aurorus's typing was a bit of a pain to deal with sometime. In terms of battling, Tyrantrum did way better, but I love Aurorus's design much more.

I was really pleased when the fossil pokemon were leaked this generation. I chose Amaura in game, but Tyrunt didn't make the decision easy. In almost all of the games prior to X and Y, the choice between fossils was made easily because I heavily favored one over the other. In this case, it was only a slight tilt towards Amaura. If I ever play through the games again, and I do plan on it when I have the time, I'll probably go with Tyrunt to try him out. n__n

I plan on picking the Jaw fossil. I really like both, but Tyrantrum is just so boss.

I was going with Sail Fossil, and the Pokemon which came from it, Amaura, is pretty cute. Not to mention its ability Refrigerator which is awesome as well.

I think they both looked awesome, but I chose the Sail fossil because, as most people put it, Amaura is adorable. And Aurorus is purdy. c: Even if they're mostly dudes.

As much as I like the designs, I regret not going with Tyrunt because the Rock/Dragon typing just would have been more useful to my team, and eventually I ended up boxing Aurorus after level 50 or so.

Like you, I also went with jaw and also I didn't look it up either but with every game, I dont really use the fossil pokemon at all, in-fact I just breed them and trade them on

i chose the sail fossil cause amaura was too darn cute to pass up. even if it's typing wasn't the most desirable. i might try getting the jaw fossil the next time i replay x. and test out tyrunt in battle, cause i've heard a lot of good things about it.

I went with the Sail Fossil. I thought Amaura was so adorable and couldn't wait to use her.
Tyrunt was cute too, I picked him in my first Y playthrough.

I thought they did a really good job of both fossils this time around.

I chose Jaw, because I really wanted to use Tyrantrum as part of my final in-game team and boy was it worth it :) It is a totally awesome Pokemon. Next time I play XY I am going to use Aurorus. They did a good job with the final stages this time around, I didn't like them at first but now they're really growing on me.

I really like the fossils of this generation, my preference was Tyrantrum just because I took an instant liking to its design when I first saw the released artwork but I also like Amaura cause it rhymes with my name and also sounds like "Aurora" beam which is one of my favourite moves haha :)

Jaw Fossil. Tyrantrum looks BADASS. Plus we finally had a T-Rex Fossil Pokemon. Plus the other one was not all that appealing, and its weaknesses really suck.

I, like pretty much everyone else apparently, too picked the Sail Fossil because, "Oooh. Pretty." I got a female and everything, but I used my Amaura for about thirty seconds before it got to sit in the box and look pretty. I really love the design quite a bit though, so maybe I'll use an Aurorus for a run one day when I feel patient enough to handle how flimsy it is.

Normally go Sail, will at some point try for girl from the Jaw.
Freeze Dry is superlative.

Rock-Dragon-Ghost Tyrantrum walks into Pyro Pete's Bar and Ghost Curses to some Stealth Rock.

I took the Jaw Fossil in both X and Y; Amaura has too many common weaknesses to make me not want to use it.
