    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.

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

    No, they are breedable. :)

    I find Archen to be absolutely adorable so I will choose the Wing Fossil. I love Archeops too because it is really good in battles and it has the most amazing design <3 I don't really care for the turtles much :(

    I plan on getting both via two games. :D
    I'll probably get the shell fossil on White, and the lid fossil on Black.

    Woot? o_O
    I have just checked Serebii and it didn't say that the fossils can only be chosen once, in Relic Castle. Did Bulbapedia actually lie? I'm a bit confused.
    I guess that the fossils can be obtainable only once, like we thought previously. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Definitely the Wing fossil!

    Aaken is my dream Pokemon!! I have ALWAYS dreamed of them making my favourite dinosaur into a Pokemon!

    It's based on Archeopteryx and I'm literally obsessed with that dinosaur/ancestor of modern birds.

    Archeops for me.
    Wait a second, in Spiral Mountain a man gives you a fossil every day (after National Dex), he should give you also the other 5th gen fossil, right?

    I shall be picking the lid fossil when I start my journey through Unova. I just love everything about Carracosta, it's design, it's typing, and
    especially it's ever-so-dependable ability, Sturdy. While I'm not going to use it for certain, there's a good chance it will find its way on to my team, should
    I ever need a Water or Rock type.

    I'll get one in each game (not sure which one I'll do in which game yet). I'll probably get the Shell/Lid Fossil in my main game, as turtles are awesome (coming from a Blastoise fan).
