  • i guess tpps reign is over

    Joking aside I don't even remember, mostly because I don't use fossils in the first place. I just picked a random one so I could go on, save for the time I wanted to replicate the team used in TPP.

  • I always picked Dome Fossil. Kabutops has a sleek design and good attack that appeals to me. It's my pick over the Helix Fossil since Red & Blue.

    I raised and evolved Kabuto, but Aerodactyl was on my Fire Red team.

    I chose the Helix fossil, but didn't actually know what it did. :|

    That's what I think too. Kabutops always seemed pretty badass. When I first played through I was too young to really understand the usefulness of the Pokemon I was using so I just used the ones that looked the coolest. And Kabutops was one of my favourites.

    Fossil pokemon are always hard to train though, so i rarely bother anymore.

  • I selected dome most of the time cause kabutops seems stronger than omanyte and sometimes I chose helix also well it wasn't much of a difference as both had same advantages and disadvantages.

  • I can't really say they have the same advantages and disadvantages. Kabutops is physically focused, Omastar is specially faocused.

    I chose the Dome fossil because that is what I chose in Red, and at the time, I liked Kabutops better than Omastar. (My feelings about them are mixed now, though.) I also had a friend who chose the other fossil, so I figured that as long as we each picked one, we could breed and trade them, so it didn't matter too much.

    In Red, I picked the Dome fossil by chance, probably because it's the first one I encountered. I knew nothing about either one of them. I never used the fossil Pokemon in my RBY teams, though, and in FRLG, I trained Kabuto, but didn't care too much about it.

    I've always gone for the dome fossil because I really like Kabutops. Don't get me wrong, Omastar is awesome but I just prefer Kabutops!

  • All hail Lord Helix!

    Ever since I first made this decision at the age of around 6, not knowing what was going to be resurrected from the fossil, I had a lot of hope. But honestly, I was impressed with the outcome. I loved the Omanyte that I received and eventually evolved it for it to become an Omastar. I've tried to use Omastar in as many playthroughs as I can. So yeah, I pick the Helix Fossil all the time. Omastar isn't the best competitive battler, but I love it in game and it's been a favourite from a very young age.

    No, really. I have always preferred Omanyte/Omastar over Kabuto/Kabutops. When I played Red, this was my solid decision for all games afterwards. I'm not entirely sure why, but maybe it's because Omanyte looked more "nautical" than Kabuto.

  • I always went for the Dome fossil. I preferred Kabutops over the other pokemon. But I would never use it. xD Always would end up putting it in the pc and use other pokemon instead.

  • Dome. Always chose Dome. Don't like Omanyte that much at all. Kabuto/Kabutops is much more cooler.

    Helix Fossil for Gen III. :P Omanyte looks cute while I prefer Kabutops, which Kabuto's evolution, if compared to Omastar.

  • Most definitely Dome. I just prefer Kabutops, and I always have. From his offensive power, to his powerful set ups in the Rain, to the Genesect/Kabutops theory, there's a lot more reason to like Kabutops than Omastar, imo~

  • I'm picking based on general preference here. Helix Fossil is the one I love better here, and no it's not TPP popularity but because I love Omanyte's design and stats better than Kabuto's.

  • Dome fossil is cool. Although at my first playthrough of FR/LG I chose helix fossil because it sounded cooler. A few months I got bored since I finished the game so I decided to re-play it again. Choosing the Dome fossil this time. It evoled to Kabutops. It has a slick design with those scythes! But I think it's a tie? Since Omanyte was cute looking, but it turned wicked sick as an Omastar

  • Dome for me purely because of Kabutops and my overwhelming preference of it over Omanyte/Omastar. The first few times I played this game, I blindly chose any fossil and just boxed them and left them unused. There have been times, however, where I have wanted to raise them and use them properly. I just preferred using Kabutops in the end, simply put.
