let's see if I can remember:
> Kanto
Helix fossil, because helix sounded cooler than dome. I thought dome was a bulkier pokemon, & I had too many of those, so I wanted a speedy speed boy.
Imagine my shock when omastar was the exact opposite.
thank the various egyptian gods that I don't believe in that I also got the old amber. aerodactyl saved my asshole against the elite four.
> Johto
I got Old Amber from a rock smash somewhere. Aerodactyl is badass.
> HOEnn
root fossil for Cradily.
what?
don't look at me like that. I didn't know cradily was bad, okay?
> Sinnoh
shield fossil for bastiodon.
I thought rampardos looked fucking stupid, so I specifically chose literally anything but bastiodon.
> Unova
I got the cover fossil for carracosta in game-1, but in game-2 I got the feather fossil for Archeops.
> Kalos
got the sail fossil for aurorus. BEAUTIFUL pokemon. such a shame it's so bad...
> alola
I stole some girl's aerodactyl, but the FOSSIL I bought from Olivia's rock-shop was the scale fossil for armaldo.
> galar
PFFFTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
do you really expect me to buy that piece of shit, let alone play it up to wherever they give you fossils?
