Best thing to come out from the national dex cull is that there's a chance that he won't exist in any future game

Any one who hates him is a zoomer, he's one of the coolest pokemon if you chose his fossil on your first pokemon experience and weren't expecting him
Kabutos does suck though

Honestly among the best designs in the series. No matter what kind of taste you have Kabutops' design is just undeniably cool as fuck and looks great. Great concept, inspiration, and execution. It's only flaw is that it was victim to getting the generic gen 1 angry eyes over Kabuto's more ominous red circles. Still looks great but it would have been nice to have it with more unique and otherworldly eyes.

To be fair if you don't know his evolution, Kabuto looks way uglier than Omanyte

Shiny Kabutops should be changed to orange or red to look like a giant shrimp/lobster monster. The green is lame.

I look forward to using this guy when I eventually get around to playing Ultra Moon. Seems like the only game where he's not a total liability.

Kabutops looks rad as hell. I also got a Kabuto toy from Burger King IIRC from a kid's meal.

Kabutops is great. Easily one of my favourite gen 1 Pokémon. He has such a simple, yet cool design (although that description applies to a lot of gen 1 Pokémon). I’ve always had an appreciation for fast physical attackers.

You will die alone on that hill. Kabutops were obviously based on trilobites, or perhaps horseshoe crabs. Genesect have visible insectoid abdomen that Kabutops are lacking. The "300 million years ago" are either an oversight or coincidence. We all know that; Prof Oak is a hack, and GF is terribly incompetent.

one of the coolest fucking pokemon ever and no one can even refute that. this was my favourite card as a kid and loved seeing it in the anime as well, too bad it didn't get much spotlight in that episode.

Sorry but real world science refuted that. But they do share a common ancestor though. Insects and trilobites diverged from the same phylum (suspected to be a shrimp-looking crustacean) 400 million years ago. Therefore, Kabutops and Scyther are cousins.

Think it's cool but never used one. I wish they'd let the old fossils come back more often and earlier. Romhacks always seem to want to leave them until lategame too.

cool as fuck Pokemon, just wish it was available earlier in the game. it's so stupid you pick up the fossil after the first gym, and have to carry it all the way to Cinnabar to revive it. at that point you probably have a full team and don't give a fuck. so I've never used Kabutops or Omanyte, even though I like both of them.
later games learned the lesson and let you use fossils earlier.
