Hello guys and omastar is the first gen 1 fossil pokemon to take the blow. It settles for the bronze medal leaving two of it’s fellow contendors in the finale. The OG long tail pterosaur and the slick guy kabutops. Which of these takes the crown. Let’s see. Positions are:
why does aerodactyl wings have those wierd fingers?
So this time we are voting for the winner yeah?
nah voting always goes to who you want to eliminate..
Ok cool, needed to work that out, im not voting to eliminate my slicey boy
as cradily gone , slicey boy is only deserving one out of remaining for a winner…
aerodactyl making it this far is criminal
I think Omastar and Kabutops are great fossil designs, but Aerodactyl is only making it this far due to nostalgia imo :).
Keep Omastar in - cephalopod supremacy!
Lol, oops, I totally thought Omastar was still in the running. Ok, well keep Kabutops in - arthropod supremacy 
!
Damn was not expecting all the Aerodactyl hate right at the end. It’s one of the few Pokemon I can close my eyes and hear its in game cry. Kabutops is a fair winner though, as well as unsurprising.
Same! I used Aero a few times in the games and thought it was a great Pokemon. It was a FRLG main for me with access to fly, the Rock Head + Double Edge combo, and the ability to learn Rock Slide and Earthquake from move tutors. Hyper Beam was also a good move pre-special split and it got Crunch in later gens. I also used to do the in-game trade for it in Gen 2 and make it my flying type there too…not as good a move pool but still covered a bunch of bases and was fast.
Plus I always thought it looked cool so…
The only downside is that I don’t like it’s debut Fossil artwork but other cards have more than made up for that such as Aerodactyl ex from Sandstorm, the V SAR, and the Kanda-illustrated card from 151 to name just three.
Armaldo 4th is criminal. Should be WAY lower.
Armaldo must’ve banged a lot of wives, mothers, grandma’s and sister’s considering the constant hate it gets. Well I suppose he’s an outlaw after all…
Should’ve been #2 right behind Kabutops.
Awards will be given out shortly. Coffee and cake in the lunchroom afterwards.
Pterosaurs used to walk on 4 “legs” rather than their two rear legs. My guess is to make aerodactyl more accurately represent a pterosaur species.
Totally agree on that one.
Pterodactyl means “wing finger”, so I guess it made sense for them to keep the spirit of that with Aerodactyl having fingers.
Fun related fact I like to throw at people: the word “helicopter” means “spiral finger”, so “helico” = spiral and “pter” = finger.
We should all technically be pronouncing the word as “helico-pter” (with a silent ‘p’).
…Oh yeah, Pokémon. 
I was surprised at Archeops going out so fast.
I like seeing reactions of people when I tell them that long piece of the wing after the little fingers is just a jumbo finger. Most of my family has grown numb to my dino/reptile facts.
Oh that is a good one! I’ve had great looks of confusion (or maybe disgust 
) from sharing random facts like that.
