Storytime. When I first got Pokemon Black I wanted a Tirtouga but ended choosing the wrong fossil (I took the plume fossil instead of the cover fossil). I did not like Archen at all but I kept him on my team anyway because I wanted to see what he could do. I guess I thought he looked too goofy. After awhile I ended up liking him a lot more and I even got him to evolve. Archeops was a sick evolution and I kept him on my team till the end.
Morale of the story: birds are better than turtles.
