Trivia

• While the item description for the Plume Fossil states the Fossil came from a "Pokémon that (once) flew/lived in the sky", the Backpacker who gives away the Fossils in Pokémon Black and White mentions that the Plume Fossil is from a Pokémon that lived in an ancient forest, but could not fly. Considering what is known about the Archaeopteryx genus, this may be intentional to some degree.
