If my own starting pokemon in my hand is Dome, Old Amber, or Helix fossil, can I play it as my starting pokemon since all of them state "Play this card as a colorless basic pokemon"?

Juliacoolo said:That's only partially true. You could have say, chatot, Uxie, and Skull fossil as your starting hand. As long as you only play the skull fossil, you may do so, since your hand id private info., and they can't prove you had other playable basics.
Q. If you have a basic and one or more fossil cards, can you treat any or all fossils in your opening hand as Basic Pokémon?
A. Yes, you can start the game with a Fossil Trainer card as your Active Pokémon, and put a normal Basic Pokémon on your Bench (or vice-versa). (Oct 16, 2003 PUI Rules Team)
