Ruling Fossils and Restored Pokemon

Archen
Plume Fossil

Ok so the question is if I have Archen in my hand and play Plume Fossil can I then play Archen on my bench? The only reason for this question is the Plume Fossil card doesn't mention this.

I know that's what the card says, but the set list that's inculed in the Furious Knights and Fast Daze theme decks state's under Important Restored Pokemon Rules "If you have a Restored Pokemon in your hand, you must first play the Item card with the effect that allows you to play the Restored Pokemon."

The Plume Fossil, and Cover Fossil, both say "Search the bottom 7 cards..." for the restored Pokemon. If you have it in your hand, and play the fossil, you can't play the Archen on top of it.

Plume fossil says nothing about playing archen from your hand. The only way to play it is to use plume fossil, and find archen in the bottom 7 cards.

Those rule books are often poorly written. This won't be the first time they said something like that that isn't legal.
