Yeah, these things are total eye vomit. I like the idea of hybrid fossils, but to make them so horrifying and make it look like they're in constant pain instantly puts me off to them. If you want to make them look like mistakes, then fine, but at least make it look like they won't flat out die in 5 seconds.
I really have to wonder how these designs even got greenlit. Game Freak has spoken about their process in creating and approving Pokemon designs, and they've said that the designs need to be endearing enough to be appealing to kids. So how do these designs qualify? If even the older fans are horrified by these designs, you can only imagine how the kids will react to witnessing these abominations. They'll probably be mentally scarred for life.
Eh, normally I have nothing against posts made by you, not to say, I often tend to agree with your standing on matters, but saying these fossils are "total eye vomit" and "mentally scarred for life" is hyperbole at its best. I have read scarier Pokédex entries that is more likely to "scar kids for life" than what these Fossil Pokémon bring to the table.
They are more weird and cutesy than outright monstrous to the point they'd scar people mentally. If you ask me, the Fossils are a combination of weird, cute and monstrous....like most Pokémon tend to be.
