Description
Starting off the new year with some Pokemon art! So when I first started playing Pokemon Shield I thought the new dinosaur Pokemon Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, and Artovish were just awful. I didn't understand why they were so weird looking and mismatched until I read online that they were purposely done that way. For those of you who don't know, this was done by Pokemon as sort of a joke. Since the new games are very much UK inspired they made the Pokemon fossils mismatched, creating these abominations. This is based off the real life London's Crystal Palace Park where the statues of dinosaurs were incorrect and parts misplaced. Now knowing the back story I actually love these four, it's hilarious and a fun wink to history.

It reminded me of when Cope put Elasmosaurus' head on the end of its tail by mistake.

I dunno, this artwork makes them look... less of a mess.

The four worst fossils. I hope we get what they really look like in the future.

Same. They look like someone should put 'em out of their misery.

EXACTKY YET SOME PEOPLE LIKE THEIR DESIGNS, i can understand someone liking grimsnarl even though i think its nasty looking but THESE 4 DESERVE NO LOVE

People actually like these monstrosities?! I get that they have an interesting origin (early days of paleontology and the Bone Wars), but that doesn't mean they're good. The only one that's even remotely acceptable in my opinion is Arctovish. Just turn its head around.

IDK, I honestly think that Dracozolt is kinda cute, in a weird little Frankenstein's monster-type way.

Not actually based on what happened with the early dinosaurs. They are much closer to what happened in the US with the Bone Wars. Where palaeontologists literally were putting heads on tails, and mixing animals up (Apatosaurus and Camarasaurus for example).
Also. None of the dinosaurs in Crystal Palace Park have any of their bones misplaced (in fact there is only one example of mismatched bones in UK history, and it was a hoax). They are just incorrect interpretations of small amounts of bone.

Like you I didn't think all too well of the Galar fossil Pokémon, with them being all mismatched. Dracozolt and Dracovish looked particularly a mess, but I learned something new about the four from reading the description. Moreover they look great and better fit to their bodies in your style.

It is a nice nod to history and a lot of early discovered dinosaur bones were put back together inorectly.

It's not just the Crystal Palace Park. Look up Piltdown Man. Another fine example of period British "archaeology" at its best.

This is horrible if you realize that they are actually constantly suffering. Are the Galar scientists really so dumb that they messed up everything just like that? Hm... a, nah, just freakin' Game Freak.

its based on the old practice of combining parts from different dinosaurs which used to be a thing

I know. But again, the execution of the idea is horrible. Just look at those Pokemon, they are so miserable like that...

Well, that somehow explains it. But... how did she get the revival machine in the first place? How did she even become a scientist if she is SO careless? Even in her researches and reconstructions. That doesn't look really scientific to me. But if there is an explanation for this, it doesn't make the Pokemon less ugly and tormented.
Cara Liss is like a Game Freak's personification. Ahem.

Yeah, right. But o course, Game Freak will give you the opportunity to revive them normally... for another 20$.

i went on Bulbapedia, they were already like this when they were alive. and they all went extinct because of they're horrible design.
it's not the scientist's fault, but Arceus's (Gamefreak).

Where exactly it says so?
>It is resurrected from combining a Fossilized Fish and Fossilized Dino , and it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
>This is likely not the case due to Dracovish being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct.
They are all combinations and their lifestyle before extinction is pretty much speculated. Where do Pokedex descriptions come from? Who writes the texts? Scientists, who research Pokemon, right? Not Arceus. It is widely known that some Pokedex articles are bullshit. Take the infamous Ponyta article that states >Capable of jumping over the Eiffel Tower in a single giant leap.
Isn't it... weird?

People reckon that the actual Pokédex entries were made up by Cara Liss to add credence to what are likely some mismatched abominations she made herself, which would be a much better alternative to these things being legitimate pokémon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
ok, that's fair.
in that case i hope ALL the dex entries are bs, because the world of pokemon sounds like a hellhole if they're true

The thing is, well...
The inspiration for these four is completely wrong.
The reason why the Crystal Palace dinosaurs look so different from now is because they were reconstructed from a few tiny pieces of bone. These pieces looked like supersized versions of modern reptiles, so they were reconstructed as, well, giant-sized reptiles.
I get the concept, but I feel like it could have been done better.

The whole mismatched fossils is more properly attributed to America. Where they mismatched animals up (Camarasaurus and Apatosaurus for example) because they were rushing to dig up more than their competition.
The UK has only once had an instance of mis-matched fossils, and it was a deliberate hoax.
I find it funny that people are so quick to blame the UK (because the region is set there); when no single fossil pokemon has ever been from the country the games were based on.
