Alcremie literally has 63 forms. 64 if you count G-Max. Over 70 if you count Shinies. Adding 12 more fossil combinations (8 halves would result in 16 possible combos) wouldn't be so farfetch'd after that.
It's a little more work than what is essentially just recolours and minor accessories.
My point is that if GF devoted enough time and resources to creating individual models for every single Alcremie, there's no reason they couldn't complete the fossils.
Which I understood, but my point is that that would be a lot more complex than Alcremie. Alcremie at the end of the day only has 7 different models with many recolours; and even then the only differences between those 7 models are two easily-replaceable aspects of it. I like it a lot because it's a very simple yet ingenious way to provide aesthetic differences to a Pokémon.
mad that they didnt give Dracofish to Nessa instead that Goldeen... would make much more sense.So for those who like the Galar Fossil Pokemon, you'll love to hear that Dracovish, one which I consider the worst looking, turns out to be very dangerous and can even potentially KO a Pokemon that resists it. The Fossilized Fish's Signature Move, Fishious Rend (which I hope is spread to other Pokemon like Carvahna family, Bruxish, and Chewtle family; yes I know in Japan it's called Gill Bite but there have been exceptions for other moves like Brave Bird Zubat), doubles in power from 85 to 170 if it attacks first or the opponent switched out. Not only that, but since it's a biting move it gets boosted by Strong Jaw making it go from 170 to 255. Oh, wait, I forgot STAB: 382.5 base Power. And Dracovish has a respectable base 90 in Attack.
I feel like Sideshow Bob walking into rakes, except the rakes are the Galar Fossil Pokemon.
*GRUMBLE*
2 Dragon/ice, 2 water/electric pokemon? Or part rock?
I doubt that as that would ruin the joke. That would also mean they'd not only have to create 4 completed Pokemon, it would also mean they'd have to make new fossil Pokemon for each possible head and body combinations which would mean 16 Pokemon altogether.
not necesary if half of their bodies were part rock type from the beginning?
I actually can see a way they could get away with only making 8 new Pokémon, or at least 8 new Dex entries; make some of the chimeras forms of the others. For example, the Draco- front and -vish rear could be another form of Dracovish.
Actually I think this is probably the best way to handle it. Just have another scientist tell you they can actually revive a Pokemon with one Fossil however it'll be part Rock-type.
and a ice/dragon combo Drake and Dino would be cool actually if possible.
Well with my idea they wouldn't do that, we'd only ever have the fossils released though the additional option to resurrect them as is. Even if we do call the combinations of the same Pokemon except swapping the head & tail the same name that's still 12 more models they'd need to create and it's also likely they would need to adjust movepools as Draco and Dino probably wouldn't have Fishous Rend and Bolt Beak as their Signature move, rather it would be an Ice-type and Dragon-type version of those moves. While they would probably keep the majority of their moves, some moves are dependent if the Pokemon has the body type for it so swapped Dracozolt may no longer have Dragon Tail, Arctovish and Dracovish may learn Aqua Tail instead of Crunch.
The only possibility I can think of is that they already had GSC and the Time Capsule in mind, so that these Kadabra would yield Twisted Spoons on trading.... what?
This is the only Pokémon in the entire history of the franchise to do this, and only in one game. I don't understand
They probably did, actually? Yellow was put out during the GS's development, I think specifically at the point where it was already delayed. So I think you actually hit the nail on the head here!
You assume Unown will ever be re-introduced.
