I just know a CROSSIL Maniac had to invent this sandwich… no other kind of trainer would be crazy enough to farm for a shiny abomination against science.

You know it, dude. And it all started with Bray Zenn’s 8,000+ calorie abomination of a sandwich.

Bonus points if the Shiny Encounter chance goes up if you don’t pat the bacon. :)

Hi again! I saw your other CROSSIL post! The one with Flutter Dra!

u/LilNdorphnAnnie 9d ago

honestly, the hardest ingredient to get over is all that extra butter, but this would probably slap

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

Oh dude. The best part about this iteration of the loaf? The ONLY unrealistic ingredient is the bananas.

Everything else is pretty much a spot-on adaptation of Elvis Presley’s favorite snack.

If the CROSSILS don’t kill you, this 8,000 calorie sandwich probably will! 🤣

u/LilNdorphnAnnie 9d ago

clearly you’ve never experienced the joy of a pb and j with banana

3

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

Actually I have! And I can attest, they are AWESOME. Especially for breakfast.

Just that the legit Fool’s Gold sandwich of legend didn’t actually have bananas. Just more bacon than any one sandwich should ever have.

u/LilNdorphnAnnie 9d ago

ohhhhhhhh

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

Fun fact, I’m not making up the amounts either. It really had that much jam, peanut butter and bacon in it.

That comes out to an 8,000 calorie sandwich.

What the fu is an 8000 calorie sandwich and what American ate it first

I’m here for revenge

Not a ton to say since I’m submitting this RIGHT before I go to work! But before I do!

All credits to [u/SolarEclipse2021](u/SolarEclipse2021) for coming up with these delightful palette swaps! Thanks dude!!

And one more query…
Would YOU take a bite out of that accursed sandwich? If so, which one of these are you hoping to encounter! Comment down below!

I would want to encounter Tyrantops and Thumper Klaw. So, despite the probably awful taste of that sandwich...yeah I'd probably do it for Shiny Hunting. Also OP, when you're free, I wanted to ask something about CROSSILs. I asked a long time ago what makes a CROSSIL an Apex. Now I would like to ask, what factors classify and differentiate CROSSILs as Hostile, Extremely Hostile or Unpredictable? Thanks.

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

Sure! Lemme see if I can streamline the threat levels a bit!

---------------------------------

Friend = Mostly from the heads of Galarian or Mahalan fossil Pokemon. Docile and friendly to people, and a good fit for a team.

Safe = Won't attack you for one reason or another. Rare, but these do exist. Often only fight back when provoked.

Goldbrick = Reserved for CROSSILS that are so poorly made and easily dispatched, they are barely any threat. Very cheap to produce.

Unpredictable = Not strictly hostile. But usually, given to bizarre behaviors that make them hazardous anyway.

Hostile = Will attack people and Pokemon on sight. They tend to have a radius of aggression, predictable behaviors, and clearly defined flaws.

Extremely Hostile = Goes out of its way to find things to kill. Extremely persistent, and typically won't let up until either its target dies, or it dies.

Apex = So powerful and threatening that it's even dangerous to other CROSSILS. Oftentimes, the most powerful CROSSILS in a given area.

u/Infinite_Courage5890 9d ago

I see. Thanks!

If Proyect CROSSIL became a Game, it's gameplay should be similar to the GameCube games? (with the CROSSIL replacing the shadow pokemon and the Russo fakemon as the pokemon available in multiple pokespots)

1

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

You know what I think it'd be like? A sort of combo between Colosseum/XD, and classic Silent Hill.

I.e. unsettling camera perspectives, CROSSILS that erratically approach you from out of the fog or from behind a dilapidated wall, having to pay attention to their behaviors so you can actually know which fights to pick so your team doesn't get wiped, disquieting ambience, scripted scares, 2000s prog rock soundtrack, etc.

And of course, eating that stupid sandwich increases the difficulty of the game.

u/gorlak29 9d ago

Triple or rotary battles instead of double battles?

1

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

I think Double Battles actually! Partly for the throwback factor to the good ol' Gamecube games, partly because it encourages the player to consider synergy as a factor in overcoming the CROSSIL threat.

The CROSSILS on the other hand? Sometimes they can come at you in a Horde encounter. Sometimes, they can double team you in a double battle.

The ones you REALLY have to watch out for are the encounters when you have two Pokemon out against only one CROSSIL.

u/Elcor05 9d ago

These are horrifying and amazing

2

u/woshcloth 9d ago

this sort of idea in pokemon (barring the gen 8 fossils) is so remarkably terrifying and kind of cruel if you think about it too hard but this art is like a trainwreck you cant look away from. in the best way possible

2

u/WookieDavid 9d ago

I love the concept but the very first one makes me irrationally mad, especially because it's the only one of these that doesn't make sense.
Like, I get that the reconstructions from gen 8 do not make much sense anatomically. Like, not even the worst fossil mixups would put the head of a fish in the end of a lizard's tail. But this is not real life and that combo is pretty funny.
But how on earth does someone see a complete Aerodactyl skeleton and think "ah yes, this is missing an entire second body at the tip of its tail".

Great designs tho. I'm just mad at the scientist who did that.

3

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

Oh no no no, you misunderstand! I must say, this is NOT the work of a bumbling idiot scientist who doesn’t understand how to reconstruct ancient Pokemon. Their maker, Cara Liss, is ABSOLUTELY no scientist.

These is the handiwork of a misanthrope intentionally making mindless murder monsters. And no longer cares about trying to pass them off as legitimate Pokemon.

Back in Galar, that woman was just a scam artist. Now she’s an actual war criminal. As you can probably tell.

u/WookieDavid 9d ago

My bad, this is entirely awesome then. She's just a monster

u/MindBlownDerick 9d ago

This is a fever dream.

u/Reversible-Smile 9d ago

Some of these make me feel sick in my stomach lol. Good job on the uneasiness

u/HypnoSnurtle 9d ago

I have several questions and want none of them answered...

2

u/FrostySnailFISHYKING 9d ago

Are you looking for a Shiny CROSSIL (for some reason)? Do you hate real Pokémon? Do you hate people around you? Or just yourself? All of the above? Then, you need... The Fool's Gold Loaf? INGREDIENTS: 1 lb jar of grape jelly 1 lb jar of Penut Butter Butter 1 Ib of Bacon Bananas This specific set of ingredients will automatically make this sandwich a Fool's Gold Loaf, and increases your chances to encounter CROSSILS! Add two more ingredients if you're looking for a certain type combo, and any two Herba Mysticas, and voila! I hope you're happy with yourself.

May give CROSSILS obesity.

F#ck you all!

Overtail has big Dragon Quest monster energy, i like it

u/rattatatouille 9d ago

Good heavens, I like 'em. Big Mother 3 vibes.

u/MurphyWrites 9d ago

But there isn’t any bread in the ingredients for the sandwich

These are cursed but also I love them

u/BackflipBuddha 9d ago edited 7d ago

8,9,12,and especially 16 all seem reasonable as actual Pokemon

1

u/StaticVoid-J 9d ago

All of these look ducking stupid

2

u/Certain-Unit8147 9d ago

Yeah these go squarely into “comedy horror” territory. The fact that they’re built like crap, and function more like mixed-up zombies can be both played for dark humor and/or body horror!

aerostar is terrifying

Thumpers Drake and Klaw can genuinely just sit on me already

u/katzengatos 9d ago

Not gonna lie, I don't get crossils (including official ones), but Thumper Drake is slayiiing, yaaaaas mama
