That has never stopped them. Look at Alomomola and Luvdisc.

Okay Grimmsnarl looks hella cool. It looks very powerful and imposing and its design gives off some goblin vibes and I love it. It likely being Dark / Fairy type makes it really promising too, that's a super rad type combo.
If Grimmsnarl is in fact the pseudo legendary of Gen 8 that will give it even more appeal imo: a 600 BST Pokemon with a strong and amazing type combo is gonna be super awesome, not to mention it would make the first non Dragon pseudo we have had since Metagross (it's been so long...) which is fantastic. While Garchomp, Goodra, Hydreigon, and Kommo-o are all awesome a non Dragon pseudo would be very welcome for a change. Super excited for this Pokemon!

Honestly rhyperior and aggrons were my first comparisons.
Nonetheless he shall join his rock kaiju brothers for a beatdown...

This looks so painfully fake
This not being a pegasus might be the biggest disappointment yet to me.
Why? Rolycoly was confirmed a while ago and the evolutions fit its design as well as the Gigantamax leak.
Presumably a Corviknight prevo ("Rook" -> "Knight")
Yeah what’s with them eyes
CTNC
Doesn't know how to attack
I already hate this for its fan art... Can I look at something awesome?
That's better. Rookidee is pretty boring, but Corvisquire feels like a teenage knight in training that eagerly looks up to Corviknight.
Presumably a Corviknight prevo ("Rook" -> "Knight")
It doesnt look like Rolycoly to me at all. Tge eyes just look too jarring of a jump.
And besides the eye thing, the design itself seems photoshopped. Like several degrees faker looking than most of these leaks. That middle evo's head looks copypasted lol
Yung Dramps
awesome gaming
Boltund: Eh, I don't like it. Maybe it'll grow on me, but for now the face looks strange and the body looks too plain. Hoping against my better judgment for a better-looking third stage or Gigantamax
Coalossus: Nice guy, I like him. Doesn't look like the speedy Rock/Fire train I was hoping for, but it could be cool with that typing and a Choice Band. And you gotta love that delightfully punny name amirite
Galarian Rapidash: And here's our Pegasus! ...Wait, where are the wings? So no Psychic/Flying? That's a shame. What could its typing be then? Oh yeah and it looks pretty
Corviknight pre-evos: Rookidee is adorable and Corvisquire is neat-looking.
With all that said... ...Alright leakers, no more games. WHERE. ARE. MY. NEW. GALARIAN. FORMS?!

Yea this new batch of mons are fake. Corvinights prevos have pupils leaking/sticking out of their eyes
G-rapidash's eyes are completely different from ponyta, and the outline is off
Rolycolys evolutions also have very "off" eyes and head proportions
You can quote me on this when im right.. or wrong i dont mind

They're markings under the eyes. Look up Chickadees. They look just like that.
On a side note, here's a high-quality version of that Intelleon drawing. It's most likely fanart though.
I really like these. And the names are good as well.
Presumably a Corviknight prevo ("Rook" -> "Knight")
Rookidee = Rookie (a newbie) + Chickadee
Corvisquire = Corvus (Crow in Latin) + Squire (a knight’s apprentice)
And then Corviknight.

The guy who uploaded it claims to have made the original 'leak'/passes it off as a fake, but then there's others pointing out the inconsistent 6th finger. I'm thinking the picture is just fake now based on the fact that he claimed to be a separate guy with a guidebook that was on sale, but with no other book claims to be found.
Me: I think after Intelleon and cinerace the things can't get worse
Gamefreak:
Seriously, what's the problem with gamefreak approving minecartmon and hairyTobyMaguireEmomon for Sword & Shield?

I'm pretty sure he made the art and added effects to make it look like it was a blurry pic. After his mistakes were made, he fixed it up and posted it without the extra effects.
Yeah the minecart mon is fun and at least carries the same theme as Rolycoly before that theme gets unceremoniously dumped and it becomes Rhyperior's cousin. Should have been a coal train or something.
I see people complaining about the eyes for Coalossal left and right, but they are the same as rolycoaly's in the gigantamaxed form (all more evidence that these mons are being designed around that): https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EIVqIp_XUAAntnr.jpg
Also from the looks of this thing (the g-maxed form), it's a lot more than a rhydon wannabe. Looks like a coal furnace that you would find inside a train to me.

edit: If Grimsnarl is the Psuedo and it keeps the same typing... it’s a 600 BST mon with an unresisted STAB combo, two immunities, and iirc from the demo it gets STAB Sucker Punch. That’s gonna be pretty good.

No i meant the pupils, they are halfway out it looks bizarre.
[/SPOILER]
And if u take a look at the edge of the tiny birbs black feathers (mask?) There is alot of weird white outline like the colour hasnt been filled correctly.
Because these aren't just the pupils, these are the whole eyes. The white part below is a marking, just like real Chickadees
The red part isn't a pupil, its the whole eye. The white marking is just that, a marking inspired by real life Chickadees. And I'm pretty sure the white outline is just the shader being weird at the model edges. The same thing is visible in the trailers, it's just less noticeable in motion.
