I've been meaning to make this for a few days, now. ^^
The current Egg Group is: Field!
It doesn't have to be a certain art form. You can draw it, pixel it, whatever. The egg group will change every month!
You may have heard all sorts of different names for these. Pokemon Variations, Subspecies, and Crossbreeds. They're all referring to the same thing, usually.
It started with Pokemon variations based on the kind of habitat that the Pokemon lives in, but then somehow turned into Pokemon crossbreeds.
These aren't exactly fusions, though. They're a little bit different! Fusions try to incorporate two (or more) characteristics of a Pokemon in a relatively even manner. Crossbreeds, though, don't incite drastic changes to the Pokemon and instead give them more subtle physiological changes. Not too subtle, though, because let's face it: where would the fun be in that?!
Pokemon crossbreeds assume that the baby Pokemon acquires specific traits of the father Pokemon so that the baby looks a little different than it would if both its mother and father were the same species.
To provide an example, let's consider the following. Say I fuse together a Sneasel and a Torchic. Theoretically speaking, for this fusion I'd look at the traits of both Pokemon and try to create a new Pokemon that evenly incorporates both Sneasel and Torchic. So I might make the body type a little bit different than either Pokemon--a mix between the body types of the two Pokemon involved. Maybe I'd also give Sneasel a beak instead of keeping its regular feline nose and would take away its arms, similar to how the only "arms" Torchic has are the little tufts of feathers at either side of its body.
If I were to create a crossbreed between Sneasel and Torchic, though, I wouldn't really take anything away from Sneasel (at least nothing drastic, anyway). I wouldn't add anything TOO dramatic to it, either, such as giving it a beak. Remember: you're not making a different Pokemon by combining two. It'll be the same Pokemon at the end of the day...just, it'll look different. A lot different.
It's a bit difficult to explain, so I'll show you what it resulted in:

It's honestly hard to put my finger on exactly what makes crossbreeds and fusions different. It's one of those things that if you know it, you know it; and if you don't, then you don't. Crossbreeds are more subtle, basically.
Search for Pokemon Crossbreeds on tumblr; you're sure to find some really cool results!
How It Works
Every so often I'll post up a new egg group. That egg group will determine what Pokemon you can design crossbreeds for! Just make sure to use your own art, use common sense; you know the drill. If you're stuck, try tumblr. There's all sorts of really cool designs there.
Here's some of my own examples with Sneasel as the base Pokemon.
