What other Alola forms would you like to see?

[Inky]

So we now know we're getting some new forms for old Pokémon exclusive to the Alola region - which Pokémon would you like to see receive these new forms? Which typings would you like to be given to old Pokémon? Really interested to hear some ideas.

 

[BubbleBeams]

I just hope that the variants span to more than just a few Gen I pokémon. Given that Vulpix and Sandshrew are version exclusive in RBG, I'm kind of hoping this is hinting at their exclusive counterparts - Growlithe and Ekans - having variant forms as well.

 

[MarinoKadame]

For Gen 1:
Crystal Onix
Lava Grimer Line
Gen 2:
Ice/Dark Houndour Line
Ghost/Fairy Misdreavus Line

Don't know for the rest yet.

 

[Rivvon]

Any that aren't from gen 1. I don't want SM to repeat XY's mistake of putting too much focus on gen 1 to the point where the new Pokémon feel like toss-asides.

There is a rumor that the Arcanine line will be Water (rumor predates the reveal by like two weeks or so, so it's highly likely that it's true).

I'll like to see Gyarados. I want it to be either Water/Dragon or Fire/Dragon. Hmm, maybe the Alolan Magikarp is as strong as the original Magikarp mentioned in one of it's pokedex entries.

Larvitar's line would be good candidates as well. Perhaps Steel/Dragon.

Honestly, I love the idea. Though it is kinda hard to say which I would like to change. They are basically Delta Species from the TCG. But here is a list with no specific reasoning.

Flygon - Bug/Fairy
Kingler - Fire/Poison
Noctowl - Dark/Psychic
Braviary - Fighting/Flying
Ariados - Dark/Ghost
Donphan - Dark/Fighting
Tyranitar - Dragon/Fighting
Gardevoir - Electric/Ice (Insurgent made me)
Gallade - Electric/Fire
Milotic - Dragon/Fairy
Tropius - Fire/Ground
Yanmega - Dragon
Lilligant - Fairy
Krookodile - Steel/Fighting
Jourgeist - Fire/Dark
Treverant - Fire/Dark

 

[Benermerut]

Well, Kiawe is a Fire-type specialist and has a Marowak, so Fire Marowak confirmed?

Tropius - Fire/Ground
Yanmega - Dragon
Lilligant - Fairy
Krookodile - Steel/Fighting
Jourgeist - Fire/Dark
Treverant - Fire/Dark

I would prefer Alolan Flygon and Yanmega being Bug/Dragon instead of Bug/Fairy, and pure Dragon respectively.

Good idea with Gourgeist, and Treverant.

Delta Charizard was Electric/Steel in TCG. And Pikachu was Steel type.

I think these forms are a really cool idea. Some different ones I'd like to see are:

Starmie - Ice/Dark
Magcargo - Steel
Ampharos - Fairy/Fighting
Houndoom - Dark/Fighting
Swellow - Fairy/Flying
Lunatone - Ice/Fairy
Solrock - Fire/Fairy
Luxray - Dark/Dragon
Vespiquen - Poison/Fairy
Drapion - Ground/Fire
Toxicroak - Grass/Fighting
Yanmega - Flying/Dragon

 

[Pryze]

All I would really like to see is a Steel-type Weavile. I feel like they could do a fair bit with that, focusing heavily on the claws.

 

[MarinoKadame]

Pokefarm Q has some alternate type Pokemon, like Slugma and Magcargo replacing Fire by Water, Poochyena being Ghost/Dark, Houndour being Ice/Dark, Combee line being Ice/Bug, etc.

 

[Sylphiel]

I'm not sure what type would be best for this, but I would definitely be happy if they decided to give this treatment to both the Nidoran lines as well. Please.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I saw it mentioned that Parasect should get an Alolan form where the parasite controlling it has died (because of the heat or something) and I fell in love with the idea.

Also a Grass/Fire Sunflora would be cool.

 

[Esper]

Make Dunsparce into a Fairy-, Flying-, or Dragon-type. Let the little guy fly.

And perhaps Skarmory could become something non-Steel if it isn't found in rough terrain, since that's the explanation for why it's a Steel-type.

 

[Inky]

Some real nice ideas in here! I personally think it'd be really cool to see the original Kanto starters be given new typings.

 

[Jason Wolf]

My one problem with this is I see no good explainations to half the theories out there right now.

I see fighting suggested a ton for pokemon and see no way they'd ever become fighting without SERIOUS redesigns. These are more pallet swaps with some details edited. Executor got a neck and a tail, ninetails and vulpix are a bit more fluffy (rather than a smooth sleek coat) and white, sandshrew has a bit more thickness and is white sandslash got ice spikes.

That said pokemon i think could get a whole new form with that limit (pallet swap 2-3 tiny detail changes):

Krookodile line: Water Dark or Water Ground pallet swap to a dark swampy green, change the back spines a little, and give it vertical instead of horizontal stripes.

Rhyperior line: add some fire vents and make them much darker tada you have a rock fire type.

Scyther: Bug Dark, make it darker, straighten the scythes to more of a tanto blade, and boom ninja bug pokemon that I'd use far more than ninjask.

Politoed: Water poison, color him like a poison dart frog all is good.

Garbodor: poison steel, remake basically entirely into a scrap heap junkyard golem creature that is actually cool and terrifying.

Bisharp - Fairy/Dragon with scales and some fanciful looking rapier-style blades
Amoongus - Water/Grass type. I just really like the idea of that move pool on Ludicolo's typing.
Golem - Fire/Steel type, magma visible underneath its plates.

There is a rumor that the Arcanine line will be Water (rumor predates the reveal by like two weeks or so, so it's highly likely that it's true).

Larvitar's line would be good candidates as well. Perhaps Steel/Dragon.

Seeing a fire type variant of Magikarp and Gyarados would be pretty cool! Maybe they live near or in a volcano or something! Water Arcanine also sounds pretty cool! I wonder what it would look like.

I would love to see fire-type Mightyena.
