Getting ready for that sweet Alolan Dodrio. Three heads hype!
|
I don't like the alolan Golem, I think the original is better.
I prefer the original persian but I like the Garfield head of the alola one XD Dugtrio is so funny I do like it (I already liked Dugtrio so........). But the best is Marowak <3 It is my favorite Pokemon so it is obviously this one I like the most, but it will totally be in my team! |
Thanks to dataminers we know the last few Alolan Pokemon to be revealed.
Spoiler:
I think that's the last of the Alolan forms. We've known for a while that its only been Kanto Pokemon, and I think we've accounted for all of them by now. |
Would like to see what wacky explanation the Pokemon site will give for Alolan dugtrio's hair lol.
Don't have much of an opinion on the new leaked Pokemon, Marowak is the best out of them all tbh. [ Spoiler:
|
I'm kind of mixed on the Alolan forms. On one hand some of the Pokémon they chose I feel are kind of boring now so they needed something new to make them interesting again. *cough*Ninetales isn't one of these Pokémon *cough*cough*.
On the other hand these Pokémon are so boring and to be honest with Pokémon Go I'm now sick of Rattata that I would have been fine with them being left out entirely. Interms of the designs, some are really cool like Vulpix and Ninetales, maybe that's why Gamefreak revealed them first *cough*.... But others feel like wasted time, like Dugtrio has long hair because they thought lots of surfer guys in Hawaii have long hair? Or because they wanted girl versions of Dugtrio? Or because they thought it would become a meme like Exeggcutor? I'd almost rather have well thought out Alolan forms of better and more liked Pokemon, then joke ones. imo a lot of these are jokes.. |
Personally, I think Alolan diglet/dugtrio are ground/grass. Have you seen that little leaf thing of the diglet sprite?
|
I think Alolan Dugtrio is the most hilarious thing ever. I love it!
As for everything else... Spoiler:
|
Damn, they definitely saved the worst for last with these Alolan forms. {XD} I would have loved to have seen what happened during the creative meeting for Alola Dugtrio.
|
Something that will keep me sleepless at night for many years to come is this: why give Alolan Dugtrio hair? They're whack-a-moles. Why is it humorous to give them hair? If they wanted to portray Dugtrio as an avid surfer, why not go all the way and have Alolan Dugtrio also be on a surfboard? I feel that would have been more humorous, because then it's like, "Dugtrio, what are you doing? How are you on that surfboard, bro?" But as it stands, it's just Dugtrio, coming out of the ground, with hair. Are there actually people underneath the surface--have my nightmares finally become a reality?
Wouldn't it have been more sensible--and more humorous--to give, say, the Machop line luscious locks instead? Brawly is a Fighting-Type specialist surfer. It's not like Fighting-Types can't be one with the waves. |

Even though Dataminers tore apart the demo, it is possible for some Alolans not to be unlocked until after the main game. Especially if we get another island. |
So they basically pumped out the absolute best of the Alola forms saving the worst designs until the end haha. To be honest, I'm kinda glad I got to see these forms before being officially announced. Idk, both Diglett and Dugtrio are barely different to their original form which irks me the most.

Alolan Dugtrio origin explanation: Volcano hair. |
Quote:
That's actually legit explanation to put on a wig. So these Dugtrios most likely inhabit near volcanoes all day? 4x weakness to water is a no go though. : l |
Quote:
Apparently they're actually quite sharp, since they're volcanic glass fibers. |

I wonder if this means Alolan Geodude line loses its Ground typing and stay pure Rock? That would not be bad since it means no more 4x weaknesses. https://67.media.tumblr.com/56923c41a21fe0b4bced30d539a53e83/tumblr_ofg83kxsJj1vf4zffo1_540.png Who thinks Alolan Diglett and Dugtrio might become Ground/Fire based on this? |
That thing does not deserve to share the same typing as Primal Groudon. It's kinda hard to say what Alolan Diglett and Dugtrio will turn into just based on the appearance. I'm thinking maybe Rock/Ground?
|
Quote:
I do think Alola Diglett and Dugtrio will keep their Ground typing, but Rock/Ground is what I consider a very bad typing since they already have awful defenses and HP and adding more weaknesses would be terrible. |
I knew that only Kanto Pokemon were going to get Alolan Forms.
|
Here's an interesting piece of info I found in regards to where the idea of Alola forms come from:
Quote:
It turns out Alola forms originally came from the idea of fans, but they changed things in order to surprise them. |
