Pokémon Type-shifts confirmed canon.
Fans have been making Poison Typhlosions, Ghost Ponyta, and Glass Onix for a long time, and now it's a real thing. |

Anyone believe that the Alola forms will have the exact same stat spreads as their regular forms?
|
I'm still not done fangirling over Vulpix/Ninetales. They've taken two of my favorite Pokemon and added my two favorite types. I can already tell I'll definitely be using one. Though, this makes me wonder if the hidden ability will be along the lines of Snow Warning since it originally got Drought.
None the less, I'm super excited for these games even more. I can't wait! Edit: Quote:

"Kiawe is a captain whose expertise is in Fire-type Pokémon. Together with his Marowak, he studies the traditional dances that have been passed down in the Alola region."
I mean, uh... I'm not saying there's gonna be an Alola form Marowak, but, um... |
I am absolutely dying at how adorable the Alolan Sandshrew is and how amazing the Alolan Sandslash looks. In general I think it's a cool concept to have new formes of these Pokémon based on their migration patterns but it's a bit odd to me that such drastic changes are happening with them - I can understand Sandshrew becoming an Ice-type due to the climate it's adapting to but how is it suddenly able to produce metal plates onto its body using the same DNA as Sandshrew? It's not a big problem and doesn't stop me liking them but I feel like the changes may be a little too extreme in some cases to feel like it's just a migrated version of the Pokémon rather than an entirely new species. Ninetales as well bugs me - why could the current Ninetales not have an interesting second typing like the new version does? Again, I do really like these new formes but they feel a little sloppy haha.

I don't think they will all remain the same. Alolan Exeggutor uses a physical move, in the trailer not that means anything but regular Exeggutor has much better special attack than physical but it was more likely shown to that it learns different moves. |

2013 - 2016 It was fun while it lasted. |
Ultan has a point with the description of Sandshrew and Sandslash becoming slower with these new forms, which could imply the Alola Forms may have different stat spreads than their normal counterparts.

I think giving Ninetales an icy look is one of the best improvements it could get. It looks so majestic and I just love how both Vulpix and Ninetales look in battle!

I just can't wait to see alola arcanines typing be honest I'd like every Pokemon that's foreign to alola have alola forms , it can help with that Darwinism theme it's going for

But the obvious answer is yes, that is way too extreme to be the lighting. |
only one I really like is vulpix/ninetales. I'm really surprised they didn't go ice/psychic or ice/ghost. I hope there's more to be seen!

I've been hoping for a while now that hail gets a buff (frosslass being one of my favourite pokemon). Now I'm actually expecting it. We got new ice type forms which both have snow cloak for some reason. I feel like they're giving more options for hail teams. Maybe they'll introduce a defense buff or attack buff for ice types in hail and even make a swift swim/sand rush/chlorophyll equivalent for hail.

For those wondering why Alolan Exeggutor is dragon type: It's once again a name pun, similar to Mega-Ampharos.
(At least Ampharos was designed after partly a sheep and partly a dragon, but whatever) There exists a palm tree called the dracaena marginata, aka the dragon palm and many other dragon-themed names. http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Agavaceae/22865/photos/Yucca_draco_22408_m.jpg Also, this is POSSIBLY not tall-Exeggutor's first appearance. Look at this old booster box. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Coxtyl0UIAA7PLK.jpg |

I wonder what caused Vulpix and Sandshew to become ice types in this region.

And I seriously doubt they would make a new form for it that looks so similar. It's not as if it's the only pokemon that's washed out. Quote:

I don't know.. maybe they wanted to bring some old pokemon sun in with new forms to become new powerhouse pokemon. You never know when pokemon go will bring in later gens.. with location exclusive forms of pokemon
|
I wonder how they will deal with evolution. Vulpix needs a fire stone to evolve, I wonder if it will still need a fire stone or if something else will take effect. Having an Alolan Vulpix needing a Fire Stone would kinda break the reasoning for it being Ice. So I wonder what they plan to do.
