I really think that all the Kanto pokemon will receive Alola forms, for the 20th anniversary. I hope so, anyway! Loving them all so far.
|
Alolan Meowth is just... a more boring Purrloin.
We already have one and a half dark type cats, executed better in their design. Kind of a wasted opportunity there. |

I like the idea, but I may be wrong. I'd rather one generation get Alola forms than a mix of all of them like how it is with Mega Evolution. It's kind of a mess that way. I am surprised however that stage one Pokemon like Meowth are getting Alola forms too. |

Perhaps you forget that Alolan Sandshrew and Alolan Vulpix came far before Alolan Meowth, so they've already set the precedent? Or was that just an example and you find Alolan Sandshrew and Alolan Vulpix just as strange as Alolan Meowth? |
I believe the ss.anne is going to be part of this on one of the leaks it mentioned it would be part of the game so i think they will work in into the story like it brought in a few kanto pokemon and they adapted to the islands.
|
I am predicting that we will be getting an Alolan Hypno that is part Poison type.
Why? The Team Skull used poison types in the trailer, but then had a Drowzee. So maybe the reason that had it because it becomes part poison type. |
"Raichu has electric sacs on its cheeks, and rubbing them causes a sweet aroma to be released. The mechanism behind this is not clear, but it’s thought to be connected to the psychic power that Alolan Raichu possess."
I guess that partially explains where Raichu gets its Psychic typing from then? |
Alolan Gyarados was all I ever wanted.
All my hopes and dreams were crushed. |
I'm a bit torn on the new Raichu. It makes sense to have it be part Psychic so that it can float on its tail-board wherever, but an Electric/Water Raichu surfer would have been really great to see as well.
|
It's interesting that in the trailer, regular Cubone evolves into Alolan Marowak.

Oh, as a sidenote, looks like Raichu surfing on its own tail was foretold in Pokemon Stadium 2! Skip to 41 seconds. |
Okay, Alola forms seem to be isolated to generation 1 Pokemon, probably because players can easily transfer Kanto forms via Pokebank and 20th anniversary. I can confirm that Pikachu, Cubone, Exeggcute, and the Zubat line don't have Alola forms.
So here are some Pokemon I think could get Alola forms:
That would the Alola forms up to 20 (assuming Persian has one as well). That seems like a reasonable cap. They don't want to have to many of these to overshadow the new Pokemon. |
It was already know Exeggecute didn't have an Alolan form. I think right now only some full lines have Alolan Forms.
I doubt Pichu/Pikachu/Cubone/Exeggcute will get one. But I am almost 100% sure that Persain will because Meowth has to evolve. As for what I am expecting. Hypno: Poison Jynx: Fairy/Dark or Fairy/Psychic Ratatta and Raticate: Dark Persain: Dark Butterfree: Fairy/Bug or Bug/Psychic Growlithe and Arcanine: Water Seal and Dewgong: Dark/Ice Kingler: Fire/Dark or Fire Dratinir: Fairy Dragonai and Dragonite: Fairy/Dragon Noctowl: Flying/Psychic or Dark/Psychic Sentret and Furret: Fairy, Ice, or Water Bellessom: Grass/Fairy Vileplume: Grass/Dark Dunsparce: Fairy Stantler: Psychic/Dark Would list some form all Gens, but that would take a lot of time. |
Sorry, I'm too lazy to read through all 7 pages of this forum.
Have we come to a hypothesis on whether original and alolian? formes will be available? Or will we just catch Alolian formes and need pokebank to get originals? Do you think they'll have a separation in the pokedex? |

Guess ill keep on waiting. Nov 18 is just so far away :P |
It's nice to see Raichu finally get some love after playing second fiddle to Pikachu for 20 years. Electric/Psychic is a decent offensive combo alongside Focus Blast. Surge Surfer makes it a nice partner to Tapu Koko in doubles.
Alola Marowak is certainly interesting; it finally has a practical use of Lightning Rod. Even if it can't benefit from the Special Attack boost in the final product, the Electric immunity is useful. Alola Meowth, I'm indifferent on, since it's essentially a retyped ordinary Meowth (its abilities didn't change). |
I think these forms are an awesome idea. Even if there are people who don't like the new Pokemon they can still have a new experience playing with old favorites. I really like all the new forms so much!
|
Oh, yes. I'm having the same feeling with Alola Meowth as I did with Sneasel. It's cute and cool!
Alola Raichu is...something. Is it surfing on its own tail? I don't like its ability, but it's cool! Alola Marowak looks bizarre. It reminds me of one of those creatures from Yokai Watch. Nonetheless cool. |
Oh yeah, something I just though of, do we know whether or not stat changes come with the Alolan forms too or is it just typings and abilities (and looks) that are getting changed?

You know, I would like to see some Alola form where a Pokemon is "normalized", that is, having one of their types removed and replaced with a Normal-type. Like, imagine a Geodude line that's Normal/Ground. You would strip away some of the outer rock layers to show what kind of Pokemon is underneath all of that.
