If you've gone to the website, then you would notice that an Alola form for Marowak has been hinted.

I could envision an Alola Form of Marowak looking something like this.

Alolan Marowak FTW!

I was thinking the other day that I'd like to see Nosepass evolve into a Rock/Grass Probopass because it wasn't able to evolve normally because of living in Alola. (it has a location based evolution)

A Probopass covered in moss and vines could be pretty cool.

Them switching types would make sense, and since Machamp is partly based on Shiva (four arms), I'm expecting its possible Alola form to use that design inspiration to the fullest.

Just because they have a relation doesn't mean they'll get the same treatment. Look what happened to Slowking, it didn't get a mega just because Slowbro did. Same goes for Froslass and Glalie.

I wouldn't mind seeing that happen since we haven't had any Rock/Grass-types outside of the Lileep line and considering Alola is a very natural region it would be nice to see it covered in moss which causes it to gain Grass-type.

I'm guessing GF will make a few more Kanto Pokemon have Alolan forms so I really wanna see Gyarados and Nidoking/Nidoqueen get these forms. Crystal Onix would make sense because it's "unique from other Onix in that it can live in water without being hurt by it. Its glass skin also gives it a special resistance to Water-type attacks." It has clearly adapted to its surroundings like other Alolan Pokemon so maybe we'll see Onix get an Alola form too.

Well I also don't want the number of Alola forms to be oversaturated with Fighting types, making the Machop line Psychic types for their Alola forms would help counter it.

Sure but there are other fighting type Pokemon they could turn into Psychic types.

Personally I'd like to see Makuhita and Hariyama as Psychic types.

If that rumor of a Water-type Alola Form for Arcanine turns out real I would love to see it look like this. Gives off some Vaporeon vibes in this picture, so I also kinda hope it can be set apart in a way.

Rivvon August 5th, 2016 3:30 PM

Litwick but instead of a wax candle it's made from the kukui nut, since they're commonly used as candles and such. Prof. Kukui could have one maybe. I don't know what type it would be, though. Fire/Grass maybe?

Still hoping for a mantis shrimp Clauncher/Clawitzer Water/Fire line. Please.

And now that a friend mentioned it to me, Lumineon could use an Alola form since it could be made more colorful/tropical and it could help give it more of a presence, since it's usually forgotten...

Also if the Johto starters got Alola forms, Meganium could have a lei around its neck. In the image with the Alola Exeggutor, there's an old man next to said Exeggutor with a Meganium-patterned shirt. It may not mean much, but I think the Johto starters "fit" Alola well enough to warrant forms. Here's to hoping!

And, as always, Raichu, no Pikachu. Please and thank you.

They're confirmed fakes (the text and the type symbols are the wrong font and color) unfortunately but a Water/Flying Delibird and Fairy/Psychic Jynx would have been very cool concepts for Alola Forms.

There's still a possibility that the Alola forms are only for Kanto Pokémon, so I imagine the Psyduck line and Poliwag line to be possible candidates for being Psychic types.

I can understand this, because while it is the 20th anniversary which is understandable for all the 1st Gen pandering that is happening (as shown with the VC release of the original Kanto games and the presence of only 1st Gen in the roster for GO) and while I'd love to see more Alola Forms I'd love to not see as much for the 1st Gen Pokemon because it could risk coming at the expense of other Pokemon that could have deserved one instead.

Look at how many 1st and 3rd Gen Pokemon received Megas, I don't want too much pandering to a certain generation when it comes to the Alola Forms. I want them evenly distributed unlike the Megas which currently have two generations with only one Mega-capable Pokemon.

Sydian August 5th, 2016 8:13 PM

I would love to see Lilligant in a hula skirt tbh.

One of the sad things about this is that there does exist Pokémon fans who prefer using Kanto Pokémon over the newer ones or else they'll lose interest in the series again if the Pokémon they grew up with aren't available in the newer games. Take this guy for example:


OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 5th, 2016 11:43 PM

I'll like to see a Water/Dark Garchomp.

Mawa August 7th, 2016 10:35 AM

I loved all the concept we saw here! The Marowak one is so cool, I wish it will happen!
I'm kinda sad we didn't got the ice vulpix first and the fire one as the Alola form, since a fire type fit best with a tropical island.

MarinoKadame August 8th, 2016 11:04 AM

Considering Exeggutor got an Alolan form because of the sunlight in Alola Sunflora seems the next one to get an Alolan form too.

Grass/Fire Alola Sunflora maybe.

I agree! Which is why I think an Alolan Girafarig would be quite a cool concept. I'd really like to see some type of adaptation of it where it's tail head has grown some. Meganium is kind of tropicalish so maybe an Alolan Meganium could happen(or alolan johto starters in general). This would make a lot of people happy since they were looked over when mega evolutions were a thing.

t0gekiss August 8th, 2016 11:37 AM

An Alolan Wheezing would be cool, it could be a Fire-Poison type and it would be found near a volcano, which makes sense since Volcanoes can give off deadly fumes aswell.

Sirfetch’d August 8th, 2016 12:39 PM

I just realized how hard it would be saying Alola Alomomola if we got one. I actually kinda want one now....

Winter August 8th, 2016 11:32 PM

Alolan Dwebble: Easy aesthetic switch to the seaside hermit crab. Water/Rock or Water/Bug.
Alolan Xatu: This would be really interesting if they incorporate a totemic motif to this psychic bird.
Alolan Heliolisk: Fire/Electric, there you go.
Alolan Vanillite: They could go wild with all the tropical flavours here. I'm gonna be disappointed if the creative design team does not leap at the chance.
Alolan Sableye: Ice/Ghost, eats ice and the eyes turn into ice crystals or something.
Alolan Aerodactyl: How about a Rock/Dragon at last?

That would make a lot of sense if we got Alola Johto starters rather than Megas! I would still like to see some new Megas and not have them completely abandoned for these new formes, though :( And it looks like so far we've only had Kanto mons. I really, really hope they expand to other generations; I understand why they are going for Kanto (at least first if they end up doing more later), but they're going to miss out on so many good designs if they don't keep all their options open.

Hikamaru August 8th, 2016 11:48 PM

I just thought about this one... I want to see a Psychic-type Alolan Psyduck and Golduck since they are often mistaken for Psychic-types and learn some Psychic-moves, but aren't Psychic-types themselves. An Alola Form would definitely fix that issue.

janejane6178 August 9th, 2016 1:23 AM

Im sorry, but I just dislike all this "Alola forms" concept. What is it that is so special about Alola that Pokemon need to adjust its environment rather than to other regions?
I would be happier if GF would just go on with mega evolutions instead
