I love ice/fairy Ninetails! Some concepts I would like to see:

Grass/Fairy Milotic - Serperior's Queen with floral scales
Flying/Fire Rapidash - Flaming Pegusus...need I say more?
Rock/Bug Vespiquen - Gold crown and armor encrusted with jewels.
Ghost/Fire Gourgeist - Jackolatern with orange hair with fried ends.
Steel/Bug Leavanny - Silver Filigree cloak resembling ornate leaves.
This.
These are all AMAZING. I want them.

The Ninetales/Vulpix look nice, Exeggutor looks funny. I just hope there is a way to keep Ninetales with Drought ability and its regular fire type too, as in I hope there is an option to have it like that without it being a transfer only type thing or make it so the Allola forms only appear in certain conditions.

Yeah, I can definitely see more of these being a thing. Apparently Kiawe who is one of them Island Trial Captains owns a Marowak which is leading people to believe we will be seeing a Fire-type Alolan Marowak. That sounds something that could look awesome imo!

There's quite a lot of things that come up mechanic-wise with these new forms.

First, how will breeding work? I feel like we may be able to breed interesting egg moves onto each of these Pokemon that they never would've had access to before. Also, as for breeding itself, will all Vulpix hatched in Alola be Alola Vulpix? Or will it depend on whether it's parent is Alola/non-Alola. Additionally, the same goes evolution-wise. We don't know yet if there is going to be an Alola Exeggcute, but if there isn't, will all Exeggcute that evolve in Alola be Alola Exeggutor?

One thing that I really hope does not happen is the ability to switch these forms back and forth. For me, something like that would completely go against the story for how the forms came about.

As for other Pokemon that I'm looking forward to having an Alola version: the first that comes to mind is Tropius, as well as other tropical-ish Pokemon (Bellossom, Milotic, Kecleon, Natu/Xatu, Corsola, Numel/Camerupt, etc.).

Overall, I'm really excited to see where this new feature takes us. Not to mention the fact that I have a reason to use Exeggutor on my team now.

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING
but I just got a great idea.

So the theory correlating to the Mega Evolutions in SM being applied to Alola Forms instead.
The theory for SM Megas were : All that have been showcased in the SM trailers that don't have a mega & are fully-evolved and are not Gen 7 Pokémon are going to be having a Mega-Evolution.
So Pokémon lines like Flygon, Miltoic, Fearow, Dragonite, Pangoro, Eevee, & Krookodile (+ etc.) might be getting Alola forms.

Kinda out there since Mega-Moves are the "New Mega" and Alola Pokémon most likely have the same stats but, Alola Pokémon have different typing (and that's pretty useful considering Pangoro's typing lmao.)

This really takes me by surprise, but I am pleasantly surprised. If this is done well, that is, if we can still be able to have the normal versions of Pokemon somehow, then I'll be pleased all around however it turns out they go about it.

I might actually want an Exeggutor now. That thing is hilarious looking.

I'm in love with this concept! I think it's pretty clear by now that Game Freak has phased out the trend of adding new evolutions/pre-evolutions, so I'm glad we've got something new (besides Megas) to make old Pokemon interesting again. These forms will certainly coexist with the original variants, but I do wonder how breeding will work. Maybe the mother will simply pass down her form as well as her species? Exeggutor might be a strange case, too - will there be an Alola Exeggcute? Or will all (regular) Exeggcutes that evolve in Sun and Moon evolve into Alola form Exeggutor?

Actually, the official [description] for Alola Sandshrew says it's slower than ordinary Sandshrew. It likely has a lower Speed stat - probably with a higher Defense stat to compensate, based on the description.

So if you trade a Ninetales from X/Y over to Sun and Moon will it change form? Or will trading be the only way to get the original versions similar to Sawsbuck seasonal forms in X/Y.


If they do change then they would change back once you put them back into bank.


In terms of design, Exeggcutor looks cool. Almost wish it was a mega version of it.
Ninetales I'm on the fence, it looks alright but I do prefer the original design to it. I wonder what the shiny versions of these will look like.

Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash are the bomb. Gotta love those designs and the fact they're re-re-appearing, no?

That said, they've got a serious misnomer. They've both still got "sand" in their name, and there's nothing sandy about them at all. How about: Sleetslash? Snowshrew?

Aw, this Shrew can't curl up anymore. That's sad. Oh well. It can go ice curling instead! The world's cutest curling stone. :3

I'm seeing some adorable Alolan Sandshrew fanart around, too!

Click here and here!


But man, we have to hope they buff Ice type this gen. It would stink if the Sandshrew line sucked yet again. It's strange how they consistently make ice types late game even though they suck. Like almost unanimously. It's probably the most baffling thing gamefreak consistently does. Defensively, Ice stinks, and the overwhelming majority of new ice types are inexplicably defensive. Including the Sandshrew line. A type chart shake-up could actually make the dozens of defensive ice types they keep making usable.

If the Eeveelutions get Alolan forms then we might be done with Eeveelutions, if they're mono type that is.
Vaporeon could be Flying. Flareon fighting. Sylveon could be Flying if it's not Vaporeon as Sylphs are air fairies.

I wonder why Exeggcute wasn't shown...does it still look the same in Alola unlike Vulpix, and Sandshrew?

Exeggcute remains the same. It was shown in the Japanese trailer. Only Exeggutor is effected.

Not sure I like the idea of the Alolan forms of Eeveelutions. There are still a few that don't have an environment that needs one. Mainly Desert and Caves.

I'm thinking now that Alola won't introduce a lot of new Pokemon. Likely the Alola forms will cover for the deficit.

Hmm, if Yungoos isn't from Alola, then I wonder if Yungoos as we know it might be the Alolan form of the Yungoos was was brought into Alola originally.

Here's the full list of old pokemon shown in the trailers. Might've missed some though.

Spoiler:
Salamence
Gengar
Metagross
Garchomp
Eevee
Pangoro
Krokorok
Zubat
Skarmony

I don't think any of these guys except maybe Zubat would get a new form, and I could see him being Poison/Dark or Dark/Flying.

Spoiler: In the newest trailer
Dragonite
Bagon
Salamence
Fearow
Delibird
Masquerain
Nosepass

Dragonite could become the more majestic Water/Dragon, Ice/Dragon, or Water/Ice type we always wanted. It's prior forms would also be easy to fit to the water and/or ice type.

Salamence I'm not sure of. Salamence already has a Mega, so I can't really see it getting an Alolan form. If it did, maybe Fire/Dragon cause of the volcanoes?

Fearow should get an Alolan form, because Pidgeot got something cool, so why not? I'm thinking Fire/Flying or Grass/Flying.

Delibird
would be kind of an odd choice, but it could be based on the Hawaiian form of Christmas, Makahiki, where wars were forbidden. Something like Grass/Flying would work.

Masquerain
is something I could see getting a new form. Fairy/Water,with a more delicate (and more watery) look. Surskit could be pure Water instead of part Bug, and with a more Fairyish look to it.

Nosepass
really doesn't deserve a new form. If it did though, maybe Steel and then Steel/??? for Probobass?

I certainly wasn't expecting to see this, but I totally love the concept. Super excited for it.

And for some reason I'm in love with the Alolan Exeggutor.

Pokemon Variations confirmed!

I seriously wasn't expecting this at all, so this was quite the surprise. Alola Vulpix and Ninetales are my favorite ones. They're just so pretty! Hoping there will be more added to the game.

No words for how beautiful this foxy is. Alola Ninetales is also really really elegant and overall I'm very pleased with these forms, Exeggutor included (it makes me smile).

Cannot wait for Sun & Moon.

As hilarious as Alola Exeggutor is, it's a nice shout out to old art for the Jungle expansion in the card game:

Spoiler:


While I like the designs of Alola Sandshrew/Sandslash, the new type combo is just bad. 4x weaknesses to Fire and Fighting are asking for trouble.

I like the idea of this so much but it's so frustrating to me that all of the ones revealed are from Kanto. I mean, after Pokémon Go I'm kind of sick of having the first generation being given such importance and the later generations being treated as if they don't matter at all. I really, really hope Sun and Moon don't have the same idea, but I really worry that they do.

Not everything after Kanto sucked, guys.

Reminds me of the old Delta Species Pokemon from the card game. I definitely didn't expect this to be a feature but I'm definitely psyched for it. The Sandshrew is my favorite. It has an igloo on it's head!

Also, I'm going to predict that Sandshrew-A is a Sun exclusive and Vulpix-A is a Moon exclusive.

Just you wait.

I'm willing to bet Real, Legitimate™ Currency that Pikachu will get an Alola Form but through some "unexplained genetic restructuring" the Alola Form Pikachu cannot evolve.

Mark my words. It will happen.

I genuinely want to thank you for this. It's truly refreshing to meet someone who feels the same way.

After XY's gen 1 pandering, the VC release of only the gen 1 games (and not gen 2's), and Pokémon Go, it's more frustrating than usual to have to deal with all the blatant disregard for anything outside of gen 1.
