    Someone mentioned on twitter that it reminded them of a surfer dude :P I am also thinking it may be Ground/Water. I can't really think of anything else it would be with just surfer dude hair.

    Was honestly and truly hoping Alolan Dugtrio was fake because...

    Alolan Exeggutor is one thing. Ok long neck, was made into a meme for a while, but the general gist of why it has a long neck makes sense. But... Dugtrio with hair...? I really just can't wrap my mind around that. ._.

    And that is why I am more confused than annoyed. Lol.

    I have a feeling that someone is obsessed with pokemon having hair and it is the same designer of Mega Ampharos.

    I think I quite like the new Dugtrio form. I've always been a big fan of Dugtrio and this adds a sort of cool Hawaiian getaway vibe to it. I'm sure there will be a way of explaining why it needed the 'hair' to adapt.

    Now I just need a cool Primeape form. Maybe if I'm lucky we'll get a Magneton & Rhydon form that wipes out the need for their evolutions.

    I think Alolan Dugtrio has to be what is my most hated Alola Form because I feel its design doesn't make sense. I already hate how terrible Dugtrio's cry got in 6th Gen and now this? Game Freak surely is making me want to put Dugtrio on my Most Hated Pokemon list.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    I have to agree. Giving the Machop line the hair instead would also balance the imbalance between trade evolution pokemon which for some reason, they only made 1 line of. I would think they would have balanced it to a point where when you trade a trade evolution pokemon, you could get a trade evolution pokemon back.


    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.

    Alola Forms

    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.

    Alola Forms

    Who thinks Alolan Diglett and Dugtrio might become Ground/Fire based on this?
