gonna go through all of them bc im bored
Rattata > Alolan Ratatta
I like the dark design but honestly Dark/Normal is a trash type, good luck defeating one fighting type.
Raticate > Alolan Raticate
Same as above except in this case it just kinda looks dumb, idk.
Alolan Raichu > Raichu
Raichu is boring!!!!! and Alolan Raichu is a huggable floating psychic friend who I would like to eat pancakes with someday
Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Sandshrew, Alolan Sandslash > Vulpix, Ninetales, Sandshrew, Sandslash
I love all of these. I already think their base forms are great but even then these ice forms are such a cool upgrade. Esp ninetales
Alolan Diglett, Alolan Dugtrio >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Diglett, Dugtrio
Fucking look at her i mean is that even a question????? I will say I dont like Ground/Steel as a type because it makes using it against Fire types effectively impossible, and I don't think she gets any benefit out of the secondary type. But that doesnt matter she is still amazing!
Alolan Meowth > Meowth
Cooler colour palette and thats really all there is to say.
Persian > Alolan Persian
Why his head so wide lol
Alolan Geodude, Alolan Graveler, Alolan Golem, Alolan Grimer, Alolan Muk = Geodude, Graveler, Golem, Grimer, Muk
Nobody cares about these Pokemon either way anyways.
Alolan Exeggutor > Exeggutor
10/10 I miss the memes
Alolan Marowak > Marowak
An actual beast and my ace in my first playthrough of Sun. Plus that design is so cool
Meowth > Galarian Meowth
Im sorry he is hideous. And why of all the great Pokemon did they decide meowth gets two regional forms AND a gigantamax?
Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Rapidash > Ponyta, Rapidash
I love them!!!!!!
Galarian Slowpoke, Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Slowking > Slowpoke, Slowbro, Slowking
Same design but with more colours. Eh I dig it
Galarian Farfetch'd > Farfetch'd
I don't so much care about the alt form but Farfetch'd is one of my fav mons already and the fact that it finally gets an evo makes it a win. Sirfetch'd was my ace in Sword and it gets so many critical hits I felt like I was cheating.
Weezing > Galarian Weezing
Not like either of them were particularly good anyways but.... why make the capitalism pokemon.
Galarian Mr. Mime = Mr. Mime
Both ew
Galarian Legendary Birds > Legendary Birds
I didnt play the DLC but they look aight? I like Galarian Moltres a lot better than its original form, the others don't seem like big improvements to me.
Zigzagoon, Linoone > Galarian Zigzagoon, Galarian Linoone
The galarian versions are okay? Like not bad or anything but they don't capture the cuteness of Zigzagoon and the coolness of Linoone to me. And Obstagoon is gross sorry not sorry.
Darumaka = Galarian Darumaka
what even is this thing anyways
Darmanitan = Galarian Darmanitan
this thing has too many damn forms, stop it
Galarian Yamask > Yamask
One of those Pokemon I never expected to use but Galarian Yamask and later Runerigus ended up being useful member of my party in Sword. I'll take it. Design is eh tho.
Galarian Stunfisk > Stunfisk
Cool take on an otherwise kinda worthless Pokemon. Uglier though.
