Personally want to see these ASAP. Also, those leaked fully evolved Alola Starters from the same source are...Interesting, dunno if you guys know it or not

Those sound pretty fun.
Fuck fighting types, though. It's getting way too overexposed. Also kind of disappointed that Dodrio is getting that rather than Ground, since it makes sense for a flightless bird. Oh well...The Butterfree, Ratatta, and Growlithe sound look neat. Would've liked more than Gen 1 love, though

I have a few other questions.

Do you think these new forms will have an individual slot in the national pokedex?

Doesn't this region exclusive form thing cause issues if Sun and Moon are no longer accessible via online or Pokemon bank?

Regarding the meta, will these forms be treated as different Pokemon?

Do you think the lack of showcasing Megas so far make you think that they aren't any new ones, or that they're just post game stuff we'll have to learn about?

EDIT: I just realized this alt form thing could make Pikablu an actual thing.

I'm assuming same slot, since they're the same name as before, just a different form.

I don't think it will cause issues, either. Much like how current games have accommodated the special evolutionary requirements for Glaceon, Leafeon, Magnezone, and Probopass, even if Sun/Moon are no longer available, I'm sure the Alolan forms will appear in later games in some manner.

As for the Megas, I think it's because this is a new region entirely. They want to show off new Pokemon first and foremost. The alternate types for old Pokemon also feel more "New" than a Mega Evo.

Fire Marowak, eh? Sounds solid.
