Like Smashboards. Oops.
Bug/Psychic Butterfree, Dark Rattata line, Poison/Fighting Nido-line, Water Growlithe line, Fighting Abra line, Fighting/Flying Dodrio line
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

Okay, that answers my question.

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.

The final evolved form of Rowlet looks so boss.

I believe that Alola mons will share the same spots on the dex as their old counterparts. Pokemon in Bank keep their data from the games they were taken from. I.e. a regular Sandslash will be a Ground type when transposted to SM
Ash Greninja is in the game. No way megas will be scrapped

The fire guy in the trailer (what are we supposed to call them? They're not gym leaders but seem close enough to satisfy me) is said to have a Marowak. So I suspect we'll have a Fire-tyoe Alola Forme Marowak.

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'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.

Maybe we can get a part Fairy type Milotic now?

So I was reading NeoGAF and someone found Eggecutor's pokedex entry from one of the GBA games. Holy shit the lore right now, specifically the first line.
