Topic: Su/Mo trailer topic - Alolan forms, leaks and more

[Ya-Yah]

Wouldn't it be pointless for Alolan Vaporeon to be pure water type? What wold be the change? I find the Jynx one a little more believable but if it came from the same source then they're more than likely both fake.

^At the end of the day I'd sooner trust the official reveals, but a decent enough fake can be interesting to talk about, I suppose!

As per your question, idk if it'd be a real justification, but all I can think of is rearranging the base stats. Seems hinted at with Sandshrew and Sandslash getting slower at least. Honestly though, I'd be surprised if any of the Eeveelutions got any Alolan forms, unless they really want to have an Eeveelution of every type after all. Maybe Alolan Sylveon will be pure Flying

I like the idea of Alolan Jynx, though I don't see it happening, at least not with that exact design. Fairy/Psychic might be possible, though knowing Game Freak we could just as easily get Grass/Psychic, Grass/Ghost or Grass/Fairy.

I think an Alolan Vaporeon would look more like a siren and be part Fairy since it was based on a mermaid. I picture it with no hind legs and the tail as half its body and tail fin similar to Gyrados.

Just seen the new leaks. Do you think Alolan forms will exist alongside or instead of the originals?

[MonsterMon64]

I'm just gonna make a wager and assume they'll be in place of the previous 'mons, with the incentive being transferring from VC Red/Blue/Yellow or X/Y/OR/AS if you want their older forms.

No idea if it's just Kanto 'mon getting the treatment, but I thought I heard/saw a while back there were wild Doduo and Ledyba, and they seemed unchanged, so unless it's their evolved forms that get a change, seems like there's no reason they can't include both. I mean, four islands to work with, it's possible the island Ghost/Flying Oricorio is from might have regular Meowth, I dunno.

it's been confirmed that any Pokémon with Alolan forms will remain their normal forms if transferred to SuMo. Alolan forms are ones you capture in the region - and I remember reading that if you breed one of the forms the child should take the form of the parent.

EDIT: Not sure if I'm allowed to post CoroCoro leaks but whatever here they are what the hELL IS THAT SANDCASTLE ABOMINATION

Spoiler: show

Meowth and Marowak have Alolan forms, the fish is cute, hug bear has a prevo, what the HELL IS THAT SANDCASTLE, and we get a first peek at the bad guys!

[not chloe]

Maybe it's just me being a grumpy old grandma but some of these just don't feel like Pokemon? The weird pink/black bear in particular. I actually weirdly like the sandcastle?


Also how cute is the doggo?????

[the bread dragon]

"So they didn't like the ice cream pokemon? Screw them, they can have a sandcastle." - Last Game Freak Team Strategy Meeting

ngl I like the sandcastle pokemon. Alolan Marowak looks really good, it's my favorite one so far besides for alolan vulpix/ninetales.

[Inferna]

3rding the sandcastle actually being cute??? It looks so stupid I love it

Personally I think it would be cool if Pokemon that never evolved got alternate forms/variations or whatever they're going by. I'd love to see: Lapras, Herracross, Kecleon and Emolga tbh.

[SirBlaziken]

Heracross has a mega already, so I don't see it getting another form.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I love the sandcastle! I like how it's eyes are lights in the windows and its mouth is the door! This is my second favorite new Pokemon after Mimikyu. My third is Rowlet, fourth Komala, fifth Bewear, and sixth and seventh Popplio and Litten.
