Favorite Alolan forms

[RedBlastoise]

Generation 7 introduced regional variants of Kanto Pokemon called Alolan forms. What did you think of this concept back when it was new? Which was your favorite Alolan form Pokemon?

My favorite alolan forms are Vulpix line and Marowak

 

[Leonhart]

I didn't really like the concept of regional variants, although I'll at least say that I preferred Alolan forms over most Galarian forms. My favorite would be the Alolan Rokon (Vulpix) line. Alolan Raichu is decent as well.

 

[TwilightBlade]

Alolan Sandshrew is my favourite. I always thought that the normal variety kind of sucked so I was happy to see the Sandshrew evolutionary line get revitalized. :]

 

[Ignition]

Alolan Geodude line & Raichu. I like all of them except Exeggutor though

Alolan Sandshrew is my favourite. I always thought that the normal variety kind of sucked so I was happy to see the Sandshrew evolutionary line get revitalized. :]

I think I liked their type upgrade more than I liked their designs. The opposite applies to Alolan Betbeton (Muk): I prefer its design over its secondary type addition.

Easily Alola Grimer and Muk, they're both fantastic. Not only can they tank a lot of hits but they can also deal a lot of damage as well. Not to mention the added Dark-type means you don't have to worry about Psychic (though losing its resistence to Fighting led to some problems against Hala). Alola Muk with the Poison Touch ability is one of may favourite Pokemon to use in Generation 7, and easily my favourite Alola form. Alola Ninetales is a close second, it's decent and I certainly like it more than the original.

 

[Luthor]

I like them all to a certain degree, but my favourite is Alolan Exeggutor. I always wanted an evolution to Exeggutor with a long neck since seeing the artwork with that. But Alolan Exeggutor covers that as well. I like the backstory behind it.

 

[OshyHikari]

Raichu and the Vulpix line. Used the former on my original Moon team while the latter has a nice design aesthetic and unique typing for Ninetales.

 

[Zoruagible]

Raichu and the Vulpix/Sandshrew line, and Marowak.
Really I like all of them.... except Dugtrio's line, it is ugly as sin

 

[raichu27]

This could've used a poll.

Anyway, I liked Alolan Raichu, Alolan Dugtrio, Alolan Vulpix/Nineatles, Alolan Marowak, and Alolan Grumer/Muk.

 

[LiepardTrainer]

Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Meowth, and Alolan Persian
for me loved them when I first laid eyes on them

design the Alolan Ninetales my top favorites, so awesome looking, does resemble my favorite breed of fox (Arctic Fox) and now it matches the type as well with added favorite of my love of fairies - Ice Fairy love

I liked most of the Alolan forms, albeit I think I'd have to say my favourites were Muk, Sandslash and Marowak. Design-wise all 3 were upgrades over the originals, with Muk's colouration and Marowak's more spiritual vibe being particularly cool. Whilst I've never actually completed the Alola games, I can say their new typings and capabilities were awesome to see (although Marowak learning Shadow Bone the level before Cubone evolved, really?) and whenever I do get around to playing through these games again, I'm sure I'll pick a couple of Alola forms up to use on a team.

Alolan Ninetales is one of my favourites too. I didn't like the normal Ninetales that much despite using one in SoulSilver, but the change of type that the Alolan variety received made Ninetales seem cooler to me. :]

 

[Venomshock]

Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales look the best but I never had them on my team so I wouldn't know if they're better than Alolan Sandshrew or Sandslash as Ice types.

 

[Sakuyamon]

I think Alolan Raichu is the best Alolan variation form and its blue eyes remind me of that surfing Pikachu named Puka from the cartoon.

At one point I did seriously wonder if Game Freak took inspiration from that Pikachu given that Alolan Raichu almost seems to be using its tail as a surfboard.

 

[ScizorIsEpic]

I love Alolan Marowak, that physical attack stat is just the best, I don't even care that it almost always has to carry around a thick club, it's so fun to use.
