That makes sense I do think they can explore a bit more. Plus it would allow them all to join not fully evolved competitions which might allow them to be more useful.

I wonder if we will get any new Regional Formes in this generation like we did in Generation's VII and VIII. That Alolan Raichu was one I fell in love with.
At this point I'd be more surprised for there not to be. Especially given that we've already got Hisuian Zoroark confirmed(thus meaning that at least 1 regional form will be available in-game).

I mean we've had them in every game since SM, and they've introduced new ones in every game since then except LGPE and BDSP. Feels like they're here to stay at this point.

Though I'm hoping Meowth continues the trend and gets SOMETHING.
I find it being the mascot of regional variants to be a good idea.
Like I've said before, if the Meowth we saw was indeed a catchable in-game encounter then maybe Persian gets a Legends Arceus styled evolution like Ursaring.

I wouldn't be opposed to a Persian evolution. It'd be quite interesting for a Pokemon with regional variants to get an evolved form for its original form.

I feel the exact same way with Ursaluna. I don't really see the need of Ursaring having an evolution, Ursaluna just feels like a variant of it instead of an evolution.
Also, does anyone wonder whether the Hisuian starters may be in SV? As the Alola starters were in SWSH I'd also expect to see the Galar starters.

It’s Kalos season!
I want to see the Johto, Unova and Kalos starters get more love and hope they’re in the Scarlet and Violet Pokédex.

I think that in terms of old starters we'll just get the Johto, Unova, Kalos, and Alola starters.

Really, this Pokemon got 2 regional forms, G max form and a new evo .
Meanwhile, some Pokemon got nothing at all. Like 99% of Kalos Pokemon

To be fair, Meowth is kind of a mascot Pokemon in its own right. Also, Kalos is still newer, comparatively, and there have only been two generations since it came out (not including SV, obviously, since we don't know enough about it yet). It introduced megas, and I do think it was silly that it didn't have a lot of gimmick-y stuff for its own gen. Gen 7 introduced regional variants and bc of the 20th anniversary of Pokemon, I think it made sense to focus more on early gen Pokemon. Gen 8 introduced variants of later gen Pokemon in both SwSh and Legends (I was particularly excited about the gen 5 Pokemon getting variants bc it's one of my faves), so they're getting there.
But seriously, Kalos is a more recent gen. Give it some time and it'll get more stuff. There's a good chance Kalos will get a variant or regional evo or two in SV, I think, since Sliggoo and Goodra got variants in Legends.
Edit: also Avalugg. I forgot Avalugg exists. It got a variant, too.

Other Pokémon that have nothing include Meganium, Plusle, Minun, Primarina… you get the point. In the case of Meowth it got those things due to its overall popularity and status as the face of the regional forms. Kalos has Vivillon which has its own form based on where you actually are, Ash-Greninja, Furfrou, two Pokémon with regional forms and introduced what is the most popular mechanic in mega evolution. Kalos has plenty going for it given the small Pokédex it introduced. As I stated to you previously is that I don’t believe that there are many candidates for regional forms or other additions to its roster and that has a lot to do with the relatively small amount of Pokémon it introduced. I get that you like those games but there’s not much more that can be done for the Generation 6 Pokémon right now.
Admittedly gen 6 is a hard one. There's a few candidates that i'd consider. Clawitzer, Gogoat, Helipotile, Aromatisse, Slurpuff and Barbaracle.
These could get a regional form and/or an evolution as they are all only 2 stages and new typings or better stats (if an evolution) could make each at least more memorable. I've also seen some interesting designs for a Aegislash variant which while that's the pokemon with forms they did give Darmanitan a regional form and even a zen mode regional form so Aegislash is possible.

There are endless possibilities for every Pokemon, and it all depands on one thing and one thing only - If GF wants this Pokemon to get something new.

Endless? Yes. Practical? No. If any Pokémon from Kalos would be getting anything I would like to see more exclusive Vivillon forms or a second opportunity at the fancy and Poké ball forms for those who missed them years ago. And then maybe something for Chesnaught and Delphox so they have something to rival Greninja.

I do wish they went back to Pokémon who already have forms and add on to them like Vivillon & Rotom. Somewhat similarly to how they’ve added to subsets of Legendaries like the Regis or Kami Trio

Rotomi and Rotom Drone would be welcomed additions to usable Rotom Forms.
Electric/Normal and Electric/Bug would work I think.

Reminds me of when people were speculating if RotomDex would have some in battle use
Yeah I'd be up for any new forms for Rotom. I'd really like a Electric/Dragon and and an Electric/Fairy one (I assume for now they'll all be electric types) but I'll admit Dragon and Fairy would hard designs to come up with. Not impossible though.
