I'm really glad Alola Form Raichu turned out to be legit because it looks soo cute imo
Yes but still, would it not make sense to have an Alolan exeggcute evole to an Alolan exeggcuter? Because they both live on Alola. Just like pikachu and pichu? They already live on Alola so why don't they have Alola forms but their final evolve stage has.
Still funny a Pokemon completely changes typing upon evolving, and I'm trying to think of a pre-existing one that does. Adding or changing one type is nbd, but going from Ground > Ghost/Fire is pretty neat.
Watch I'll post this then think of a full-on type-changer.
Surskit to Masquerain is the single most notorious case of this in the past... Water to Flying...
I'm still really curious. Kanto Pokemon being transported and native to Alola makes sense since Japan (Kanto/Johto) isn't too far away. That said, why is Johto being ignored, why is Gen 2 being shafted thus far yet again.
Surskit only changed secondary typings tho. I meant full elemental shifts, like mono Ground to Ghost/Fire.
And genwun pandering.

So they're not ignoring Raichu. Also, can there please be non-Kanto Alolan forms?
It still was a change in type. Also, Marowak has the story behind it to back up the type change, a story 7 generations old now.
Normally, I would agree, just gen one pandering, but, this feels different. Gen 2 was shafted on Mega evolutions, and now on regional variations, it doesn't make sense. Kanto and Johto are geographically connected, and it stands to reason just as many Johto travelers would have come to Alola as Kanto travelers. I wonder if Johto is being held off for something else.

I know it has lore, I am aware. I was literally just trying to think if a full elemental change was unique or not. I can't think of anything, so I'm guessing yes.
EDIT: Yay! Thanks JV!
Sinnoh amd Johto are connected by the Sinjoh Ruins iirc, so they'll probably get less of the shaft in DPPt remakes if/when they come.
Poor Johto pokemons, some pokemons are kind of forgettable. e.g. ariados , noctowl.
I hope they get some boost like kanto mons.
And my poor Girafarig has never really received anything since it's release. I think Girafarig would be an amazing contender for an interesting Alolan form.
Yes! Returning it to its beta-Appearance, with two giraffe heads, making it a real palindrome, just like its name! I'm all for that!
