ITT: Alolan Mons that never happened

Given I'm a little disappointed how small the Dex came out to be.
I'm actually disappointed as a whole in GameFreak for having so much material to work with and then throwing it out of the window with really shitty pokes.

Let's have one of these threads then, shall we?
Post concepts that you liked, discuss it etc etc.
I actually feel depressed about it, even.

>HM's finally fucking removed
>New Pokémon look fantastic overall, great designs and lore
>Regional variants introduced
>Introduced Extradimensional aliens, designs visually distinctive from Pokémon
>Actual plot involving said aliens, two suspicious teams, great characters, alchemical God-chimera
>Region is comfy as fuck. Visually stunning. Music is GOAT.
> Z-moves adding yet another layer of mind games and complexity to battle
>Chibi-free overworld, no-more d-pad squares
>Actual Cutscenes during story moments. Not a big deal but sets a standard for future entries to be similarly visually appealing.
>Gyms replaced by trials and kahunas. Again, not the hugest deal, but some felt the old formula was getting predictable and stale.

And yet the majority reaction is

>100 new designs (if we count Lycanroc, Oricorio, and Wishiwashi as 1)
>19 of them don't count because they are regional variants, and "muh reskin" in spite of having new type, moves, stats, ability, and design inspiration.
>8 are ultra beasts and not Pokémon, despite now being confirmed catchable.
>100-27= Only 73 new Pokémon REEEEEEEEEE

Help me to understand. Is it mostly contrarian shitposting? Or is the majority of /vp/ legit whiny, autistic, entitled bitches looking for any excuse they can find to ruin these games for themselves?

I know what you are going to say: "dex has been leaked lol, no more pokes"

Fair enough, I would also sway that seeing what we got from the datamine. But I known what the trailer from the 27th will have. You choose to believe it or not.

-Preevos of Passimian and Oranguru are shown. Yes, Passimian and Oranguru. Their names are Rugeam and Mangutan, respectively. Same abilities as Passimian and Oranguru.
-Evo of Bruxish, named Cruxium. Much bigger and intimidating, and with way more HP. Abilities are Dazzling and Intimidate.
-Alolan Tentacool. Poison/Electric. The "tentacles" are larger, and the head is transparent so you can see the inside. Abilities are Liquid Ooze and Static.
-One more trial captain: the guy with the Pelipper we have seen in the demo. I'm Spanish so the name they told me was "Ricardo".

Again, you choose to believe it or not. If I were you I would screencap in anticipation of the trailer. Once the trailer drops I may come back with new info.

See you soon.

Seeing as there were a bunch of "post your team" threads, I decided to go through and collect a quick picture of what pokemon were most popular of the new bunch.

- Wimpod's family is the undisputed favourite pokemon to go on teams for the main game.
- Salandit's family takes second place, like Wimpod taking a place above the starters.
- Third place taken by Rowlet's family, who also takes the title as the most popular of the three starters.
- Lycanroc's Sun form takes fifth place, being the most popular of the two formes. If Lycanroc's Sun and Moon forms were considered as one pokemon, it would actually be the second most popular pokemon above Salandit's evo.
- Lurantis was well recieved enough to take the spot as chosen grass type on most teams, which might surprise some people.
- Not listed is Pallosand in 11th place, which might also be unexpected.
- Oricorio was not very popular overall, even with all formes combined, but of the four the Sensu style was the clear favourite.
- Alolan forms are well recieved, with A-Ninetails and A-Raichu being stand out picks and could be placed just below the popularity of Mimikyu in 9th place. Some forms, however, such as Golem and Raticate were rarely chosen.
- Unsurprisingly, the least popular pokemon families were small, single-stage mons.

A real, measured survey might provide more accurate data than this, which didn't cut out possible duplicate submissions and ignored anything listed that wasn't a clear cut team of six (i.e. two teams for versions, undecided 6th slots). However, it provides a clear picture of what pokemon got everyone's attention.

Thoughts on the new shinies? Planning to use any of them?

I think they're pretty weak myself but I'm considering using a shiny mimikyu since the monochrome looks nice for it.
