Global warming means that the Alolan Sandshrew will be extinct

>Not calling it Iceshrew/Snowshrew.

Guess GF just hasn't caught common sense.

>>27479885
Snowshrew is cute!
CUTE!

>Global warming

Do you call people that acknowledge race differences racist too?

>>27479885
Tough shit, maybe if it had stayed a ground type...

>tfw it's not ice/ground type

>>27479961
i love you /pol/

>>27479885
I know it would cause equal amounts of complaints, but they should just introduce the variations as new pokemon, or something. make them separate - I'm way too bothered by an icy shrew being called sandshrew

>>27479918
Igshrew.

>>27480024
I doubt they're separate species, I bet a Alolan Sandshrew and a regular Sandshrew could produce viable offspring

>>27479885
Cut vs Uncut.

>>27479918
Snowshrew
Sleetslash

>>27480089
Fucking everything can produce viable offspring in pokemon

>>27479918
Wouldn't make sense in the context of the world. It's not the inhabitants that name the Pokemon.

Snowshrew looks comfy.

Perhaps the ice form was it's original form and we caused that cute little fucker melt?

>>27480526
You're telling me a Primeape can fuck a Gardevoir and produce children?

>>27480773
yeah and they'll just be ralts/mankeys

>>27480801
These games are completely unrealistic

>>27479918
But that's stupid. It's still a sandshrew/slash, it's just in a different region and has different physical traits to reflect that. Like an African Elephant, or European Cockroach, it's an Alolan Sandshrew.

What is a Stallion?
What is a Zebra?
What is a Donkey?

Same horse classification, different names.No reason it can't be a snowshrew.

>>27479885
Why do you assume the pokemon world has the same global warming rate as our world

>>27481638
>No reason it can't be a snowshrew.
Because it's still a Sandshrew it just adapted to Ice while hardening their earthy bodies.

>>27481638
Its species is sandshrew

I'm sure colloquially the people will call it snowshrew, but you're looking at dex entries not talking to people about the local 'mons

>>27481638
Those are different species, moron. Horses, donkeys, and zebras can crossbreed, but the resulting offspring are almost always sterile.
The Alolan Sandshrew is still a Sandshrew

>>27482147
bug/poison is the antarcia sandshrew.

when I refresh the page this post flashes past super fast and I keep reading

Global warming leads to more extreme temperatures, not a worldwide desert crisis. Cold weather still happens.

Go back to /pol/

>not ground / ice

You fucking had one job, Game Freak, jesus chirst, this makes me angrier than the fucking idiotic temporary totally-not-Digimon-we-swear-mega-evolutions introduced in Gen 6.

>>27479885

>shiny snowshrew will look like sandshrew

And this is why the idea is dumb.

>>27484131
Someone got triggered.

>>27484131
but who cares about Shinies?

Is this shaping up to be the worst Pokemon release ever?

>>27481638
What is Bear ?
What is Polar Bear ?

>>27484257

please stop with this meme.

>>27484257
>no gym leaders, only 4 'leaders' (kahunas)
There's island bosses, and kahunas. Together, they add up to 8 "pseudoleaders'.

Not an argument.
