It's blowing my mind that this is actually the TRUE form

>>27483809
Why did its neck shrink?

>>27483842
It couldn't get enough sun from Kanto's pollution-filled air.

>>27483842
Because there were no Girafarigs around.

>>27483842
It needs tropical climate to grow to full size.

What if all the imported safari mon were actually Alola mon?

Because this.

Granted it says heads not neck but that's still sweet as hell.

Of course. Being a giant tree isn't a very good camouflage in an area without palm trees, so it evolved into a smaller, less conspicuous form.

>>27484105

But tauros was already shown in the most recent trailer.

>>27484265
They either died or the other three heads ate them. We will never really know...

>>27483809
They could probably justify the whole thing pretty easily. Something like Exeggutor is originally from a coastal tropical climate, where there is loads of salt water. Once moved to a different environment like the subtropical wetlands of the Kanto safari zone, it becomes bloated by absorbing excess fresh water, which is more readily available there.

Or something like that.

>>27484105
Tauros and Chansey are both their base forms. Why didn't Exeggutor transform into the ling neck in Hoenn though, as it should be a similair climate?

>>27484274
What the shit are you actually talking about

>>27484392
That's a sub-tropical climate, not a tropical climate.

I love when they "reveal" the true habitat for a specific old pokemon like Eevee being originally from Kalos and now Exeggutor being originally from Alola and everything makes sense

>>27484392
Exeggutor can't be found in the wild in Hoenn, only traded from either Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova or Kalos, none of which ate tropical


Even then, Hoenn is more subtropical with relatively temperate areas on the east, not full on tropical like a Alola

Would an Alola non-retarded Slowpoke work?

>>27483809
Hooray! Now christards WON'T sound like complete idiots when they claim Pokemon is from the devil because it has evolution in it!

>>27484425
>like Eevee being originally from Kalos
wut

>>27484492
Eevee is only found in the wild in Kalos

>>27483883
fuck, I need alohan girafarig now.

Why did the Kanto version develop psychic powers?

>>27484392
Because they didn't come up with Exeggutor's new form back then when they made Ruby/Sapphire. Stop being retarded.

>>27483842
Probably from too much inbreeding.

IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

>>27484522
you find them wild in Castelia Park

>>27484537
Because even Exeggutor knew that Psychic-type was superior back in Gen 1.

>>27484583

Thanks for your input, friend.

>>27484610

>>27484653

More like somebody's pet Eevee escaped and started reproducing.
They're the Castelia version of feral dogs.

>>27484583
All eevees found there are imported, it's an artificial park in the middle of a city. More like a tiny garden btw.

>>27483917
And it was the Jungle set
This is the true exxeguttor for sure

>>27484537
Poison is weak against Psychic.
Kanto is bloated with Poison Types, a lot of them being Grass so they could live near it regardless. Just self defense.

>>27484597
Just because it is a literal palm tree in the TCG artwork doesn't mean that they had his Alola form in full mind back then. But it's very possible that they based off that TCG artwork to create its form for Sun and Moon.

The other post is true that it's not in Gen 3 but it's also just made-up lore. Take off your tinfoil hats.

>>27484537
Less dragons in Kanto and more poison types. Adapted to the climate.

Why is this board so obsessed with their own head-canon lore?

>>27484695
>Kanto is bloated with Poison Types
Huh. And Unova is bloated with bug types. Hoenn is bloated with water types. What are the others bloated with?

You're all dumbasses.
There are likely fewer Exeggutor (and fewer tall plants in general) in Kanto, meaning the long neck was unnecessary as the Exeggutor no longer need to compete for sunlight. A few generations later, and the Exeggutor in Kanto have differed enough from the Alola Exeggutor to be a different form.

>>27484777

I-Is this a picture of Alola?

>>27484105
>Alolan Kangaskhan
PLEASE. KANGASKHAN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE POKEMON.
But what would the variation be? Male Kangaskhan? It wouldn't make sense for it to go from a male only species to a female only one. Then again Kangaskhan was always a weird case since genders weren't established during Gen 1. Also then again Nile crocodile genders are determined by temperature levels during incubation.

>>27484701
>no fun allowed

>>27484392
Because the ones in Hoenn were from Kanto stock, and while pressure from the environment would select against the tail ones in Kanto, the short variant has no issues in Hoenn

Actually I just thought it was insane. Its leg is taller than the main character. It's absurd and incredible imo, and I love it.

It also confirms that in-battle models are not size-accurate, which is a shame.

It's worth noting that they wouldn't have been able to adequately display this new form in the older games because of the pixel height limit on sprites. No restrictions now it's 3D, this was Exeggutor's true form all along.

I'm not against it changing. I'm just wondering how they'll explain a species being female only everywhere else in the world. Like I said Nile crocodile genders depend on egg temperature but that's like a difference of 3° or so. That could be 1 possibility.

From what we've seen they've been good with the explanations for adaptations which is why I accept them. I hope they keep it up. If they show up with Dark/Steel Charizard or whatever other edgy abominations fans make like this
https://wiki.p-insurgence.com/Delta_Pokémon
I'll be upset.

>>27486248
Aren't they making an Alolan Marowak? I think that along with Mega Kangaskhan put any chance of revival to rest. Plus I'm sick of people still forcing that theory despite how far it is past the turning point like Venomoth and Butterfree.

The Alola Exeggutor is tall just like tropical coastal palm trees. The reason of this is to they can protect themselves from tidal waves and floods. Orginary fat Exeggutor is an inland tree, so it it short and plump, it doesn't need to protect it's goods from waves or disasters.

Maybe that's just a way of restoring balance of nature, you know like how predators are smaller in number and have lesser spawns compared to the preys. Snorlax just consume so damn much food and generally need to much resources that they simply don't have that high a number. And they're lazy fucks who are too lazy to fuck, like those damned pandas.

>>27485121

>>27484537
It's pre-evolution is still Grass-psychic. It's more likely that the lack of sunlight and growing huge means it never developed its dragon abilities, and so instead its existing psychic powers flourished instead.

>>27483872
Heres a few theories

- kanto's climate is mostly arid
- the region is mostly closed in and compact thus favoring smaller animals. (Which is also why pokemon like nidoking and charizard are so short)
-they were brought into kanto long ago and have since been bred to be smaller and easir to tame.

For these Alola forms to be of any use they must be stronger than their Kanto counterparts. Meaning Alola is the better region.

>Tauros native to Johto
Given that the Kalos and Johto Tauros are both right next to farms, they're probably "native" in the same sense that the wild Eevee in Unova are: domesticated Pokemon who got out at some point and started breeding.

He means Dracaena draco, "Dragon Tree".
It's native to the Canary Islands

Exeggutor is a mish-mash of Dragon tree, a visual pun on "eggplant" and of course a coconut tree.

This is late, but I know in real life Okinawa they don't have many tall palm trees. The island, and southern Japan in general get hit by a lot of typhoons during the season, so the tall trees either get knocked down or don't grow that tall. Hawaii on the other hand barely gets hit by strong tropical storms.
My source is my aunt visiting from Okinawa was amazed at all of the tall coconut palms we had when she came over.

Lads, let's just ignore the shitter, who gives a shit what he has to say?

Same here, is one of the reasons im loving this gen more than gen 6

here's something that hasn't been mentioned yet

kanto is a much harsher predator- and shitheadtrainer-filled climate and exeggutor's long neck was a dangerous liability (so easily broken)

and alola is just super chill.

Because the concept of Aloha, 150+ Pokmeon didn't even exist in 1994 or whenever Eggsectuor was hatched in Sugimori's mind.

And if it was, I doubt Nintendo would put it on a forgotten box art in 1999 and not touch it until 2016

This isn't strictly true. Pokemon was initially intended to have more than 150 pokemon but time restrictions and hardware limitations is what left it at 150. A lot of the Gen 2 pokemon (most afaik) are those other pokemon who weren't able to get into RGBY.

>>27492987

>>27487595
It's not like this hasn't been done before. The Togepi line is from Sinnoh, for example.

It's called Darwinism, you monkeys. They are doing this because the Galapagos Islands are also in the Pacific Ocean.


Some species, like the Galapagos tortoise, which were separated from other tortoises, evolved differently.

It doesn't mean it was the first. And for all we know, there could still be short necked ones on the island as well

>>27493061
>Prove it.

I want you to

Or I can have some common sense and assume they didn't accidentally give a Pokemon an extremely long neck.

Japanese Pokedex entry:

>>27489892
So by that logic, pokemon like Nidoking and Charizard have the potential to grow larger outside of Kanto. Like the zards in Jhoto's Charicfic Valley.

>>27493061
What he said is the truth. The lore about Exeggutor's new form that you made up in your mind is what's not real.

>>27493084
You know, this makes me wonder if we'll get a Galapagos-esque area as postgame content where more or these alt-forms will be available or perhaps where their original forms can be found instead.

>>27493144
>heads

Somewhere in the thread is the other one where it says the heads get big enough and drop off into exeggcutes
the whole tropics part is silly too because obviously a palm tree would
They probably were deciding on pokemon to have variants in alola and thought "gee that guy's a fuckin palm tree let's use him"

Reminder that there are actually dozens of cases of Pokémon that appear to be native to Regions they weren't introduced in.

Eevee, for example. Native to Kalos only, rare/giftmon everywhere else.

Houndour and Slugma, NOT from Johto. Jynx is NOT found in Kanto.

Togepi is only found wild in Sinnoh (conveniently where it's final form was first seen), and only given as a rare egg everywhere else.

Starter Pokémon are never found in the wild, possibly from other regions.

Rotom roam wild in Kalos, but were previously incredibly rare, with only 3 unique Rotom's obtainable across Gen 4 and 5, ignoring breeding them for more.

Heatran formed naturally in both Sinnoh and Unova.

Steelix probably first appeared naturally on Iron Island, Sinnoh, long before any trainers evolved Onix in any other region.

The Regi's are presumably from Sinnoh, NOT Hoenn.

And even this very Gen, Yungoose's Dex entry says it is not native to Alola.

Anybody know more examples? I find this stuff interesting.

>>27494686
Togepi is also found in the wild in Unova, White Forest.

Also see >>27494635
Coprhish/Crawdaunt Alola forms when?

>>27494686
Adding one more quickly;

The Metagross line is only found in the wild in Unova. In the Hoenn games, you obtain Beldum from Steven, and will have to breed it if you want more.

>>27486602
Pikachu is native to Kanto for sure. Only other place it appears wildly in is Kalos iirc.

Honestly, with Kanto being so industrialized and such, I think it's safe to assume that near-none of the wildlife there evolved to live there naturally. Pretty much everything in Kanto can be found in high quantities in other regions in much more understandable environments. Like Ponyta in Sinnoh.

>>27489150

Lickitung maybe?

The card makers LOVE putting Lickitung in these aesthetic as fuck tropical island/jungle art pictures where they're climbing palm trees and lapping up things out of reach.

Maybe that's the deal with Lickitung- it has that amazingly long tongue so it can grab hanging fruits from tall trees or something and it's in the safari zone a long with the other "introduced/foreign" pokemon.

I'd EXPLODE if Alola had a Lickitung variant, but I'd just be thrilled if there were normal Lickitung's hanging around all the same.

I always assumed that the starters were all endangered species, and the professors would breed them and give them to new trainers in the hopes of trying to jumpstart their populations again.

I'm pretty sure all starter pokemon are "extinct in the wild" and are specifically bred and raised entirely in captivity for trainers to use.
I wouldn't be surprised if starter pokemon were native to their regions, but were simply plucked out of the local habitats due to how perfect they were for pokemon trainers.

>>27494686
>Eevee, for example. Native to Kalos only, rare/giftmon everywhere else.

Isn't it odd how what the pokedex considers an "extremely adaptable" pokemon would be so rare?
EEVEE I think was especially a victim of this sort of behavior: catching and hunting to almost complete extinction in the wild due to how perfect and convenient they were for people to train thanks to their ability to evolve and to adapt so readily.
I bet there were millions of Eevees- I bet you they were as common as any other "normal" type pokemon in the brush before people started snatching them up. Now they're so rare they're bred and sold as a luxury 'mon.

But on that note, maybe they're more common but just far more reclusive, and it takes something special - say the latent power of the stones on Route 10, likened to evolution stones - to draw them out? Each map has deeper wilderness you're not allowed to explore, after all.

>Swarms

I've always just considered "Swarms" as migrations, you know?

Take for instance the Remoraids of Johto: They swarm a very specific fresh water lake on Route 44 and I know it "looks" small in the games, but it's big enough to have it's own pokemon on the little island in the center.
Maybe they do this to lay their eggs? Maybe they do this so they can complete their lifecycle and evolve into Octillerys?

But, yeah- I think that's generally what Swarms are supposed to be: Migrations whether seasonal or for breeding or whatever.

This is objectively true, but only in the sense of both Exeggutor being Exeggutor: one is just from it's native habit and the other is what we should consider the "mainland sub-species".
