I think I figured something out, but it could just be from lack of sleep. Anyway, given that Alola is the first region to really have different typings on a single species, as well as type different variations, and strong elemental ties to a type in different regions, I think it might be where evolutionary stones are either imported from, or found in the highest quantity. The mountains that our ice shifted vulpix and sandshrew could radiate the same kind of energy that allows eevee to become glaceon, for example. The islands could act as...I want to say fire, thunder, dusk, and either sun or moon stones in certain locations, or to certain pokemon, with water stones being beneath the sea. The guardians may be cause or effect of this too, either charging their islands with their energy so much that it causes the land to take it on and changes what lives on it, or being born because the islands had such abnormal amounts of this energy in the first place. Hell, the Oricorio pokedex entries say they are different because they fed on the sap of trees on the different islands, which supports the game lore idea that the region has some form of super charged effect relating to typing.
Anyway, thoughts for or against? Does it have merit, or am I so dumb that I should have spent my time while doing manual labor at work distracting myself in other ways?

But it isn't.

More likely that the developers are taking pages straight from the book of Charles Darwin. Island chains are notable for providing isolated environments where animals can evolve in rapidly diverse ways and Darwin specifically observed the difference in tropical birds depending on thier environment. This is probably why we're getting Gen 1 'mons with new forms too.

To be fair, it is easy to forget them at 4 AM when trying to just make your day go by a bit faster so you can finally fucking sleep. But fair points, I guess.

I thought the evolutions were based of the islands?

It is based off the islands. I spent too much time wondering why is all since I had nothing better to think of while doing busy work and trying to stay awake all night.
>>27498802
Well yes, but it was just a theory on what was different about the islands that causes the environments to be so different. Probably looking way too deep into it though.

Developed by humans, an exception.

Not truly changing its own type, it's taking on the type of a machine it possesses temporarily.
I actually like OP's theory about the stones, it would fit the alchemy theme well.
