Breeding ahead of Alola forms-viable?

>>27951326
exxegutor face with "delet this" please?

>>27951326
I wish they would throw us a bone and let us know what we can do to prepare: will you be able to breed Alola forms from national forms? I don't imagine switching back and forth between forms will be possible, considering they have different movesets.

I just want a smug Meowth in a Heavy Ball.

The region adapt the poke, so if born in Alola is gonna be an Alolan form.

I'm willing to bet that they are treated by the game engine (at least as far as breeding goes) as completely separate species.

So Alolan Vulpix/Ninetales will only breed to Alolan forms (even in the inevitable 3rd and 4th games of this gen) and the originals will only breed to the originals (based on the species of the mother, obviously)

I am guessing it will be gender based. Like if the female is Alolan, the egg will be Alolan, otherwise is will be normal. Or something to that effect.

prepare the injections boys

This is likely. The big question though, is about evolved forms like marowak and exeggutor. Either the game has some way of detecting when a cubone is from Alola, or else Alolan Marowak has a different evolution method.

The games already detect regions.

>>27952360
it's based on region

that makes sense but

Still wanna breed a classic Ninetails with Ice Beam

The Alolan forms came about due to actual Darwin evolution. You should still be able to breed non-Alolan forms so long as you don't mix the Alolan forms with the non-Alolan forms.

>eggs only inherit the form of the mother

You probably can't do anything, except for exeggcute maybe, since it seems only exeggutor is the variation.
Other than that, I would guess only female Alolan variants can breed Alolan variants, aside from male + Ditto.

Look at how Deerling and Sawsbuck work in Gen 6 without seasons.

Are you stupid? If this was the case, how could you ever hatch a regular Vulpix in Alola?

>>27955893
You don't obviously, you trade from x/y/OR/AS

>>27956353
this can't be true, we've already seen a regular meowth in the overworld and not an alolan one

>>27956550
That's the player character's family's meowth that came with them from another region.

get a regular vulpix. Breed it

Since there are multiple islands wouldn't it be possible to find regular forms on other islands where they didn't change forms?

How sad are all the people with shiny Ninetales going to be over Alolan Ninetales?

>>27956874
i dont think so, since the new forms is clearly a reference to darwin islands - and all islands there had a different species that branched from the original one.

also having rare pokemon like vulpix in more than one location would be a little weird?

it would make more sense that each island would have different types of subspecies of pokemon maybe?

>>27956905
what would shiny alolan ninetales look like?

>>27956913
Yeah that's what I was thinking because their had to of been regular vulpix somewhere first and then it was just a group that changed. Maybe they will be added into different routes in post game.

>>27956928
Like regular Ninetales, I hope.

>>27952269
We don't have any confirmation yet.

I hope it's tied to genetics, as in, if the mother is Alolan Ninetales then you get an Alolan vulpix. It'd make more sense.
