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.

Anyone else feel that Sun/Moon looks like a mess of unfinished ideas? These look great in terms of design and functionality. But the actual alola forms we got are almost entirely trash and don't even make sense from a lore perspective.
Plus there's the new evil team. Team Skull, the first *literal* gang of inner city thugs. Saggy pants, backwards hat, etc. Now why would there be a stereotypical inner city gang on little tropical islands? That makes more sense for a large city. So shouldn't the evil team for Sun/Moon be fucking pirates? What's going on at GF to make these awful decisions?

>grass type sudowoodo
>>29287791
>region focussed on tradition and such has villains that are hyper modern
makes sense to me
besides, it's not like a team of Knight Templars was all that fitting for an urban region
>>29288095
>thing that defeats its own purpose doesn't exist
I suppose you also wanted Inkay and Malamar to be Water type?
>>29287561
Serves you right for getting excited in the first place.

Alola forms are such a good idea, but Game Freak really dropped the ball with the ones actually in the game. Only maybe 3 of the ones in the game are any good.
i made this yesterday
it doesn't actually learn any grass moves and the flower isn't even real
>tfw no ice/flying snow owl alolan noctowl with tinted lens
These statues that were shaped like a unknown pokemon never really mattered in the end.

Somebody post the seasnake ekans/arbok combo! I love that!
Some of these are pretty good.
Here is some other ideas for artists:
Redesign of Golem line to be made of volcanic obsidian, instead of a tazer.
Sundew Victreebel.
Palm fruit Pineco/Foretress.
Electric ray Mantine.
I feel like there has to be a native whale variant for Whalord or however it's spelled.
Hawai'i has native dragonflies and butterflies.
The concept of Island Gigantism/Dwarfism has not been played at at all as far as I can tell.
Fairy/fighting Clefable

Honestly I don't know why they didn't do more alolan forms.
Honestly the fact that they're all gen one pokemon doesn't bother me, but they should've made much more of them alolan forms.
There are definitely pokes who don't need them, like the starters, pokemon with megas, or the eevee-line
But some shit deserved it. Anything with an alolan evo should have an alolan form.
Ekans/Arbok definitely deserves one. A sea snake and moral eel would be cool as fuck. Machop line should've been the surfer-themed ones, not fucking diglett, out of any pokemon.
But why the hell isn't there any sort of psyduck/golduck. The state bird of hawaii is a Nene, which is basically a canada goose in hawaii.

>Snow Owl
I didn't know I needed this until now.
>>29288212
i'm really glad this wasn't true
Back when Alolan Forms were first revealed (and before we knew about yeti crab, obviously) I had the idea of Slaking migrating up to the mountaintops for whatever reason (Predators? Lack of food? Don't really know), and abandoning its lazy ways due to needing to keep its body heat up or else it will freeze to death. Here's a rough sketch.
It could have been Ice/Fighting, and since it wouldn't have Truant, it could have maybe had a stat rebalancing.Or Defeatist.
>Completely missing the point of sudowoodo
It should actually be part steel now
>>29288171
Inkay/Malamar is supposed to be a contrarian douchebag so no.
Poor example.
>>29292541
Defeatist sounds good, though interestingly Slaking wouldn't do so poorly with Slow Start.
>>29292602
Honestly Sudowoodo doesn't really need to adapt to Alola because it's meant to be a rock that pretends to be a tree. Maybe a design change to better look like the trees in Alola but that's it.

ORAS was the only chance it had to get something. It's gone now. He won't get another chance until at least the second RS remake.
>>29287791
Just like XY were.
Game Freak is really proving they have no idea what they're doing lately.
>no Alolan living fossils
>Lapras is still Ice type in a tropical region
>no beach ball Voltorb
>Fighting/Flying Alola Dodrio never happened
>no Fighting Alakazam
>my forever useless bro Golem has a goofy as fuck railgun and beard when it could've been a volcano monster
>no Flygon anything
>>29292541
Another idea I had was Alolan Breloom, who would have taken to living in caves, becoming unaccustomed to physical fighting and becoming bioluminescent as a result of its new dark habitat, thus taking on a Grass/Electric type.
>>29292665
Considering it gets Protect, that's a possibility.
Paras whose mushrooms died when they got to Alola so it gets huge
