The only people who say this are apologists who want to make the game look better than it actually is.

There should at the least be sub-entries for different forms.

Why didn't they just make them branch evolutions with a different name?

>>29557957
Practically speaking, what difference would that make?

>>29557992
bypass species clause. that's literally it.

>>29557957
Branch evos usually look distinctive enough to be considered as new Pokémon. The same couldn't be said about palette swaps.

>>29557902
How could they be new Pokemon when they literally have the same names?

>>29557957
How would Alolan Vulpix, Grimer, Diglett, Meowth, Rattata, Sandshrew, or Geodude work?

how will the dex handle them?

Vulpix, Sandshrew would have probably passed as new mon to begin with. The others nope.
