What do you think are the geological/darwinian reasons on why Vulpix and Ninetails are ice types in Alola?

I thought /vp/ was smarter than this.
Because it looks more attractive now, which causes trainers to want it more and capture it. No longer does it have to deal with the cold, inhospitable mountains.
It gets warmth, food and shelter for the meager price of being pumped full of semen sometimes.

You have to go back.
I call it bullshit

It failed to compete for its typical niche as a Fire-type and had to forage outside of its usual territories for sustenance and survival. Vulpix more suited to the colder environments it was pushing into were more likely to survive and reproduce.

Random mutation that randomly allowed it to breed/be bred more

This. Alolan Ninetales is unironically beautiful and I want to cum inside it.

Everything Darwin said was applicable to only certain species of animals.
Sharks, which are ALMOST unchanged since their first noted ancestor, had descendants who were smaller due to the volume of sustenance to feed off and had a few changes to improve their function in certain waters.
While stuff like Birds and what not have slightly more significant changes.
It just happens that these changes take more than a few simple thousand years to really occur and makes it unlikely that humans evolved directly from the common shit flinging apes as many Darwin enthusiasts believe.

>lives in snowy mountains
>fire-type
yeah you guess
>you will never fuck your ice cold Ninetales on a hot summer day in Alola
why even live

It's that they share a common ancestor, not that humans evolved from modern apes.

If it was a fire type that was forced into a predominantly ice-type niche, wouldn't that make them the apex predators? Wouldn't there be MORE Kantonian minerals and vulpix simply because nothing threatened their existence?

>It is said that Vulpix came to the Alola region together with humans, but the Fox Pokémon moved to the snowy mountain peaks to avoid the normal habitats of other Pokémon, and thus it ended up taking on this form.
Against the case of "why didn't it just stay a fire type to keep warm", keep in mind that apparently combustion for fire type Pokemon uses up energy. Remember that episode where Ash and his Pokemon get stuck in a cave, and they use Charmander's fire to keep warm, but Charmander gets tuckered out quickly? It's probably the same as that.
In short, it seems that it's easier for a Pokemon to adapt to the cold rather than to combat it. Although I guess this applies to real life organisms, too.

Darwin never said that. They share a common ancestor, which was an ape. Anyone saying humans evolved from modern chimps are just wrong, and it's more often used as a strawman than anyone actually saying it seriously.

I think that Vulpix <3 the ice so much it wanted to be like it so it got colder until it became Alola Vulpix.

Darwin never said it, but there are autists out there who claim he did.
