Ever since we got Alolan forms, every game needs an NPC that traveled from a different region to hand you an Alolan Vulpix just to explain why they're in the game, when they could have just been based on biome instead of region this entire time.Every region with a snowy area could have Ice type Vulpix available instead of some random trade or gift NPC, but immediately going into Galar they made half the regionals into UK jobmons so they can't really do that anymore.Gen 9 as a whole only having two regionals makes it seem like they're getting phased out for convergents or something else anyway, just feels like such missed potential they could have had if it was just adapting older Pokémon to different environments which has always been a popular concept with fakemon designs.
>>58750146too longdidn't readevery single regional is superior to its original form, you're just mad your favourite shitmon will never be worthy of getting anything new in the future.
Tauros getting three regional forms in the same region was kinda BS, they should've just made regional variants fo Miltank and Bouffalant instead.
I always felt this away about the regional forms too, so you're not alone. Why not just have "mountain Sandshrew" or "tropical Exeggutor."
>>58750571because otherwise you wouldn’t be forced to buy the dlc/home to get those nugen recolor.
If Pumpkaboo's forms can get a rename, regional variants can too.
>>58750198Should've just been blaze its the only one that plays around with the bull theme aqua would've been more appropriate for an actual buffalo like bouffalaunt

>>58750146I don't know why gamefreak feels the need to include all regional forms of a given mon, anyway. We've had dex cuts AND form cuts before. Why not limit the next gen to only having alolan meowth instead of randomly including the other two? etc. It was... cute, I guess, in sm, when visitors from kanto had their original forms. But that's not required for the concept at all.It's just more 'tism. Beyond that they could easily pivot to using them for biome-dependency; alolan vulpix in a snow biome outside of alola: "These vulpix are remarkably similar to the forma native to the Alola region." as a dex entry. Done. Easy.
