All if your suggestions so far are terrible! I mean stand back an d look at what you're saying.
The obvious idea for Alolan forms is to give the popular Gen 1 some limelight and to boost - mostly - good designs that have been neglected.
The other obvious idea is give these pokemon an edge with unique Typings and back story. All the Alolan forms are better than their original forms in some way. Be it design or typing.
Most have been retyped to what they shoukd have always been but we're not due to different types, game compatibility, and spreading the original types evenly across the original 151.
It terms of design and theme vulpix and Ninetails are perfect as ice ad ice/fairy.
Sandslash and sandshrew look amazing and unique.
Marowak never made sense as a ground type, but it's new typing does make sense and make it interesting.
Meowth shoukd have been dark the moment it was introduced.
I could go on.
Obvious Alolan forms would be:
Lapras into a dragon or fairy type with water.
Spearow/Fearow into dark type.
Snorlax into a psychic budda.
Arcaine line could look improved as a water type. Think dogs that ride surf boards.
Ratata line should obviously be dark, but I also think poison works as rats live in sewers etc. So toxic.
Weezing line could easily be psychic/poison to explain it's levitation.
Grimer and Muk line could easily turn ghost.
