I just came home from work where I had to laugh every 15 minutes remembering how ridiculous alola exeggcute looks.

definitely gonna get one in my first play through.

wat are your opinions on it and the other alolan forms?

I personally like the concept but I'm not a fan of ruining old pokmeon by giving them an ice typing

This. Four of five are Ice type. In a tropical region (and yes, I know volcanoes can still have snow in tropical areas).

Also, Alola Exeggutor is majestic.

Ice typing was designed to be the glass canon type, and then GF just gave every water type ice moves and poorly stated every single Ice pokemon to be bulky tanks.

Ice has the potential to work, it just needs pokemon with better stats.

All of the new designs are fanfuckingtastic, can't wait to see what else they come up with. I have a feeling it's only gonna be the original 151 again though.

i like all of the designs but i would have preferred if they retained some of their original typing

i.e.
>sandrew = ground/ice
>vulpix = fire/fairy (or ice/fire?)

How is it "ruining" old Pokemon if the originals still exist?

10/10 so far. I'm glad that they're actually making use of the ice mountain. I also feel that they nailed the tropical theme.

Making good use of the ice mountain while nailing the tropical theme. I also really love the subspecies and the descriptions for them seeing how real Hawaii is endeminism central.

I'm kind of hoping some variants get an additional evolution.

Sort of like how Alola's Exeggcutor is it's "true" form, perhaps only Alola's Exeggcutor has a third stage? Would give GF another reason to bullshit third stages onto old pokemon again.

I feel like they were extremely unnessicary. They should've made a new arctic fox, dragon tree(?) Pokemon. They're so different than their normal forms, that the only thing they share is basic design. However, I like them, and Executor is definately my favorite.

At least they aren't getting their own pokedex entries, dex numbers, and names. That would be super lazy and be the worst kind of variant. Look at digimon:
Augumon
Blackaugumon
Toyaugomon

Simple reskins and "dex" padding.

I don't think it's a joke, GF stats based off the pokemon's design rather than balance.

Since ice type mons are mostly fat as fuck or crystalline, they are stated like walls.

Notice how the only fast ice types are a ninja weasel and an ice ghost based on a yokai known for being quick with a bow.
