So how do these Alolan forms work?

Because I want Alolan Raichu to be the permanent Raichu design for me for the foreseeable future

Probably gonna be if you catch a Pikachu in Alola or breed a Pikachu in Alola it'll evolve into Alola Raichu, but if you bring a Pikachu that was bred/caught in any of the other regions into S/M it evolves into regular Raichu.

Pretty sure you just capture a native Pikachu and evolved it.

I wonder what will they do with Alola forms in the future games when Alola is no more. Also, is it called "Alolan Raichu" or just "Raichu" in game?

This. Remember that "+" that appears in the stat screen of Alola native pokemon? That's how the game knows what form a pikachu, cubone, exeggcute, etc. should evolve into.

>>27705899
So it follows in response to this question that when you trade an Alolan pikachu to future games, it will evolve into Alolan Raichu. But it is unlikely that you will be able to find these Alolan forms in the new games, as they won't be native to new regions which will probably have their own unique forms. In short, you'll be making use of the pokebank to transfer them over.

My idea is that there would be an NPC that would turn your Pokemon into Alola-mons.

Pikachu caught in Alola will have a little number in their code that says "ALOLA PIKACHU" and that Pikachu will always evolve into Alola Raichu.

>>27705899
Option 1: Gamefreak completely ditches the concept after this generation. The most likely option.

Option 2: Next generation they start to do forms of Gen 2 Pokemon, and so on.

It's just called Raichu. In the pokedex it will likely differentiate it as an Alolan form.

Because it's a form it'll probably just be named raichu, but in the pokedex on forms it'll probably tell you it's alolan like the other forms

No, why would it? This isn't like Magnemite becoming Steel type in Gen 2, Alonan Raichu's aren't replacing all Raichu's they're just a seperate form, the game will just have both Raichu's data and will just give you the form you should have when you transfer it.

Are you retarded? Did you think Alola forms were permanent changes to the old Pokemon?

That was option 1, which is the most likely.
The coolest feature in years and it'll be gone in a few.

No, but I sure as fuck hoped Raichu would become psychic in the regular form, because I like the typing but hate the new form.

Why would you want all Raichu to become Electric/Psychic without anything else Alola Raichu's going to get? Regular Raichu gets no damaging Psychic moves so all the typing would do is give him extra weaknesses with no benefits.

allowing Raichu to learn psychic attacks would be a obvious thing if that were to happen, don't you think?

No, considering it's been an electric type for 6 generations. Why would Gamefreak let it learn psychic moves suddenly in Gen 7 when people transferred their level 100 raichu bros all the way from Gen 3 or even Gen 1?

Then there would be no fucking difference between the two forms?

Did you think that all ninetales would be ice/fairy too?

The only thing that makes any of what you're saying reasonable is the fact that you're probably really underage

Hold items for breeding Alola eggs seems likely.
