Alolan Exeggutor is just a tall Exeggutor, so it can keep the same preevo. Pikachu and Cubone should've gotten Alolan forms though.

For the lore on why the various firm changes happened, it makes sense

Exeggcute staying the same makes sense logistically. They didn't want to change Pikachu, whether it would replace the original or, in this case, not. Cubone makes narrative sense but we have no way of knowing if they thought of that first or used it to retroactively explain Cubone not having one.

Alolan Marowak isn't really a physiological adaptation like most of the others. You could call it spiritual, magical, or just a question of willpower, but it makes sense that the change takes place only when it evolves. The Cubone might stay the same because they're sheltered and protected, but when they evolve it becomes necessary for them to hold their own and fend off the plentiful grass types of Alola.
It makes some sense at least.
Pikachu has less of a lore reason and more of a practical 'his tail is too small to ride.' Same for exeggcute. When the primary physical change is something that wouldn't make sense for the pre-evolved form, they don't bother.

I'm thinking that you won't be able to find exeggcute/cubone/pikachu in the wild, only their fully evolved Alolan forms.

yes, they made millions 3d models, and don't made one more because they're just too lazy. c'mon fag, they wouldnt make this focus just because "i'm tired of making models" "too expensive". alolan marowak has an story

Alola cubones don't lose their parents, who protect them from grass pokeys. Yet, somehow, they still have their conpletely alive mother's skull. Great lore GF.

>it doesn't make sense in their own lore
"There are many Grass-type Pokémon—Marowak’s natural enemies—in the Alola region. This makes Alola a harsh environment for Cubone and Marowak. As a result, they live in close union with their partners. It’s said that their great care for their partners allowed them to gain something like a sixth sense and resulted in their changed form."

Yes that explains why Marowak is different but not why Cubone is the same.

to take care of their partners, it doesn't need to take care of it's partners if they already can take care of themselves
