I understand Gen 1 pandering, it is a smart business decision, but for fuck sakes why is there not a single form for a non-Gen 1 pokemon?

i am fine with the fact they only did this with gen 1, but it feels insane to have this few.

There is way too few of them. They fucked up this gimmick even more than they did with megas.

Hopefully they will add more in the 3rd version/sequels, maybe with them adding the Pokemon League we'll get some more content too.

>XY introduced 28 mega forms for fully evolved pokemon with +100 stat points and broken abilities
>SM introduces only 10 fully evolved different forms with reworked stats

it's one extreme to the other with game freak.

I expected them to make Gen2 Alola Forms at least. Disappointing.

Do we have all the sprites from the National Dex too? No way more Pokemon will appear there, but I think there could be a very small chance that some Alolan forms aren't available until post-game. Otherwise I genuinely just can't make sense of how few there are. It's nuts.

Actually, East/West forms would be cool, although I can see that being only forms for the DP Pokemon, though.

Pokemon that had evolutions or pre-evolutions that were introduced in any generation that wasn't Kanto were automatically excluded.

Legendaries excluded, starters excluded, fossils excluded, Eevee squad excluded, gimmickmons excluded, Pokemon with megas excluded (GF is way too lazy to account for "Alolan Mega [x]" scenarios)

Pretty sure there's not much left after that.

Plus, Mr. Mime, Jynx, Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff, Clefairy/Clefable, Snorlax, Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, and the Oddish line (excluding Bellosom) could have got ones too.

I think there would be around 35 lines or single mons left with that. Depending on what you see as a gimmick mon.
They could have at least given their version counter parts one too to make the pandering complete. So Growlithe, Ekans and Mankey's line at least.

Okay, so AAAAALL those lines are eligible for Alola forms

Now which ones would actually be interesting to see Alola forms *of* and not fluff/filler?
