You should have listed the entire dex of Pokémon.
We should have had an even spread among generations.

The point of the post shows that even the incredulously limiting "Kanto exclusive" concept they applied to Alolan forms is still infinitely more vast than what we got in the long run

It's such a lazy fucking mechanic, I don't get why they bothered

If they did, I personally think it would make more sense to do it properly and at least have half of the first generation have those forms. There was such potential, no Lapras, Snorlax, and not even Rapidash. I still think they should have had an even spread, even in spite of how badly they messed up.

Yeah, fuck gen 1 pandering. It sure would be stupid of GF to capitalize on all the fans attracted back to the franchise with Pokemon Go.

Statistics showed that Go had little to no effect on sales of Pokémon merchandise in general, including pre-orders for SM. If there really were a whole bunch of fans who came in because of Go, they're doing a damn good job of hiding it.

pokemon go was fad that eventually faded into this community.

You say that as if it was so obvious Rapidash should have got one.

It isn't exactly the first Pokémon most people think of when they think of Gen I and even if it was, we are already getting a new equine Pokémon line in Mudsdale that I'm sure GameFreak wouldn't want to draw attention from

Game Freak picked shit like Golem, Sandslash and Exeggutor for Alolan forms. In fact I would say the most relevant Pokemon they chose were Raichu, Ninetales and Persian. Marowak might be stretching it

There's really no logical consistence. They just chose a couple Pokemon without Megas or cross-gen relatives and called it a day

I'd say Exeggutor's the most relevant really.

Honestly, as silly as Exeggutor looks, it does make sense for Alola given that it's original form looked kinda like a coconut/palm tree Pokémon

But overall I'm not saying that I wouldn't want more Alolan forms than what we got, I'm more responding to Rapidash specifically given the existence of Mudsdale and Mudbray

Pegasus-like fire horse/unicorn. That would have made a logical Alolan form or mega for Rapidash.

Rapidash is in the first opening of the anime; it's pretty memorable.

Why is a Pegasus Rapidash particularly logical for Alola? And I don't think they've added any new Megas anyway, right?

I'm not saying Rapidash isn't memorable. Most Gen I Pokémon are memorable. But not any more than say Onix or Nidoqueen/king or any of the other ones who didn't get an Alolan form.

And once again, we are already getting a new horse-mon which I would think would work against selecting Rapidash to exist in the new region with a new form

I'm sorry I have things called standards, especially for an anniversary game celebrating the first games and of the entire series as a whole

Every time faggots like you gotta be a contrarian
