A "sand"shrew that migrated to cold areas and developed a body more suited for the cold. It's just a form change, don't know why people overthink this. And they went the next step when people bitched about this by making Galarian-evos and people still bitched.

Runerigus wasn't called Galarian Cofagrigus because it wouldn't make sense.
This guy should've been called Snowshrew.

because it’s an evolution into a completely different pokemon. Yamask didn’t get a new name even though it doesn’t have a mask anymore. Stop being autistic

It was called a different Pokémon because it was a different Pokémon
Whereas Alolan Sandshrew is still the same Pokémon. You might want it to have a different name, but you can guarantee the other half of the board would shid and cry about being “sold recolours as new Pokémon”

in universe "sandshrew" is the complete word for the species name, its not named after the english word(as the language is likely not even english in the first place). In-universe its just a Sandswhrew that developed that way in Alola.

Kantonians BROUGHT the fucking things over, you retarded cunts. The Alolans would call them what the Kantonians called them, because they didn't just *appear* as ice-typed to them.

The real reason is that Sandshrew is a KANTOOOOOO mon so they kept the same name to appeal to nostalgiafags.

If there's anything Viva Piñata taught me, it's that snow and sand are both types of grass.
