let me guess, you think all of gen 5 being gen 1 clones with no personality of their own is a good thing.

I meran it is horse shaped, there can be more then 1 horse pokemon. Look at eevee we can have pokemon of the same body type and different elemental type,. WTF is this naming it a regional variant bullshit, the idea of regional variants is simply wrong.

I always thought they were stupid because pokemon have pun names. Sandshrew doesn't make sense being an Ice type.

It's a weather-themed mon so its name makes total sense.

But something going ice type and being called SANDshrew is total retarded

This is not how evolution works.
Looks 100% identical only different hair.
This is not how real evolution works.

Pictured how humans who evolved into see creatures will look like,

your

that?

Are you fucking retarded? Shit looks sloppy and dumb as shit, fuck you OP.
Anyway, if they made them separate Pokemon OP would bitch about it still
OP would cry and scream about how the designs are too similar.
OP would make a post suggesting a concept like regional variants (but dumber because he's OP) as an alternative.
I guess what I'm saying is: OP is a faggot.

The term you're grasping for is "Cline."
Regional variants are literally the Pokemon world's equivalent of Cline.

See >>50197751

Exactly my point look how these dogs have different faces.

This is by little pressure there is not way in hell that magically nothing about the animal changes except its hair color and magically it gets a totally different type WTF ?!

Also do we call dogs:
>Dog British variant
>Dog Spain variant
?
No they all have different names.

Also should switching elemental type like this be the most extreme thing ever ?

>>50197790
It is named a RACE anon.

>Regional forms are just like different ethnicities of humans
Except one can shoot fire and is on fire and the other is a Psychic/Fairy pretty extreme change.

>ethnicities of humans
Yea only if we did have a name for this like NIGGERS, Asians, White. OH WAIT !

I do not know how you classify them literally being a different elemental type. Its not like its a rapiodash that has something extra etc.

>unless of course
Counter question why do eevee evolution's have different names ? I mean there is more of a reason to call them
eevee fire type
eevee water type
eevee electric type
etc.

You are a hyper retard, 1 million years ago you were still flinging shit while physically modern horses were running free. Also Zebra and other modern wild horses like the Takhi and wild asses disagree with your dumbass sentiment too.

This is true even if names like rapidash still make sense
So assuming that regional forms represent speciation and forms will eventually branch into wholly distinct species, what names would you guys give them?
