>>50202250We should have gotten Alolan variants of Archen/Tirtouga. Kecleon, Mantine, and Chatot/Drifloon all deserved variants since they have species that are native to Hawaii and aren't really filled by niches of the species the game added.
Alolan Forms' inclusion were such a great idea that ended up being frustrating when you realize their entire purpose was just to fill type gaps that would be in Alola and a Kanto-only remake. One of the few if not only things Gen 8 did better than Gen 7 was promoting regional forms from a one-off gimmick into something that's a natural inclusion like other forms or megas. There really is no excuse for doing this shit when FRLG already fills the corporate version of Kanto and a true remake could have just added Houndour, Murkrow, and Sneasel to fill in the lack of dark types in Kanto.
