I've seen a lot of hate for regional forms in general but I'm generally a fan of them. What do you guys think of them?

I like them too. don't really get the hate. I think it's smart.
I feel like fan artists used to draw variations of Pokemon, and people liked stuff like Delta Pokemon in the TCG. but then GF started doing variations officially, everybody turned on it for some reason. I think it's the same mentality of Smash players who hate clones because it's taking up imaginary "slots". people feel robbed because they think every regional form is one new Pokemon they didn't get. which I don't think is necessarily true.

They're cool but they need to make it easier to get hisuian forms. For some reason the only one that made the transfer to the main game was fucking Qwilfish/Overqwil and Kleavor.

The Hisuian trio was the best trio since Gen 4.

Perrin gives you a Hisuian Growlithe, so there's that.

they were a mistake. they only exist because gamefreak is lazy and knows fans will praise something for no reason other than it looks 90% similar to a pokemon they like that already exists

Conceptually they're great, pretty much all monster franchises have variants so it makes sense for Pokemon to do it too, and for the most part Game Freak does a good job at makign them feel like more than just recolors.
The only issue is that Game Freak tend to use them in place of actual buffs or letting the original shine. So sometimes it just comes across as them not considering the original good enough and waning to replace it.

shill mentality. gamefreak's laziness needs to be criticized and doing so is morally justified

Remember you're in an echo chamber on here. The majority of people like regional forms.

They shouldn't exist if they have more evolution stages than the original line.
For example Obstagoon should not be a thing without original Linoone getting its own new evolution.

Regionals are awesome, the best possible way to handle variants in a monster collecting game as they're pretty dang different for the most part and addd some nice flavor to each region by playing with environmental adaptation. If there was an issue I'd pick out from them is regional evos of regular mons, it's hard to figure out what evolves into something new when you start a new game and the mon is left with a hard to obtain evo in future games.

Most of the "hate" is just one autist baiting for free replies. Regionals are based until they do that "variant exclusive evo" shit

As much as I like Obstagoon, Hoennian Linoone really should've gotten a new evo, too. It'd only be fair.

in concept they're really cool but i don't like the fact that they're being used as a substitute for making as many actual new pokemon as they used to in gens 1-5
this also applies to paradoxes, and convergents, and to a lesser extent megas and gigantamaxes
