Actual crossgens are cool, I have no issue with them.
Regional evolutions where they are a different path entirely than the original evolution (Runerigus, Perrserker, Sneasler, Clodsire) are also acceptable. Maybe not the designs themselves, but I don't hate them by principle.
But any regional evolution that leaves the classic form with nothing (Obstagoon, Cursola, Sirfetch'd, Mr. Rime, Overqwil, and arguably Basculegion since white stripe might as well be a regional form) upset me on account of what they are. If a regional gets an exclusive evolution, so should the classic, in order to balance things out. This is the SINGLE reason I agree with the "regional replacement" belief a lot of this board has, this practice is so egregious it tarnishes regional forms as a mechanic.
