I don't think it's fair that Alolan variant Pokemon are only side notes on their "normal variant" pages. These Alolan formes are not like Hoopa Unbound or Arial Shaymin. Those Pokemon eventually find ways of returning to their original formes. These Alolan formes are inherent to the Pokemon, they will never change into their "normal" counterpart. They will have different abilities, different move sets, different typings. I think they merit having their own pages. For example keep the regular Ninetales page, and add another one entitles Ninetales (Alola). | |||

Is "Regional variant" an official term?
Is this an official term? I know Alolan Forme is, but is this as well?Trainer Yusuf (talk) 12:44, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Arbok
Shouldn't Arbok's regional forms be listed here? If I remember correctly, its pattern changes in every region in which it appears. Menace64 (talk) 02:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- This is a formal thing. If Arbok is not identified as a "regional variant", it's not one.
- Also, regional variants are fundamentally pretty significantly different from the rest of their species; they've adapted. Differing patterns is neither significant nor a real adaptation. Tiddlywinks (talk) 02:29, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Alolan Variants Should Have Their Own Pages
I don't think it's fair that Alolan variant Pokemon are only side notes on their "normal variant" pages. These Alolan formes are not like Hoopa Unbound or Arial Shaymin. Those Pokemon eventually find ways of returning to their original formes. These Alolan formes are inherent to the Pokemon, they will never change into their "normal" counterpart. They will have different abilities, different move sets, different typings. I think they merit having their own pages. For example keep the regular Ninetales page, and add another one entitles Ninetales (Alola).
