@Quest: I have, several people have complained about the Fire-type's final evolution but since it's Fire/Dark instead of Fire/Fighting, I personally don't have a problem with it. I'm still unsure which one I'll pick and I think the mid-stage evolutions will shed some light on this. The Water-one fits the pattern of a feminine starter, as of Serperior/Delphox in the past.

As for Alola forms, those are of Pokemon that are thriving in Alola. I personally love what Pokemon they've chosen as the ones to prosper in this region, the snowy Vulpix/Ninetales melts my heart.

First off, we have Exeggutor. Something that's trending right now is the fact that this very Exeggutor was seen twenty years ago in a poster..

I personally think that it looks intimidating. Having lost it's Psychic typing, it cannot sense opponents and instead has a fourth head at it's tail to block the attack of enemies to the rear. The Pokemon excels at whipping it's long head like a lash.

What I'm thinking is what would happen if a Pokemon used Cut on this thing? :P

The change in it's form is due to sunlight pouring down onto Alola.

Next we have Sandshrew/Sandslash. While it lived in the desert areas of the Pokemon world, the eruption of volcanoes made it migrate to the snowy mountains. It has adapted to the harsh environment with a shell covering it's skin and so it excels at defending itself due to the Steel-like texture of the shell. However, it can no longer roll into a ball.

It's heavy weight makes it's slower but it's claws on it's hands and feet like it move across ice. When it wants to move quickly, it uses it's stomach to slide. When it evolves into Sandslash, it's spiny backs are covered with ice. These needles are sharp and can cause severe damage onto opponents who may come across a Sandslash.

They are able to move with swiftness by creating a path with their claws. The sprays of snow kicked up are so beautiful that some photographers take off into the snowy mountains to capture the moment. However, it is forbidden to climb the mountains without permission due to the Sandslash living deep into the mountains.

Alolan Vulpix live in mountains that are covered in snow all year round, they live in small packs helping each other survive. They can freeze anything solid due to the -58 degrees Fahrenheit temperature of it's breath.

It doesn't fare well in heat and when the temperature becomes high, it produces ice using icy wind that it blows from it's tail to lower the temperature. Ninetales live on a snowy peak of what is referred to as a holy mountain. This Pokemon's personality is extremely gentle and it helps people who may be in distress. However, it shows no mercy to anyone who damages it's territory (Bai Team Rocket).

The Alolan Ninetales produces ice crystals from the fur that covers it's body and uses it to block attacks or form blocks of ice and fires these ice missiles like bullets, this is great enough to pulverize rock.
