Pokemon Sun/Moon Dev Talks New Alola Forms
Pokemon Sun/Moon has been a major hit all the way around. But it also changed up the formula of the games in many ways. One of those big ways was with the Alola Forms. Which were classic Pokemon like Meowth, Vulpix, Sandshrew, and more, but with a new look based on the new climates in Alola. In an interview with Meristation, Junichi Masuda of Game Freak talked about where the ideas for the new Alola Forms came from. Mainly, it was a nod to the gamers who have been with the game since Gen I: “In this case, the references are a nod to players who’ve been following the games since Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. For example, regional forms were meant to surprise players who were already familiar with these old Pokemon; Exeggutor is a good example, that in one island he appears with a long neck. In the future, if we find reason to do this again, we absolutely will, it’s something really interesting that has been really well received.”
