in gen 4 i caught like 3 or 4 boxes full of nosepass and i gave them all unique nicknames, they were all my friends

if i can do that then everyone can nickname the pokemon they catch imo

Goku would be ashamed of you.
So are these Alola forms only applied to Pokémon caught specifically in the region or will any old Sandshrew banked over from previous games suddenly turn crystalline?

Also, crystal Onix please.

Apparently they're doing a SuMo manga where the main kid's partner is a Rockruff, which might be why they're being weird about his evolution.

I saw a post on some other forum that theorized the Rockruff evo could be a Lucario caliber design that GF might try to hype up as this gen's mascot (like they also tried with Zoroark). Sounded like a decent theory, but I guess we'll see.

If you catch it in the new game, it's the new form. If you caught it in the old game, it's the old form. When breeding, the form is hereditary.

It only applies to the ones caught in Alola. A Sandshrew brought over from another region is the only way to get a normal Sandslash, even.

Zoroark was an okay design, it just was A: hard to get and B: lacked a lot of the movepool and typing that made Lucario useful.

You know, I was never too big a fan of Zoroark's black frosted tips (singed tips?) to begin with, but you're right, brownish-red on purple is terrible.

I really liked that Zoroark never took off, like a friend once ranted about how Lucario was "fake popular" because of its push but even today it's still popular outside of competitive stuff because it was a popular mon while Zoroark got the exact same treatment and was never as popular as Lucario, to the point where a main selling point of B2W2 was that Riolus were readily available.

Admittedly my first exposure to Lucario was in SSBB but I do still just like it for some reason. It also gets more consistently pushed and the ways that it is pushed are better. Zorua got a movie and some hype about how it was going to have an exclusive move that was super hard to get and wow isn't that going to be cool.

And then we got Snarl on a fast but fragile dark type.

Fun fact: nicknaming pokemon and giving them to your friends is the best. I named a torchic oval office and gave it to my friend and it turned out to be one of his best pokemon.

(Later on it bred another torchic when he gave to me. He named it cunty)

also if you pick him you are a bonehead

if you get a bone rush for choosing lucario, you must be a bonehead
