I feel like for this generation, there were either really good, creative regional variants, or really bad ones.
Like on one hand, you have Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash, and Alolan Raichu. In my opinion, these are very creative and well designed, having strayed far from their original designs, while still being very obviously linked to their original designs at the same time.
On the other hand, you have Alolan Meowth and Persian, Alolan Grimer and Muk, and Alolan Rattata and Raticate, which pretty much just turn a different color, or slightly change in shape, along with their new typing(s). This to me doesn’t feel nearly as thought out as the others.
Of course, this was their first time introducing the idea of regional variants, and every batch of Pokemon is going to have it’s good and bad designs. I guess I just would’ve liked to see more from some of them, especially since we saw such great designs introduced with them.
A reminder that I am a mere stranger on the internet, and this is all in my humble opinion. I have no experience in game developing, or designing Pokemon; only my experience playing the games and consuming other related media. I still thoroughly enjoyed almost every Pokemon game released, and look forward to the future releases as well.
Garfield cat. We had a chance for a sleek jungle cat with technician and physical dark stats, but it’s Garfield. Now I still have to use nasty plot liepard
That dugtrio….whatever that is… I know, I get the hair thing from whatever reason they gave as inpspiration..but it just looks horrible here, like a really bad cross dressing cosplay
Looking at all these forms and thinking about it, the only form I actually like is the Rattata line. I guess my least liked is persian, If you wanna make a fat cat, just make a fat cat. It just looks like if a fat guy got liposuction but kept the head fat to it.
Cactusy
I want to say Dugtrio, but that Persian….Looks like it was stung by a beedrill and swollen up.
I do like what they did with vulpix and ninetails though
Persian is horrible and I hate it
Alolan Persian looks sickening, and I hate that they did that to its design.
Diglet line all it did was add hair
alolan sandshrew and muk are pretty cool
Persian
Alolan Persian by a mile.
I don’t really like the alolan diglet Evo line
Alolan persian it literally looks like it ate a watermelon
Persian or raticate
I always forget that Alolan Raticate exists.
But I always remember how damn ugly Persian is.
So which is the “worst”, really?

Dugtrio
Dugtrio, they look like a 90s grunge band
Garfield cat. We had a chance for a sleek jungle cat with technician and physical dark stats, but it’s Garfield. Now I still have to use nasty plot liepard
I really hated Golems mustache and sternum bush
Persian and Dugtrio.
alolan dugtrio is a downgrade in all aspects
I dont hate any of them but dugtrio is the worst for me, all they did was add hair
That dugtrio….whatever that is… I know, I get the hair thing from whatever reason they gave as inpspiration..but it just looks horrible here, like a really bad cross dressing cosplay
Alolan Persian. It was between that one and Ratticate for me and I like that large rat.
Persian is the only right answer. Giovanni’s Persian was so boss and now.. look how they massacred my boy
Alolan Persian hands down
Persian

The wigs on dugtrio is dumb, sure. But what they did to poor Persian is just brutal.
Persian was a mistake so as the dugtrio
