Description     So was talking about this concept with somebody not to long ago and thought it was an interesting idea to see what these guys would look like if they got Alolan forms. I feel like there's no chance of that happening but it's still a fun what if game to play. So I doodled up some ideas of what the 9 of them might get if they were given a new form (using the 9 types that are left). I didn't spend to much time on em, mostly just doodles with some raw coloring. Was mostly focused on the concept more so than anything else with these. Below is an explanation

    Eevee, for Eevee I wanted to keep the normal look of it, it doesn't have any elemental abilities really. Well Pokemon has all prehistoric Pokemon be rock type, Aerodactyl, Tyrantrum, Armaldo, etc. So why not turn Eevee into a little Sabre Tooth Tiger and call it rock type? Plus it fit the evolution theme Eevee has with Eevee being a ancient creature that turns into a more modern one. Plus, he's pretty cute like that, so I think it works all around myself. 

    Vaporeon, Vaporeon was obvious for me, it already kind of looks like a Sea Dragon, so just add a few bits and bam, Dragon type. If he looks a little familiar, that's because this design was based on the same myth that Magikarp and Gyarados were based on. That being that Karp go on a long journey and the ones that survive will reach a waterfall where they have one last challenge, if they succeed, they become a Dragon. So Vaporeon was a fish that became a Dragon, seems to fit to me so why not?

    Jolteon, Jolteon was the hardest one for me, since most of these guys had an obvious one I felt could suit the role or something that just kind of worked, Jolteon really kind of didn't. Well I eventually gave it bug because one of Jolteon's most well known for attacks is Signal Beam, some people (myself included) were even upset that there was no way to get Jolteon that move in X and Y. Plus flying insects are pretty fast, so I think it works anyway. Wanted Jolteon to sort of look like a hornet, quick, deadly insect.

    Flareon, this one was pretty obvious for me as far as which type to give to Flareon, since Flareon is a physical attacker and could desperately use some help in that category. Well how about giving it STAB with one of the best physical moves in the game, Earthquake (likely get access to Stone edge too)? As for designing it, well Flareon already sort of has a headdress anyway, so I went with that and made Flareon an Egyptian Pharaoh. Think it fits and looks pretty good myself.

Espeon, Espeon was another one of the ones that seemed pretty straight forward to me. Make it a ghost type. Espeon fits the bill pretty well in general, being a fast special attacker with respectable special bulk, so I think it works. As far as design goes, mostly just wanted to give it an Erie sort of look, like with the floating beads, no neck, ghostly tail, stuff like that.

    Umbreon, Well what is the most common attack Umbreon knows? That be Toxic, so why not go with poison type? I wanted to utilize the rings too, so to do that, I made them have a radioactive green glow instead of the normal yellow one. Which I think looks pretty good. Not to much else to say, Umbreon's radioactive now.

    Leafeon, Leafeon worked with a couple different ones, Flying, bug, Poison, etc, so I pretty much just picked the one I liked the best. Well I like this Green Parrot concept the best myself, with the leaves turning into feathers and it becoming flying type. There's also some good flying type moves like Brave Bird Leafeon might like to have and in the anime, Leafeon did sprout some wings once, somehow, so kind of works.

    Glaceon, I went with Steel type here, feel like it makes the most since for an Ice type to become. An even harder substance. I like Transformers, so initial thought was to make a robot out of Glaceon. Think it looks pretty cool myself. Not to much else to say.

    Sylveon, So with Sylveon, most people think of it as being innocent and cutesy. Well in the actual game, this thing is complete nightmare, so wanted to have something that played into that and works with the ribbons. Well a black belt fighting type looks pretty good I think. Give her Focus blast and she's got all she needs.

So that's them, what you guys think? Personally I feel this isn't going to happen, they would have to devote 9 of this new mechanic to just Eevee (8 if Eevee itself doesn't get one) so I sincerely doubt they'll be getting one myself. Still cool to think about it though.

*Also I haven't said anything about the Alolan forms yet, I like the concept a lot, think it's pretty creative myself. Personally I hope it doesn't overshadow adding new Pokemon to the games though like the Mega forms did in gen 6. I hope this is just a cool new thing and doesn't take the place of introducing new ones. We'll see I guess.*

**Also if you're curious why I called these Regional Eevees instead of Alolan Eevees, it's because I expect this to become a regular thing, like when the Gen 4 remake comes out, we'll get some Sinnoh _______ (which if they do, might allow for Eevee and friends to get one) and such, so just going to group these guys together as Regional Pokemon apposed to strictly Alolan forms. We'll see if that turns out to be the case.**

***I do have an idea for a Poison type Leafeon and a Steel type Sylveon I might end up showing off, because I do think they're pretty cool too. Let me know if you would like to see them too or not***

*EDIT* So apparently you can't zoom in on this, so hopefully that layout will show more details then. You can hit download if you want to see the full size of this.

About Jolteon: I always associated it with Pin Missile, not Signal Beam, but that move's still bug type, so it doesn't really matter that much.

PM-James In reply to HeraldOfOpera [2017-02-28 08:05:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah Pin Missile was associated with Jolteon for a while, especially in RBY.
It got access to Signal beam in gen 5 and that pretty much sealed the deal on that since Signal beam offered the same appeal (SE against grass, psychic and dark coverage), it was special so Jolteon could put EVs in speed and Sp.Attack (even with EVs in attack, Pin Missile would still have to hit at least four times to even compare to 0 EV Signal beam) and Signal beam is also slightly more reliable due to 100 Accuracy (Pin missile is like 90 or something like that) and it has a confusion chance, which could help keep physical attackers off of Jolteon too.

HeraldOfOpera In reply to PM-James [2017-02-28 17:49:12 +0000 UTC]

Well, I was talking about gen 1, because that was when SE psychic coverage was at its most important, and Jolteon was just about the only Pokémon that got any and was otherwise worth using, especially since you didn't have to choose between offensive stats in those days. It's not nearly as important nowadays because only one of those types actually resists Jolteon's main type, and you don't generally use coverage on things that don't.

PM-James In reply to HeraldOfOpera [2017-02-28 19:42:46 +0000 UTC]

Well it does open the door to sweeping with Jolteon. If you run something like Signal beam, Charge beam and hidden Power ice, you can cover grass, bug, psychic, flying, water, ground and dragon and have an attack that is neutral to Steel. So you would have a pretty nice coverage all around, be able to raise Sp.Attack constantly (and deal with Ground types trying to stop that), be going first while doing so, and still have a fourth slot for anything else you might want (maybe Baton pass to send the Sp.Attack boosts to somebody else, thunderbolt to pump out a stronger STAB, Quick Attack to ensure you go first, stuff like that). Jolteon's kind of frail though, so it might not work, may need to save that for later apposed to opening with it.

They all make sense. I drew my own attempt at an alolan type Glaceon where it was Ice/Fighting.

The lore is basically that one got stuck in a ice cave where the entrance kept freezing over. Ice resists Ice so it couldn't do much to escape, so it wrapped it's bangs around the forepaws and started painfully punching away at the frozen entrance.

When it escaped, it learned how it could keep the paws safe with the bangs so started being more physical in attacking. It would stay on four paws and slap a strengthened tail into the opponent to daze them, and then syand upright for a few seconds and deliver a powerful punch. It only stands up to attack for that brief moment. Over time the bangs and tail grew so long that it had to start wrapping them around the paws.

If I didn't suck at the picture ls so far, it'd definitely be in my gallery!

They're pretty cool btw! Leafeon temporarily had wings in the sinnoh anime during a contest. Sorry for massive post. xD

Sounds interesting, no backstories to these really, mostly just types I thought would fit them more than anything else.

Oh I'm sure it look just fine C=

No probelm. I'm not as familiar with the anime as I am with the other stuff, just remember seeing that in an AMV before.
