Icelandic Water Dragon: “Unsolicited fact: the Johtonian Sneasel is the only Pokémon not native to Hisui that can be legitimately caught as an alpha. This thing’s gotta be pretty valuable!”
Icelandic Waters #1: “And then Z-A is going to bring a whole new region’s worth of alphas into circulation, and this thing’s value is gonna tank. That sucks.”
Icelandic Waters #2: Speaking of which, how are alpha Pokémon spawns going to work in Z-A? With wild zones the size of your living room, static spawns couldn’t sustainably work, and the 0.2-2% random alpha chance is too little to work with.“
Icelandic Waters #3: “But didn’t we get static alphas confirmed? In the trailers, I remember seeing an alpha Houndoom surrounded by Houndour, similar to the static spawning conventions we saw in LA. That thing is gonna massacre an entire generation of Mabostiff . . . or, in this case, Furfrou.“
Does Alpha Porygon count as native?
Yeah, I’m counting all the Pokémon with no regional variants as native. For my purposes, only the Johtonian Sneasel and the Alolan Vulpix count as non-native.
