VIDEO: 10 Rumored Pokémon That Didn’t Make It To Sun and Moon

I mean technically Exeggutor could be considered a "dragon fruit pokemon" according to the Gajun Goomba but eh. I like the other Bonusweet evolution. Like maybe one evolution could have been male exclusive and the other female exclusive. That would have been cool.

Also I'm pretty sure everyone was disappointed that there was no Water-type Arcanine. Or an Alolan Arcanine at that. EVERYONE.

I feel as though some of these - like the dragonfruit, spider monkey, lava pigs and flower creature - can easily be saved for later generations, much like how Shellos and Gastrodon were originally going to be Gen III Pokémon. Others, like Pikipek's original evolutions and the rock tiki, may have more difficulty due to being similar to existing Pokémon. The Alolan forms are either going to be reused if the mechanic of regional variation ever returns, or probably left abandoned. I did really like all of these though, and I'm hoping that at the very least Turtonator's pre-evolution returns, alongside one for Drampa.
