I can't get over now freaking cute Alola Raichu looks! This probably means Pichu and Pikachu have Alola forms, too.

Also, Guzma looks familiar. Wasn't he in X & Y???

Out of all the Ahola region forms I've seen I really like the designs they've done for Marowak and making it a fire and ghost type now was neat as well, also I'm happy now we're getting to see more water type pokemon considering the region

English names for the new Pokémon revealed:

Morelull (Nemashu)
Wishiwashi (Yowashi)
Pyukumuku (Nemakobushi)

Alolan Raichu's appearance may be a reference to Puka from the episode Pi-Kahuna.

Seeing how the new form of Raichu is standing on its tail like that, I really hope it can learn surf. Since we are in Hawaii there should be at least one Pokémon based on a surfer right?

This Raichu is slightly tanned, so I hope so too.

The fish? Its "wishiwashi" in english, and doesn't seem to be a mythical one to me. Its just a fish that swarms into a school to look bigger.

Pyukumuku's Ability, Innards Out, is somewhat similar to Aftermath and the Fighting-type move Final Gambit.

Glad to see we came to the same conclusion here. He also got some really weird custom shades.

I think this Raichu is cute enough to be the potential new mascot if Pikachu ever evolves.
