Stunning that, a game set in a previously-featured region, some years after the initial presentation of the games featuring said region do not contain pokémon who only exist when they're subjected to evolutionary pressures over many, many years to adapt to their new environments.
It's almost as if they explained it in-game, by featuring pokémon taken out of their traditional habitats adapting to the new areas they ended up in (kinda like how real-world evolution works, same species' can adapt to fit varying roles, depending on what niches need filled).

Yeah, the air in Alola's different to the air in Kanto. That's why it gains Psychic abilities and learns to surf on air.
Why are you quoting canon at me, by the way? The same game that mentions that, also mentions Vulpix adapting to the mountains after being brought by the first settlers to the island.

There's a theory that Pikachu evolved into A-Raichu due to Palossand killing them, evolving/adapting to levitate off the ground so that they can't get them.

pic related.

do you really think that Gamefreak wouldn't retcon Kalos in a heartbeat if they wanted to? they don't give a fuck about continuity. they have the excuse that it can be an alternate timeline or whatever like they did with ORAS to justify mega evolutions in Hoenn.

And yet, they have the chance and choice to do fucking ANY other region and didn't. Much less, could have rocked Alola in the "no league" era it had. But they didn't do that either.
Sounds like you imagined an entirely different Gen 9 compliment and got pissy when your patterfaggotry got laughed at by Game Freak, No, they're not going to "retcon anything in a heartbeat" because they use it as a vehicle to SELL FUCKING TOYS AT KIDS, YOU BRAINDEAD STILLBORN CALF! They don't give a fuck about the region beyond being an excuse to release another 100-ish designs to sell toys of (everything outside Japan's been "nip fucker's impression of the world on holiday" and not an actual in-depth, culturally significant look into a people's lifestyle).

His own fault for being alternative and rejecting the ones with casual popularity, kek.

You also know they won't be telling us what happened to our main characters from a and y. I always wonder what happens to the game protagonist le after their games end. Red came back but I guess everyone after retired besides the black and white protagonists who fucked off somewhere.

The establishing lore of the series (the creation of poké ball tech, allowing transport of many pokémon over distances) precludes any of that shit happening - either in Gen 1 or today, with both creation dates being set as the mid-1920's (1925 in Gen 1, around 1921/1922 in L: A from context clues presented in the game). Never mind with the basis of the series being "bonding with a team of pokémon", going back to an era where they didn't have established pokéball tech requires a bullshit reason as to why ancient peoples understood the capabilities of pokémon, but those who came later displayed in the near past to the series' modern setting DON'T and think trapping them in little tiny balls is cruel (again being at odds with the established creation date for poké balls on top). Far easier to just hold to the lore of the series and not go so far back in time, you need to jump hoops to explain the modern trappings in an ancient era.

They do though. They may not give a fuck for your retarded headcanons of how the series works (or indeed your inability to understand the TV show was only ever flavour for their universe and not THE actual core canon of said universe).
