It got confirmed that the following Pokémon will NOT have an Alolan form (Or at least that's what I have read)
2 things I want to point out:
1.- All the "unconfirmed Pokémon" are gen 1 Pokémon (except for Crobat, which is an evo of a gen 1 mon), which implies that Alolan forms are (for the most part) exclusive to gen 1 Pokémon
2.- Arcanine is confirmed to not have an Alola form... which contradicts that chinese leak... I don't what to believe now
Also... does someone knows what is the black simbol that appears right next to the Pokémon type?

Chinese leaks did not mention anything about Alolan forms.It got confirmed that the following Pokémon will NOT have an Alolan form (Or at least that's what I have read)

People are confusing Chinese leaks with 4chan Beware leak because they were on the same page on PokeJungle.net
Well well well! Looks like a certain scientist from 5th Gen IS coming over to Alola! Just not the one I thought would be ^^; And according to our translator, they are assisting Aether with the Ultra Beast research.

I don't remember her from 5th gen. Was she B2W2 only?
Where is this from? And is it literally saying "these will not have new forms"? That seems the worst information to give to your fans pre-release lolIt got confirmed that the following Pokémon will NOT have an Alolan form (Or at least that's what I have read)

Professor Burnet from Dream Radar.
I haven't heard of Chinese XY leaks.
I think Sun Moon Chinese leaks are due to the 3rd party Chinese translation team that do not work for Nintendo.
AH. I never played B2W2 and never did the dream radar. I was falling out of pokemon at the time. I am told I really missed out though. That and Platinum(and the remakes of gen2).
I don't think that means they definitely don't have Alola forms. If Dragonite doesn't get a buff, I'm really interested in Gamefreak's reasoning. It's like they insist on Salamence having to be better. Anyway, some scenes that I liked~
I like the japanese trailers better since they are really showing off the setting and world a lot more. Wish the english ones did this
The most interesting thing about Professer Burnet's reveal is that she's a scientist that specializes in Pokemon from different dimensions. Not only that, I think its the first time a spinoff app character got pulled into the actual canon games! Another tradition shattered in this gen!
18 Trial Captains...that seems like to much really. I don't want to have to visit 18 Trial areas and do all their puzzles etc.
This trailer looks amazing, like, I love this trailer. This should be the new trailer standard, not the typical ones we usually get. The music is amazing and I love the scenes with Solgaleo and Lunaala. It's. So. Amazing.
Crazy, I'd almost forgotten about her. I wonder if she'll have anything to do with the ultra beasts.
Those japanese trailers are awesome. I love the new environments.
The Meowth have his Alolan form. Why do they show us a Meowth-A with a normal Hypno if there is a Hypno-A?
I expect Mega Dragonite. Pretty sure at this point there is no Alolan Dragonite.
Think we have a chance of getting an Alolan Far'fetched? While fearow has always been my fav gen 1 bird(even have a shiney with adamant I caught in fire red), Far'fetched has always been a soft spot. I think he deserves a alolan form, maybe making him Steel/flying samurai bird? A offensive alternitive to our other steel bird.
The same reason why we've seen both Kantonian and Alolan Meowth in Alola (You can clearly see a regular meowth inside your house in one of the early videos). Just because a pokemon has an alolan form it doesn't nescessarily mean that that's the only form we'll be able to find that pokemon in. For what is worth, Alolan-Hypno is still as likely as Alolan-Blissey.
The Alolan Meowth in your house is the exception that proves the rule (I hate that expression). It's a Meowth that was specifically brought from another region when your family moved, and I'm sure the idea is to teach the player about regional variants. I think it's really unlikely that you'll be able to find and catch non-Alolan Pokémon in Alola before the post-game. And I think it's also really unlikely that they'd be showing the post-game in these trailers.

Gabriel in Spanish. Why are we out of a sudden getting biblical names?
Also, it's quite funny that they lampshaded the similarities by saying "Is this Professor Oak's Alola form?"
Professor Samuel Oak and now Professor Samson Oak.Oak's cousin is called 'Samson' in the english versions. https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/773915634191241217
Hmmmmm.
Also: Isn't there a Delilah in the tales about Samson? Where have we heard that name in Pokemon before? :p
....
No.... No way...
Ash does have darker skin than his mom....and it would make sense that they would live close by to help with research...
...I think I need to lie down.
Which one? I do not remember to see him and now I am curious. But as LastFootnote said, maybe this Meowth has been imported from another region. This Hypno seems to belong to the female Aether employee. This is only hypothetical, but if there is a Hypno-A, I think she would have a Hypno-A to present to the player the new form.
