Alola Rattata looks alright.

God Alolan Rattata have probably one of the most uninspired and uncreative design of all time. Just black instead purple and minor jags around the body. Also another Gen I Pokemon. Great!
Yeah, I'm getting tired of all the Alolan formes being Gen 1 Pokemon too, they just come off as rather gimmicky and it makes it seem like Gen 1 is the only generation that matters and that nothing between Gen 1 and 7 even happened. I mean, they're an interesting concept, but the fact that they've ALL been Gen 1 Pokemon just turns me off.

well shit if we are going off of that then in gen 6 they pretended gen 5 didnt happen
i've already established my reasoning for why they are mostly gen 1, they are the easiest ones to attain as there is 2 ways of getting the base forms; as opposed to 1 so saps like me who dont have the bank dont have to only use alolan form pokemon
"After Munchlax Evolves,"
What they meant to say was, "After Munchlax rids itself of its filthy post-Gen I impurities,"
Maybe it has SOMETHING to do with the GEN 1 Virtual Console Games, and MAYBE are Pokemon TRANSFERRED From Red, Blue, and Yellow into Sun and Moon?!?!?!?!?!?!Yeah, I'm getting tired of all the Alolan formes being Gen 1 Pokemon too, they just come off as rather gimmicky and it makes it seem like Gen 1 is the only generation that matters and that nothing between Gen 1 and 7 even happened.

This so much.My thoughts exactly, they act as if Gen 1 is the only important generation because it was when Pokemon was at it's most popular, and 90's nostalgia is really popular nowadays so they're clearly trying to bank on that. While it has it's benefits, it causes problems for fans who didn't grow up with the first generation. It also doesn't help that most Gen 5 Pokemon other than legendaries have been ignored for the most part after Gen 6 started, with only ONE Gen 5 Pokemon even getting a Mega Evolution (Audino) in Gen 6 and 95% of Gen 4 and 5 getting ignored. If any post-Gen 1 Pokemon is going to get an Alolan forme, high chances it will be Lucario, which has been confirmed to be in the Alola Dex, especially considering how TPCi has favoritism for it.
I mean, it can't just strictly be Gen 1 Pokemon, there are tons of Pokemon that could get one.
I was definitely thinking that the one and only reason they even showed Munchlax was to say "See, we aren't completely ignoring the other generations... Not completely!".
This so much.
There are a ton of other Pokemon who could benefit from getting an Alola form but so far, all we're seeing is Kanto Pokes getting them. I'm actually getting a little fatigued of Alola forms. In fact, when I saw Rattata in its new form I threw my hands up and said, "I freaking KNEW it...!"
As of right now, I wouldn't be surprised if we have like 20 new Megas in Sun and Moon but GF isn't showcasing them because they aren't Kanto Pokemon. Because, you know, nobody would care about non-Gen I Pokemon get an upgrade of some stripe....
It doesn't matter if it is the anniversary, there is no excuse to make all the alola forms just gen 1 pokemon and I am getting sick of the favoritism towards gen 1. Give other gens some love Game Freak!
