When it comes to new Alolan Forms, Matoka did post an excerpt from an interview with Junichi Masuda, on page 528, that said he is interested in developing more regional variants.

But what if it's only a few, with two new PKMN, a two stage Alolan line (Dodrio?), and two UB. Then a few exclusive preexisting Mon.Okay I'm gonna be skeptical about this for a few reasons. The first of which being that I don't think Game Freak would risk pissing off the fanbase by adding new pokemon that they cannot catch in Sun and Moon (Precedent, when OrAs came out there is no update for X/Y to add the new megas), the 2nd possible reason would be Marshadow. With that said I can see something similar to the cited example.
The first teo would allow them to get away with adding new pokemon without messing with dex completionists because the base form is still possible to get to Sun and Moon (or to Sun and Moon), the last is just a semantic point that allows Dex Completionists a way to complete the national dex without the need for bank and old games. Soemthing the franchise does for every other generation so far.
- New Alolan forms. Older Pokemon get new regional variants
- New Mega-Evolutions. In this case its exactly like Or/As
- Not new pokemon in general, but Pokemon new to the region of Alola. Like how most third versions and BW2 operated.
So do you think we might end up with a kind of 'Gen 7.5'?We have a new rumor that we are getting 20 new Pokemon on Switch, supposedly Pokemon Stars.
Rumor: Laura Kate Dale on the Switch: clarified leaks, bits of new info - Nintendo Everything
I don't think that it would happen and that link saying that there would be new Pokemon made me doubt Stars even more.So do you think we might end up with a kind of 'Gen 7.5'?
I personally don't like the sound of that...
Me too. It's not the first starter Pokemon where the last form seems to be a major design shift from its middle form (Samurott, anyone?) -- and it does seem like their level of detail goes over 9000 upon their final form lately -- but this change was simply too abrupt.I'd really like a gender neutral Primarina, and a more animalistic Incineroar.
So I talked to Tom Phillips a lot before he ran his Stars story, as I was also working on the same leak, via different sources. He had a few bits of info I did not so I stepped back and let him handle it.
He was unsure about names Stars and Eclipse, I had only heard Stars.
I have heard 20+ new monsters being saved for Stars. Tom doesn't think that's likely. I honestly do not know if folk would be happy with that or not.

Plus, that statistical shift from a fast mixed-attacking Torracat to a slow physically-oriented Incineroar. It makes Incineroar's design seem kinda forced.
Not unlike if somebody swapped Butterfree with Venomoth. lol.
What if we get different forms for the starters?
I'd really like a gender neutral Primarina, and a more animalistic Incineroar.
Primarina is gender neutral in it's own perspective. Only humans deal with the silly idea that masculinity and femininity HAVE to look a certain way. This idea of thinking has no place in Pokémon, in my opinion.
I think Pokemon having too many DLCs would be a really bad idea, personally.It would be nice to get some actual dlc for pokemon but I doubt it
Not to mention the Dex specifically calls attention to Solgaleo and Lunala being masculine/feminine variants of Cosmog respectively.Then explain why male kirila evolve into Gallade, which is masculine. I don't have any problem in the concept of Primarina (Brionne just replaced Wartortle as my fave mid-stage).
Pokemon designs are very inconsistent regarding that topic. For ex. Froslass, and Gallade/Gardevoir lean towards our typical 'masculinity/feminine conventions'.
I think it's probably new megas/new alolan forms, I don't know about new pokemonHere's what Laura actually wrote:

One small thing could tumble into 'everyone must have DLCs' to properly enjoy all the content the game actually has.
The event Pokemon are enough.
