Link to implication

Reason:

Official name of all alolan forms, and also implies that more may come in the future. This tag will used for all alolan forms and future pokemon forms of similar circumstance.

A tip for next time to not spam forum:

1. Suggest one implication.
2. Edit suggestion post and add other related ones, i.e. like so:

• alolan_ninetales -> regional_variant
• alolan_vulpix -> regional_variant
• alolan_meowth -> regional_variant
• alolan_sandshrew -> regional_variant
• alolan_sandslash -> regional_variant
• alolan_marowak -> regional_variant

Oh neat! I didn't know I could do that.
...is it possible to delete those other ones?

Until somebody responds to them, it should be possible to hide. THere might be a time limit, though.

So...How long does it usually take for this process to take off? It's my first time doing something like this ^^;

It can take months, the alias/implication queue is currently very long, especially since the alolan tags are still under some debate, see e.g. forum #202805, forum #202975

Not much to do but sit tight, be patient and try to not wait for it, then you'll be happily surprised when it it has suddenly been looked at :)

Also regarding regional_variant, I don't like the name, it's too generic, e.g. caribou is a regional variant of reindeer. I'd much rather have some alolan_form tag in that case.

You see, the problem with that is we don't know if this is a one time thing. If we have alolan formes and this becomes a trend for the rest of the franchise, we'd run into a simillar problem now. Plus, its what they are officially called on the site. If it was just a one time Gimmic, why didn't they just call them Alolan Forms and leave it at that?
