	So, for certain Pokémon where only the evolved form is a regional variant (Exeggutor, Marowak, Raichu), do we know the exact mechanics of how this works? Example - would any Cubone evolve into a Marowak at night in Alola, or only a Cubone originating from the region? Further, (and I understand we won't really know this until there's external future games, but it's something to consider) would a Cubone originating from Alola evolve into a Ghost/Fire Marowak in another game? I thought these questions might be helpful in narrowing down some specifics. Mostly, I got wondering about this because I thought the branched evolutions on Cubone, Exeggcute, and Pikachu's page (and their evolution lines' pages, of course) might benefit from specifying "in Alola" or "from Alola". I understand if I'm overthinking this.

	:From what I've heard from other folks, all such Pokémon that are native to Alola ~~will~~ evolve into the Alola Form and all those that the game does not recognize as native to Alola (so either transferred from an older game, or hacked to appear transferred from an older game) ~~will~~ evolve into the standard form. I'm not sure whether this is determined by the [[blue pentagon\|black clover]] or some other method. And I'm just reporting secondhand, for that matter, so I can't confirm for certain. I and/or my source might well have misunderstood the mechanics. Once Pokémon Bank is updated it'll be a lot easier for folks to figure it out for sure.
