Alolan region forms have become one of the most controversial topics in Pokémon. With many people being unsure of how they feel seeing the original Kanto Pokémon transformed in a new way. However, in recent theories, there is plenty of evidence showing that Alolan forms will not replace Kanto forms in the Alola region.
As the story goes, the player, and their family, moved to the Alola region from the Kanto region. In one of the first trailers, we're shown a scene with the players mother, and sitting behind her, a Kanto Meowth. This supports the theory that Pokémon transferred from previous games will retain their Kanto forms.
In a recent trailer, it's said that the Alolan region Meowth is bred by the Alolan royal family. This claim too, supports the idea of coexisting forms.
Lastly, we'll backtrack to the original Pokémon anime. Our heros traveled throughout the Kanto region, and met many different types of Pokémon. Sometimes, these Pokémon looked quite different from the way we usually saw them. This was explained to be caused by an environmental change. The Pokémon living in different areas had changed in appearance based on the foods they ate, which were different from other areas in Kanto. With the recent Alolan forms referencing old Kanto lure (Ghost Marowak, surfing Pikachu), it's very likely that Nintendo is reusing some of their old plot points in a new way.
In recent theories, it looks like the Alolan region forms will only effect Pokémon bred, catch, or evolved in the Alolan region.
