Considering they also updated lines when doing megas, I'm guessing this is a same sort of situation. However, I haven't seen a regular albino Sandslash recently, so...
And yeah, I was too. The other totems are all alolan, yeah?
Well see i don't think the team cares that totems were introduced in alola because that would be boring and very limiting if they only totem'ed pokemon from just a small region.
Makes no sense why they would stick to just one region when they have over 800 pokemon they can totem. see what i mean?
