I was talking about variants in general. I particularly don't care about it, but it's more a matter of personal taste. I don't think it's a bad idea at all, but it's unlikely that it will be in every game. They should keep variants exclusive to gen 7, as an Alola characteristic. In the lore perspective, would be somewhat no sense that every generation will have it's own mutation/regional forms. But for sure, it can work in other eventual future region and a eventual remake, but just not in every sole single game.
I have to disagree with limiting regional variants exclusive to Alola, especially considering that there is only 18 Regional variants, all of which of Gen 1 mons and that geographical and environmental factors give more of a reason for regional variants to exist in other regions compared to the gimmick once-a-match item mechanics.
Plus it would make coining an umbrella term pointless if they are limited to one region.
