Holy shit.
When I've seen the DNA in logos of XY back in January I thought for a moment if that could mean "genetically altered" or improved or forms or whatever for tons old pokemon, but I never thought that something like that is what they'd actually do.
I don't think there is any fakemon artist good enough to pull off THIS

Potential Galarian form candidates
EDIT: updated. Made more Galardex confirmed mons grey and picked orange for confirmed to either have a new form or evolution in their line.
Went through all PKMN and marked all the highly plausible candidates for getting Galarian forms. Grey are evolutionary families of which at least one member has been confirmed to appear in regular form in Galar (so they could still get a form for a late unconfirmed stage or gain a new evolution, but otherwise seem less likely than white ones).
Things I assumed as a disqualifier (of which any might be incorrect):
-having gotten a cross-gen stage before
-having gotten a Mega
-already having a gimmick i
The news we just got is bigger than you'd think
Obstagoon is essentially the encapsulation of multiple bits of information that are all huge news in their own right to me.
1. By confirming regional variants to not merely be a "gen7 gimmick", it can now officially be called a staple feature, which isn't just great for SwSh but for the franchise.
2. By showing us that regional variants are NOT exclusively generation 1 PKMN, which makes me hopeful that eventually some obscure Unovan PKMN will get a piece of the spotlight etc.
3. By, on top of that, confirming that permanent new cross-generational evolutions are a thing again for the first time since 2006 (I'm not counting Sylveon for being
Let's Go were predictable since Sun/Moon
I think I just blew my own mind and feel dumb for not having predicted this xD...
At this point it should be really obvious to everyone that the Alola forms (or rather which PKMN got them and what types they had added) were made specifically based on what the first generation of PKMN isolated is lacking in type diversity (in the context of the 3 new types since then, as well as overall).
I realized that early on (they weren't based on popularity and they definitely weren't random or shared any other traits, besides complementing the original Pokedex really well with every single addition), but didn't understand why they would ever do that,

I've been going by that nickname anywhere related to PKMN recently as you may have noticed. And since I've even started using it in the signature on my art, I went to check if there is a way to change your nickname on deviantArt.
Sure enough there is, but it's exclusive for Core members XD
So I've been thinking about whether it's worth getting that just for the name change...
But I've also found out that you cannot even buy a 1 month membership for yourself, the lowest is 3 months. You can however gift someone else a 1 month one, because..reasons? xD
That got me thinking of another option. Does anyone have any kind of request I could fulf

And now it's confirmed you're right about it being a glorified form change.
I am significantly less excited for this now because it's nothing truly revolutionary.
