Because they can't control well their powers. Hence the headaches. The question should be where's their Water/Psychic evo.

They were probably intended to be psychich at first, but then they decided to switch their types with Slowpoke/Slowbro at the last minute for whatever reason.

There seem to be a lot of these "fuck-ups" or last minute changes in gen I, like The Butterfree/Venonat or Magikarp/Dragonite things

It resembles a wolf eventhough it's name implies hyena. Blastoise is the shell fish pokemon. The species name is irrelevant as mutiple pokemon share species name eventhough they are in no way related. The entire pokedex is suspect.

And this completely contradicts the story about a carp jumping the waterfall and becoming a sea monster. Dragonite is vaguely a sea monster too, I guess, but Gyara is the obvious choice. It has the whiskers and the gaping mouth, fins, etc.

I think it was just because gen I was cautious with their typing. They already had slowpoke/slowbro and starmie as water/psychic, so adding another one may have seemed like too many of that particular type combination.

It's somewhat surprising to me that they haven't been retyped since then, in either FR/LG or HG/SS, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Yeah I never got why the Ghastly line was Poison, cause it's purple and the first form look like a fart I guess? They just look like any old ghosts to me.

That said, Poison was just an easy way to make something dual typed; but I don't think a particular dual type popped up more then another, atleast when it came to Poison ones.

It's essentially a sentient poison cloud, so it does kind of make sense. It really is just a possessed fart, now that you mention it.

I think they just make things /poison to weaken them, though, in the long run, and add poison's type vulnerabilities. Same with normal/*. That's why there's so many /poison types.

As it happens though poison is my favorite type so I'm okay with it.

Not that guy but yes, it is obvious that Serperior is based off colubrids, pythonids, boids, or even legless lizards. Not elapids or viperids like Seviper, Ekans and Arbok, etc. It doesn't even learn Poison Fang or Poison Tail.

If you ask me, it resembles a primitive snake or even a limbless lizard, with the line representing the evolution of lizards into snakes. Mind you, I wouldn't call it a ball python. It doesn't really look anything like a ball python.

There is actually only 4 Water/Psychic Pokémon.

One line is the Slowpoke Line and the there's Starmie. That's it. Did you mean there were too many Water/Psychics in the Gen 1? That's a tad more accurate but I'd hardly call 4 Water/Psychic Pokemon too many.

Well, keep in mind I also said colubrid. I think Serperior is more of a generic nonvenomous snake if anything. Also I said that Arbok and Seviper have the poison type going for them, and have strong traits of certain snakes (cobras for Arbok and vipers for Seviper), but Serperior's doesn't really have strong traits. The only surefooted thing about it is that it's based upon a nonvenomous species.

The pointed snout reminds me a little of vine snakes, but vine snakes are very thin and have horizontal pupils. Most likely, it's based on the general idea of a snake or the idea of a lizard losing its limbs to become a snake than any particular species.
