such a shame they didn't get them

Really just a big massive shame that we even have to worry about something like that never coming back ever. Sun and Moon established the fact that Pokemon could undergo "real" evolution and that other dimensions existed with different people and Pokemon in them, and there's a chance that they'll NEVER touch on that shit ever again? That blows

In all fairness to Weezing, he doesnt' really NEED an Alolan form. He's only got a single weakness, is insanely bulky and has a really good movepool, including Will'o'Wisp, which just makes it even bulkier. On top of that it's also immune to Ground moves, negating a would be weakness, and that also lets him come in on spikes. He also has Clear Smog/Haze to negate boosts and Pain Split for semi-reliable recovery. He isnt' perfect but it's enough and Weezing with actual good recovery like, well, recover would probably be top tier OU or UUBL at worst.

Arbok has no excuse though he needs something to help.

Regardless of competitive autism, they're Jessie and James' ace pokemon. Very iconic, yet the literal blob monster gets a form.

Good point but I think most people are less into the competitive side and more of the "it'd be really cool" part

Alolan muk is cool.
I can't believe muk went from a general shitmon to being a staple in uu just by changing its type and giving it a couple moves.

>Weezing
Probably because Grimer and Muk already fill the role of a pollution-based Pokemon adapted to Alola's much cleaner climate.
>Arbok
There is no real excuse; they could have given the Ekans line Poison/Water variants based on sea snakes.

Wheezing and Koffing lend themselves well to becoming either
>Fire- Volcanic Ash/Smoke
>Water- potentially hydrothermal
>Water/Steel Sea mine like it's actually based on (would prolly be in bad taste in Hawaii though)
>Poison/Water sea urchin

A sea-snake Ekans line seems so fucking obvious it's insulting.

And that's just species that are relevant to Hawaii. Though the brown tree snake isn't there yet, they spend a lot on screening ships and stuff to keep it that way.

Reminder that Arbok should change it's markings depending on the region it's born.

Questioning my taste and making assumptions.. A for effort though. I’ve literally mocked up a fan game oil spill route with A-Muk

I love classic Muk and A-Muk, I’ll admit that A-grimer feels like a slight downgrade though a-muk is an upgrade from classic. I have a clear blue cl. Muk figure that looks like some sorta water elemental. I was in a black light phase when I bought it and found out it glows bright white under the light. Kek. It’s a one of a kind bootleg figure and i’m so glad i snagged it off ebay

Poison is my third favorite type, it changes places with Ghost regularly. But never surpasses Bug. I just wanted more poison types in Alola because I think the conflicting “lore” is utopian folk-lore and unfounded in reality, there’s plenty of poison and pollution in hawaii

They honestly should have, but it doesn't get better for poisons than Alolan Muk.
