Knowing how slapdash the development process was for those early games I don't doubt it at all. But maybe in the end they thought that Butterfree was "cuter" so it made more sense for the early game bug and it was a conscious decision to switch the designs, idk

I don't see how that could not be the case. Venonat and Butterfree look almost exactly the same.

This is exactly what happened. They wanted an early game mon that girls would like, Pikachu was too rare so they swapped Venomoth and Butterfree.

Venonat isn't even necessarily a gnat. Its Japanese name has nothing to do with gnats.

sounds very plausible
You could argue the "haha you'll never know" but it doesnt sound like your youtube clickbait retard theory, just a "dev team probably thought X because Y happened"

Well you have a caterpillar turning to a butterfly so why would a gnat magically be better?
>>45061366
It looks like a gnat without wings.

nothing else in gen 1 has the same design motifs though
>>45061387
moths also start off as caterpillars that make cocoons, so venomoth works as an evolution for caterpie just as well as a butterfly does. venonat's evolution makes no sense either way, so your argument has no bearing on anything.

Bagon -> Shellgon -> Flygon

It's funny because it works only in English.

Aren't dragons in Asia associated with water as much as west associates them with fire?
