Why did they stop giving her regional hood patterns? Wouldn't that be even easier to do with the 3D models?

At least it got intimidate, coil, glare, sucker punch, gunk shot. If it had gotten a part-dark-type alola form or something it'd probably have been good

It's a decent gimmick for gen 1 + as an early route "shitmon" that evolves pretty early, it can hold it's own for quite a while. also why the fuck does a snake learn earthquake and rock slide

Oh for fuck safe, they NEVER gave Arbok patterns. It only had two patterns in the games and the pattern you saw in Gen 2 and 3 (RSE only) was used in its updated artwork from Pokemon Blue. Then FRLG came out and re-did all the original 151 and Arbok's pattern was reverted back to its original form

the poin of arbok is that it's a reverse cobra; real spectacled cobras use their eyespots for defense, arbok uses its eyespots for offense/predation

Where are the eyebrows and fangs in the gen 2 sprite? Gen 1's art does match the gen 3 sprite, but not the gen 1 and 2 sprites.

heard that since the original idea of pokemon was based off of the creator's childhood the world was built so that youd find normal creatures, like birds, mice, and your pic rel first, and then only later in the game will you find fantastical creatures
But now that everyone knows pokemon the exploration of finding bizzare new creatures is outdated, im sure that if GF was to foresee how the francise would be like they wouldve never added animal pokemon like Raticate or Pidgey

Due to the size of the sprite they had to leave off certain details due to worrying about unnecessarily muddying the sprite. Simply spitting out an exact copy would be a mistake and so they made the changes they needed in order to make it look good on the platform they were designing for.

They matched the overall design even if specific details are missing. Regardless of whether you agree with it being a match or not, the argument that they were creating unique patterns for each region is provably false, it was just early on in the franchise's history and they hadn't decided how they wanted to represent this particular pokemon.

Ok, so prove it then. The hood designs are noticeably different in each region.

The Gen 2 and 3 patterns are the exact same.
Color limitations with the GBC meant white was used instead of Yellow.

Again, there was official gen 1 art that had the gen 3 design (I'd argue it's also the gen 2 design). Either they planned it out years in advance or it simply was different people doing different interpretations of the same design.

Arbok in Kanto in GSC have the same pattern as seen in Johto.
In other words, they aren't regional

Ruby and Sapphire came BEFORE FRLG retard not to mention that wild Arbok don't exist in Hoenn and Emerald just simply reused all the sprites from RS.
The current day artwork from the original 151 was designed around FRLG's release

I hate how short arbok's model is. Look at all these sprites and the artwork, the main part of its body should be so much longer than the stubby model they've been using from XY onwards.

Nobody's denying that there's lore saying that different Arbok have different designs, this has been shown in all sorts of side content. It's just not a regional difference.

Give it an evolution. Even shitmons like Noctowl, Cherrim, Chimecho, and Masquerain, as well as NFEs like Sliggoo, Golbat, Primeape, Dusclops, and Magneton have a higher BST than Arbok. And that's after it got +10 Attack in Gen 7. Before that, it was weaker than Seadra, Vigoroth, and Klang
