Should its attack really be called Strangle? I thought this was a children’s card game.

Burning venom is awesome

I suppose Arbok’s patterns were already standardized by this point (something I believe happened around the release of FRLG), but it would’ve been nice if they bent the “rules” a little here and gave it subtly flame-like chest markings instead of the standard eyes. Would fit with both the typing and the away-from-main-regions Holon setting.

I still don’t really get why they decided to standardize Arbok’s pattern to a single instance. The idea lends itself so well to the multiple form mechanic – as with Unown, Vivillon in particular, et al. – and I really did expect it to eventually be implemented. Every now and again something like this reminds me they didn’t, and it’s I think it’s one of the bigger missed opportunities.
