Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.

contradictions in the poke power

Goop Gas Attack and Muk existed. You could shut down powers, put him under a status condition, and when powers came back on, Snorlax would still be under the effects of the condition. That’s all it means.
Of course, it would remove poison. Burn would always effect him because it didn’t exist back then.
Matheus Aguiar
It wouldn’t remove poison since it didn’t become poisoned – it already was poisoned for starters, at least the way I see it.
Curtis
No, it would. Lets just say you’re the Snorelax player. On your opponent’s turn, they play Goop Gas Attack, shutting off Snorelax’s power, then attack with a poisoning attack. Snorelax is poisoned, you play your turn, then Goop Gas Attack stops working, Snorelax’s power turns back on. Since it cannot be poisoned, the poison goes away.

Unless you were poisoned and asleep, confused, or pralysed. In that case the poison would stay.

The Legendary Collections reprint entered the chat.
Its version of Thick Skinned reads: “[This Pokémon] can’t become Asleep, Confused, Paralyzed, Poisoned, or Burned. This power stops working while [this Pokémon] is affected by a Special Condition.”
As a matter of fact: all 13 Pokémon with an in-play Pokémon Power that were reprinted in Legendary Collection (so excluding the three whose Power activates from the Bench or when coming into play) have had their turn-itself-off condition reworded to mention “Special Conditions” instead of “Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed”, likely to fall in line with the then-upcoming Expedition Base Set, where in-play Poké-Powers have used this self-same wording.

As a kid, I always thought the stock artwork was a map of Africa or Asia. Turns out it’s just some paint smears! https://www.pokemonaaah.net/research/tcgbackground/

Ow wow, this is amazing. Looks like the source site understandably has prominent watermarks, wouldn’t mind trying to make HD versions of Base Set artwork otherwise.
