Shouldn't Arbok's regional forms be listed here? If I remember correctly, its pattern changes in every region in which it appears. [[User:Menace64|Menace64]] ([[User talk:Menace64|talk]]) 02:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Arbok

Shouldn't Arbok's regional forms be listed here? If I remember correctly, its pattern changes in every region in which it appears. Menace64 (talk) 02:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

This is a formal thing. If Arbok is not identified as a "regional variant", it's not one.
Also, regional variants are fundamentally pretty significantly different from the rest of their species; they've adapted. Differing patterns is neither significant nor a real adaptation. Tiddlywinks (talk) 02:29, 10 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
