Yeah, Game Freak/Nintendo really don't give Poison types much respect. They're the only type without a Legendary Pokemon, and they are generally appearing in the service of various villainous flunkies. That said, they ought to get a bit more in Gen 6.
Koga had it tough in Gen 1 due to Psychics being broken, but in later generations his Weezing at least cut out Ground types. And Crobat's a great Pokemon too... maybe his choice of Pokemon was ahead of its time, as Venomoth and Forretress have got better as the generations go on. Still, no Elite Four member in Johto was really a challenge (except Lance if you did not Ice Punch/Ice Fang him to oblivion).
Now, the artwork, and the shading and use of purple really makes it stand out. It gives it a very eerie and sinister feel, as if you are already caught by Koga's powerful techniques to cripple his adversaries. The poses are excellent, evocative of classic ninja actions, and the Pokemon themselves look surprisingly daunting.

Thanks I am hapy you noticed all those details about the picture cuz I really gave them a lot of thought and about Poison-types yeah, I like you think that they deserve a little more credit and respect than they do in the Pokémon universe, heck, I don't think many people have a any Poison types in their regular team of 6 (except maybe if they are either starters like Bulbasaur or really popular Pokémon like Gengar and Villeplume). And don't get me wrong, they are a fascinating and very useful type of Pokémon but to really earn the respect and credit they deserve they should have a) A real legendary, maybe even make it the mascot of a new generation game (seriously, there are too many Dragons and Psychics as lagendaries, surprise us original for once, Gamefreak!) and b) More decent and relevant Poison-type trainers and Gym Leaders because even when Roxie is a decent Gym Leader and Koga is one hell of a guy as well as is his daughter Janine their role and relevance in the games still leave something to be desired, and their abilities alone are not enough to display the full potencial that Poison-type Pokémon are abel to reach.

Poison types are very tactical Pokemon, you can have a lot of fun using their strategic edge to chip away at opponents. They hopefully will get some additional respect somewhere along the way, and they definitely do need more prominent trainers.

I must say that i respect Koga and the poison types, as many of my defeats at the E4 in soul silver was do to his Muk. (F*cking Minimize)
Still, he's a pretty cool gym leader.

Yeah, in newer generations he's a pretty cool and challenging gym leader, but in the first one where he debuted, he wasnt much of a challenge, hell, not to brag, but I don't think he even slowed me down when I paved through the Elite Four in Pokémon Silver, the first time I challenged them, and I was only 12 at the time. In short, both Koga and Poison types in general have earned a little bit more of respect througout the years but we still have to see the day where poison types get to be recognized as an important Pokémon type (seriously, so many Dragons and Psychics but not a single one Poison-type legendary, for Arceus sake!) well, but even with all that, I still think that Koga by himself is a pretty good character in the Pokémon Universe.

Well put, sir.
(And for the record, I played soul silver, and I was under leveled.)

Debo decir que esta serie es realmente una ventana al pasado...
Me gustó la iluminación, fría y en azul pero distinta a la de Misty.

Gracias, mi intención era darle un aire más místico y misterioso, como más de ninja, vaya.

It's not so hard, just follow the clues, and besides, you have nothing to lose and you can participate again later if you don't get it right the fisrt time.
