>>49487765this was literally only true in Gen 2. In Gen 1 you can fish a dratini out of the local zoo or buy one in a fucking video arcade
Gen 3 put Bagon in a good place but nonsensical evos like Swablu—> dragon?? and Trapinch—> dragon?? were retarded and made dragon types a little too easy to get. I like the idea of their being less-pseudo legendary dragons (mostly to pad out a dragon tamer’s team so we dont get a repeat of Lance’s 3 dragonites) but some of the new dragons have been stupid
Ironically Gen IV got it right, even if Gible is available a little too early in the game
