>>46698853No, no... You don't get it. Its using Bird energy. The force has to be coming from somewhere. The color for flying is a bland blue gray which is what most shitmon birds IRL are colored. There was data leftover in Gen 1 referring to a Bird type, so it was gonna have Dragonite be Dragon/Bird type to refer to its wings. Air is traditionally associated with the color green in media so its actually Grass that -ought- to inherit the classification of Flying, which is completely arbitrary due to Shit Streak prioritizing elements over classifications. Bug, Dragon and "Bird" type are all meaningless distinctions. Alataria is a Dragon? Flygon's preevos were Bug? Its just flavor text at the end of the day so it doesnt even matter.
You can tell James Turner wanted to correct this outdated gook way of thinking by making Cramorant and Corvinight PRIMARY Flying first, because they are birds. Hence, Bird/Water and Bird/Steel type.
