>>26664018>Are you sure? Surely they'd know it was Dragonite because the Pokemon world has the internet, no?There are millions of people in the modern world who thought Narwhal's were mythical creatures.
There are so many people whom in fact thought Narwhal's were mythical creatures that some environmental agencies and so forth are taking advantage of this momentum to try and protect narwhals from poaching, etc as people can't believe such a fantastical animal exists.
I don't chalk this sort of thing up to ignorance so much as people have other things going on with their lives.
I can only imagine the people within that region must think a Dragonite is a mythical or mysterious dragon pokemon in some way or another.
