Gyarados makes a lot of sense when you actually look up the Japanese mythology surrounding it.
>>grabador isn't poison/steel
Wow what a cunt. You don't even fucking recycle your metals?
>Alomomola doesn't evolve from luvdisc
Besides being a pink fish they don't have a lot in common, what you should be asking is why Alomomola isn't water/fire.

Why would it be water/fire? And if you don't see th connection between the two, you're trying too hard or are simply brain dead. And yeah, they're apparently based on different fish but let's not pretend like that is relevant at all considering most pokemon evolve into different species. They look retardedly similar to not have any sort of connection.

Well, I'd imagine having a rock thrown at one of the heads would be painful.

Sunfish. Would have been a clever way to get that typing in or at least give it an ability like Solar Power.
>And if you don't see th connection between the two, you're trying too hard or are simply brain dead.
Yeah I see the connection but the connection is fucking stupid. If one of them wasn't pink no one would suspect a thing.

It can still breed with other Pokemon and the Japanese name of Mr Mime never gave it a gender.
>Moon Stone

Yeah they just really wanted to show kids how the new friendship dynamic worked.
>>Must weaken Pokemon to catch them
>WTF? You cant knock them out!
No that's fucking dumb, you want the game to be easy as hell? Weakening Pokemon is possibly the only challenging aspect of the game.

You know, because it's a bird, even if it can't fucking fly

They waste so many type slots on a mon being something (bird=flying, invertabrate=bug) that they lose the chance to make cooler mon typing.

Dark type is just the English variant of the Japanese Evil type.

That and y'know, darkness is associated with evil, sneaky and villain type characters.

Maybe people might IF IT WAS AN EVO

>Why would Suicune be Ice?
Because I always figured it was the gen 2 version of the gen 1 bird trio, and it has a giant fucking crystal on it's forehead? Or that it's a personification of the northern lights?

The only reason Gyarados is part flying is because in Gen 1 Twister and Dragon Rage were the only dragon moves. DR only does 40 damage and Twister is so weak. They made him flying to make it more balanced.

That might have made sense, if they had given Gyarados any Flying moves at all. Also, Twister didn't exist until Gen II.

I imagine that's because it would just use its claws as a priority in battle instead of biting anyone.
Unless it was caught in a corner or something.

Yeah it's more of a saying though instead of an actual story. It's a metaphor for how the trials of life make people (in this case fish) stronger. Magikarp went through the trials of being a fucking terrible Pokemon for twenty levels and because it went through the trials of life it became strong, not an actual dragon though just as strong as one.

This bothers me like you wouldn't believe.
Also:

>Onix, a big stone snake with with a giant head that has the ability Rock Head, cannot learn Head Smash
>Omastar, best rock-type special attacker, doesn't learn Power Gem, best rock-type special attack. Neither does Magcargo. Then can learn Earth Power, though!
>Rock/Steel being such a shitty typing, despite sounding like such a cool idea.
