>>28807160Dragalge and Kingdra make sense (sea dragons)
M-Ampharos makes sense when you consider its japanese name
Noivern is literally a bat dragon. Neither one nor the other. It's interesting and a good design, and it makes sense.
Vibrava is a dragonfly.
should've been Bug/Dragon, but whatever.Tyrantrum is a T. rex, which is definitely worthy of being labeled a dragon.
Goomy makes sense when you learn its origins.
Shelgon I would omit because it's a transitory stage for definite dragons.
Altaria? I got nothing.
A-Exeggutor has some origins that make sense as a dragon, though it's pretty far-fetched. I appreciate the diversity.
Charizard is only not a Dragon-type because it's a starter. They also rectified this with MX-Charizard.
Gyarados could definitely have been a dragon, but they wanted to keep it an exclusive typing in gen 1.
Aerodactyl has Gyarados' answer, and additionally the clause that fossils must be Rock-type. They decided it would best be served as a Rock/Flying-type. I also question why you would consider Noivern or Tyrantrum as questionable and not Aerodactyl.
Lugia is perfectly fine as a non-dragon and I don't see why you would actually consider it one.
