Why even bother giving it the secondary typing?

It's because of the whole "Karp who jumped over a mountain to become a Dragon" fluff.

Once upon a time, not everything was about "muh dual STAB", dear Sinnohfetus.

Gyarados is fine as it is, a strong flying stab would make it obnoxious.

Right, so why isn't it half Dragon? I get in Gen 1 that would have made it OP since the only thing that it would have any weakness to would be other Dragons, but I don't know why the Flying type wasn't retconned in Gen 2 aside from keeping Kingdra's typing unique.

>>33676645
I've been playing since Gen 1. I don't really give a shit if it learns anything that gives it a good STAB, I'm mostly confused as to why the whole time it's been around it's only ever been able to learn 2 Flying moves.

I actually agree with you, but it's too late now. I am still baffled they didn't bank on that to make its Mega part Dragon type.

You're right, I was mistaken. It still only learns two Flying type moves. Malamar learns as many Flying moves, doesn't need a move tutor to do it, and it's a fucking squid.

What bothers me more is all these dragon looking pokemon that aren't ever part dragon type. Gyarados should be a water/dragon period. Also think it might even be a good idea for them to make pokemon able to have three types. Although not completely sure on that. It would need to be balanced of course.

Originally Gyarados was going to be a dragon type. (Don't recall if it was water/dragon, dragon, or dragon/flying.)
But they changed it as they felt getting a dragon type by the time you leave Mt Moon made the game too easy.

As for the Mega being dark.... Bite.

That is still a lame excuse. Just make it evolve at level 50 then instead of 30. Think of how rewarding that could have been. Leveling up that shit as fuck pokemon for so long and finally you are rewarded with a goddamn water dragon literally. I've been saying it the past week on /vp/ but gamefreak seriously should consider retconning and changing around things they have established. No real reason to not try it.

And sharks have two dicks but Sharpedo doesn't learn Twin Needle. Would you prefer if I'd used Escavalier as my example? It has the same two moves I was referencing with Malamar, Peck and Aerial Ace. The point is that the fucking water/flying pokemon doesn't learn shit for flying moves.

It actually learns more physical dark moves than flying or dragon.

Right and then they add shit on top of their messes like mega's and alola forms so why not just be willing to change things around? They have even added types on to certain pokemon over the years. Even going back to gen II with magnemite/ton becoming part steel. Yet they never thought to actually remove a type and replace it with something more sensible or to help balance certain pokemon better. They also never really mess with stats besides giving certain pokemon rather pathetic slight buffs. Oh wow +10 on this one stat for this monster. It is so much better now!

To be fair I guess a fish jumping over a waterfall or gate or whatever the fuck doesn't have anything to do with flying. Maybe that's why it only learns bounce.

It's a running joke that Gyarados and Milotic don't get the secondary type you'd expect.
