How does the high exhalted board of /vp/ feel about Salamence?

Of all Pokémon's dragons, this one is the most. . . DRAGON. And I LOVE that. Salalmence is not a dragon; it's THE dragon. Game of Thrones eat your heart out.

Well, Fug IS more dragon than Salamence, but only if you're Asian.

Dragonite is also nearly as of high quality dragon as Salamence, but missing two key components: 1) stands on two legs, which I mean some dragons do but that's not the typical archetype, and 2) a fiersome attitude. Asian dragons are nice: European dragons raze fields.

I thinkpossibly every human being who has ever lived, even the ones who existed before dragons were thought up, has at some point fantasized about being a dragon.

Favorite pseudo. To me, nothing surpasses Bagon evolving a rock hard head from throwing itself off of cliffs in an attempt to fly, then evolving wings out of sheer willpower. Or how Mega Salamence focuses more on its flying type in battle and makes it capable of flying even better, effectively removing its bound to the ground.

I doubt I'll like any other dragon pseudo's lore as much as Salamence since they seem keen on repeatedly pumping those out.

I like it for the most part, but I hate its wings. I wish they looked like real wings instead of weird abstract shapes.

Also, regarding your filename: they probably named it like that because salamanders symbolize fire, and Salamence breathes fire. Also, its body shape is kind of similar to a salamander, with 4 short legs and a long tail.

I very much enjoy it when a line of pokémon have a recurring resign motif that manifests in different ways throughout. The whole Salamence line has that hard metal or whatever, and uses it in different ways. In Salamence's case, it's because in ye olden times, the eyes and the softer belly scales were throught to be the only parts of a dragon that could be hurt by traditional weaponry. They were the classic dragon weak points.

I remember rumors when Salamance was called Soaratak. I still wish it was.

I was wondering if the guy who designed Salamance line and his Mega form was binging on old reruns of Mazinger Z, because the wings definitely reminded me of Mazinger Z and the Mega Evo reminded me of the Scrander.

Really crappy design. Looks like a preschooler’s toy. Mega is somehow worse. Okay in-battle, but I won’t use it.

I grew up on gen 3 so Salamence was the og mofo for me. Still the metagross design really grew on me as my dick kept growing. It is now my all time fav.

I think its base design is pretty cool, but the wings annoy me.

Stiff cardboard wings are not so good for flying.
