>>37966915Dragonite is supposed to be a metamorphosis. It goes from dwelling at the bottom of the sea to flying towards the sun. This take is being restrained by its previous stages. Too much emphasis is being put into being predictable.
Dragonite is already perfect the way it is. It makes a point that being a dragon is not about looking intimidating like Charizard or Gyarados, it's about being powerful. Dragonite is so powerful it doesn't have a care in the world, it lives a chill life because it's perfectly capable of defending itself.
I'm going on a tangent but the anime and the tcg need to stop trying to make him look angry an kewl a la Kirby in America, they should embrace the goofiness. We are already saturated with "badass" dragons as it is.
