The Falkner gym battle in the anime had it jump so high that's almost like flying.

It's in the same boat as Hawlucha in that it can't actually fly, but it just jumps really high and falls with style.

Because it fucking flies?

>learns Fly
>"A bird that makes up for its poor flying with its fast foot speed. Leaves giant footprints. Its short wings make flying difficult. Instead, this Pokémon runs at high speed on developed legs."

This. It learns Fly, not Bounce, and in the 3d console games you see how it flies, a la Geppo, kicking the air so hard you stay aloft.

Which brings us to reason #2 for being flying: Airbending. Which is also part of why it can run so fast.

But yeah, learns Fly, learns Brave Bird, Learns Sky Attack. It just doesn't learn any wing moves because they're kiwi tiny.
But Golurk, Genesect, Drifblim, Drampa, Celesteela, and Arceus all learn Fly with no wings too.

No. Dual types weren’t a thing originally. Flying type didn’t exist. Charizard was pure Fire, Golbat pure Poison, Gyarados pure Water. Etc. The legendary birds complicated things because they couldn’t JUST be Bird type like every other Bird Pokémon, and making them pure Electric, Ice and Fire would throw everything off.

Dual types were created then and Bird was axed so Flying could be applied to the previously mentioned ‘mons. Poison was given to a lot of grass types, Ground was given to a lot of rocks, etc etc. No gen 1 ‘mon Looks like they NEED to have their second type, because they were designed without it in mind.

that doesnt matter.
ALL birds are flying type because birds in general have some perks as animals.
for example every bird is stronger than BUG and GRASS type because birds eat bugs or berries.
Dodrio cant be just NORMAL because dodrios will pluck the shit out of berries/bugs anyways so they are still FLYING type

Tbh there should’ve never been a Flying type. Should have been Bird and Wind. They’re distinct enough and could have different attributes. Make Wind a more elemental type having to do with wind, storms, weather, air, etc. and then make Bird a “species” like type like Bug. Honestly still wish this could be retconned and revamped but that’ll never happen.

I feel like it was quite possible that Ice was originally exclusive to Articuno, (and maybe Jynx if the theories about Jynx, Magmar, and Electabuzz being something along the lines of legendaries at some point, too), but that's the only one that I can think of as being significantly impacted by this decision.

Every other type besides Ghost and Dragon have multiple lines that would conceivably be only that type.

flying is viewed as a purely secondary element, only tornadus breaks this rule because he is a wind elemental
consider the flying type just saving these normals from being weak to fighting while also retaining a nice ghost immunity

Except gen 6 broke the trend of Flying being a secondary type making Noibat/Noivern primary Flyying type, now gen 8 has gone further by making the 2 revealed bird pokemon primary Flying type, personally I'm for it, I think all bird like pokemon should be primary Flying type unless their other type is more prominent.
