>>44178167It's literally based on a bird-like dragon myth in the first place. The dragon its based on has more avian qualities than reptilian.
Further, what a dragon is is very fuzzy throughout history and plenty of them are not reptiles, nor do they all have to be aggressive. Altaria does the whole dragon thing well, it just does it differently.
I'm also fond of the idea that this super pacifist innocent bird actually powerful dragon power and COULD fuck you up if it felt like it, but it just happens to be nice.
>>44178513Can we please not take the ONE Flying Type out of all of them that actually fucking conveys the peaceful serenity of the upper atmosphere (instead of literally just being a bird/flying animal). Fuck that, Flying is always treated as a property instead of an actual element, but Altaria's a rare exception I don't want to lose. It embodies the wild blue yonder very well.
>Swablu pure Flying>Altaria Flying/DragonIt doesn't need to be Fairy. That was kinda just slapped onto its mega because Fairy sometimes has vaguely angelic vibes, but that should just be conveyed by its Flying Typing. It's the sky, it's peaceful and heavenly, Fairy is kinda dumb on it.
