Dragon was the ultimate type in gen one. It was meant to resist everything but itself, and the late game Ice type. Unfortunately Gamefreak decided to throw Ice in the garbage can later and create cancer Fairies that literally nobody had wanted.

Dragons are powerful enough to overpower other dragons, same idea as kaiju. Similarly, ghosts can touch other ghosts or are often exercised using similar spiritual magic

It's a common theme in fiction for dragons to be invulnerable to anything but other dragons. This is why dragonslayers in fiction usually either use dragon parts as weapons or empower themselves with dragon magic like Siegfried.

It was supposed to be a wall but I guess they made it into an attacker so they turned fatties into wall

in the og games, both of those types were special (not like special/physical)
they were a unique type, only one family of pokemon represented them respectively
its kinda like "ghost type" was more like "gengar type" and dragon was dragonite
this was of course immediately retconned, but i kinda like the idea of unique types (not unique combos) they shoulda done more

Thanks, Gamefreak. Lick and Dragon Rage are just what we needed.

Only a king can rival another king and the only thing that wont phase through a ghost is another ghost

never heard that before. I'm sure there are examples, but I wouldn't call it a common theme
>or empower themselves with dragon magic like Siegfried.
Siegfried empowered himself with dragon magic after he already killed the dragon, so that doesn't really make sense
