>>46787070>Except Dragon (the element) is different from dragon (the animal)Dragon and Bug are the only types named after specific creatures, and all bug pokemon aside from Drapion (who isn't even a bug technically) have Bug in their typing. If Pokemon was a dragon, then it would have the Dragon type.
>By your logic, Yamper isn't a dog because it isn't a Dog type, even though it's explicitly called a "herding dog"If Dog was a real Pokemon type, then, yes, Yamper should be a Dog type. And if Charizard, Aerodactyl and Gyarados were real dragons, then they would've had the Dragon type.
