>>47070007Gen 1 is over, and Dragon-Types aren't nearly as special or powerful as it used to be. It's long overdue for Game Freak to start updating the types of certain Pokemon. Yes, this includes Gyarados
You can say all you want about Gyarados being a fish kite, or it having no moves doesn't matter, but at the end of the day, both Japan and the West can agree that Gyarados is a dragon first, fish kite second
>b-but muh gyarados a fishSo is Kingdra, yet it's still a dragon
>b-but muh japenis children believe seahorses are babby dragonsJapanese kids also believe giant seas serpents are dragons. Whether they're reptilian, fish-like, or both. Gyarados takes clear inspiration from both reptiles and fish. Wouldn't that qualify it even more to be a dragon than Kingdra?
>Nothing about it tells me they intended to make a dragon. Its fucking mega is water/dark.Mega Gyarados is evil and has an uncontrollable rage, that's why they made it Water/Dark
>>47070025Again, Dragon-Type not special or powerful anymore. Shouldn't have to repeat this
Also, you usually recieve Fly decently late into the game. Not as soon as you evolve Magikarp, at like lvl 20. It wouldn't trivialize shit
>>47070033I'm the aspie, not the mental gymnasts who feel the need to defend their precious corporation from someone who disagrees with their gay decisions. Ok
