>>47474322Anon, 'zard was always supposed to be a dragon, but they weren't going to make it Dragon type in Gen I and certainly not as a Starter. That they THEN went and finished what they'd treatened was taking its design to its logical conclusion, the dragonalike BECOMES a Dragon, just like the grounded reptile manages to grow wings and fucking fly, because it wanted to.
'Zard Y was an afterthought, added to ensure Y's sales wouldn't be as badly fucked in comparison to X (Fairy type Legend being a bigger draw than edgy Honchkrow) along with Mewtwo Y, again, the logical progression from Mew, its psychic powers get enhanced each time with Y being the peak of its mental abilities while they fuck in the afterthought to the opposite version, to ensure people will buy two to "get the set".
