Why was he mistranslated as a Dragon type trainer when he's clearly a Flying type trainer?

Same with her. She's clearly a Poison type trainer, but they mistranslated her as Ghost type trainer.

That team in particular has 5 Flying types and 4 Dragon types. Ergo, he's a Flying specialist.

That was back when being part of the elite 4 didn't mean you needed to autistically have your whole team from your type.
Lorelei didn't.
Bruno didn't.
Agatha didn't.
And Lance didn't.

Lance is said to be a dragon specialist, not a Dragon-type specialist. Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Charizard, etc. may not be Dragon types, but they're still dragons and thus he can use them. You see similar logic with other dragon trainers, like Iris using Lapras, Aggron, and Archeops, which are not Dragon type, but are based on dinosaurs.

They don't have the Dragon type, therefore they're not dragons.

>when confronted, he copes by saying "b-but just because they don't have the dragon type d-doesn't mean they aren't dragons, ok!?"
Aside from the fact that this is from a spinoff gacha game, that dialogue was meant to give Lance character and make him out to be a coping loser who can't accept that he isn't a dragon specialist.
Ironically enough, this also helped in exposing the retards who spam this screenshot as being coping losers who can't understand what the word "type" means.

Ever since "Dragon type energy" was established as a thing, it was made clear that a Pokemon doesn't need to be a literal dragon to be Dragon type.

Alolan Exeggutor isn't a dragon, it just gained Dragon elemental powers.

Regidrago isn't a dragon, it's a golem made out of crystallized dragon-type energy.

Dragalge is a seahorse who uses sunlight to generate Dragon-type energy.

A Pokemon isn't a Dragon type because it is a dragon (though they often overlap), it's a Dragon type because it can manipulate Dragon-type energy.

"Type" is a Pokemon's elemental affinity, not what it is. Dragon types are not literally dragons, they are creatures of the Dragon element, the same way Fire type Pokemon are not literally fire, but creatures of the Fire element.

Those aren't real types, unlike dragons. As I said, this has been debunked. You're coping, and you're doing a terrible job at it, too.

Retards. Pokemon are elemental creatures. Their "type" is their element. These are the elemental forces that make up the Pokemon world, and Pokemon are magical creatures comprised of/able to manipulate these elemental forces.

This makes me wonder, was Agatha the original champion of the Kanto League? Her team is quite similar to that of Oak’s scrapped one for his unused battle, they were both contemporaries with Agatha being implied to be a more proficient battler than him which drove them apart. Maybe I’m just grasping at straws here but I feel like it’s very much implied?

1. There is no singular pokemon canon anymore, anything can be canon or noncanon depending only if you specify a universe. The main canon right now is the multiverse canon which makes it so that in some sense masters is canon

2. Masters has done a lot to expand on characters and there is nothing theyve done that contradicts how any character was initially introduced. It is a good source for info on a character

Im the anon that made the original comment about the multiverse and I dont consider ultra space and ultra wormholes different dimensions. For the most part theyre characterized as areas within deep space and may not be in the same galaxy but are in the same universe. The better example would be the hoopa rings in ORAS and the max lairs in SWSH
