>>51454529Not that anon but I think Dragon was designed to be relatively special...or at least rarer than normal types. It does resist the starter types, after all, and it’s weak to itself and another relatively late-game type.
>True final boss of gen 1 doesn't use dragon typesLance is what you expect the final boss to be; the fact your rival become champion first is part of the twist.
>No legendary Pokemon in gen 1 is dragon typePsychic was designed as the “powerful” type, Dragon was a rare/special type.
>Dratini isn't even the most expensive game corner PokemonIt was also a first stage in a three Pokémon line, and Porygon was the only Pokémon that was Game Corner exclusive.
>Kingdra gained it in gen 2 when Seadra was nothing specialAnd the final gym leader had it.
Ghost was similar, to a point — the second to last E4 in Gen 1 “specialized” in Ghost, and the type only got 1 more addition in Gen 2.
