>>54350511If Dragon type was the Boss type of Gen 1, Why does it seem like Gyarados, Lapras or Aerodactyl seem cucked from this or got stripped.
All are rare draconic non wild encounter mons in gen 1 that's use of utility seemed to have been wasted and put down to, either train this thing, get it from a story item, or after you beat the game as a gift.
I think Aerodactyl or "Ptera (Ptero + Terra)" became less boney in design they were all meant to be Water/Dragon, Ice/Dragon and Rock/Dragon.
Gen 1 just has too many flaws that drag on even til today and the fact they refuse to fix any of it is fucking weird.
I genuinely don't think current Game Freak designers even remember or has conserved the origins behind their less obvious designs.
The Koduck/Psyduck/Golduck thing is weird to accept even though I understand and see the inspiration, but with that knowledge the lack of psychic type is dogshit, just give it to it, fairy type was a thing and Mime Jr's typing?
Psychic/Fairy not Fairy/Psychic even though it's clearly some little fae and screens are a psychic thing from og Mr.Mime's fingertips, doesn't seem bad but it's this flaw that forces the Galarian Tap dancers to be Psychic/Ice instead of Fairy/Ice, when they are just whimsical performers that by design negate psychic fields and the only reference to psychic being "Tummy face brainwaves"
The Tentacool line and convergent like digimon's Vademon/Ebemon are based on old H.G. Wells martians.
All of the 151 pokemon are based on many old things either mythos or popular stuff some lost to time and less popular than pokemon but why do I give a shit when TPC doesn't.
