It's time to admit it makes no sense for this to be a flying type.

It's based on a myth about a fish that learns to fly by swimming up a waterfall

I'm pretty sure it was actually based on a Chinese myth that says that a koi fish that can swim up a waterfall would become a dragon.
Of course, Gyarados is also based on a streamer flag, the kind you'd see on Children's Day in Japan, hence the flying type.

Eh, it depends, really. Originally it probably would have benefitted from being the only Dragon other than Dragonite; these days Water/Flying is probably a better type.

>Oak: Bulbasaur? It’s very easy to raise. Charmander? It’s hard to raise.
>The game: Bulbasaur and Charmander are exactly as easy to raise and evolve around the same levels lol
Sneed. It’s just so fucking obvious that Charizard was originally supposed to be fire/dragon and pseudo legendary but evolve later than the other two - basically be that high effort high reward bossmon like Dragonite. Gyarados is probably the same. Was supposed to be water/dragon and evolve later, like level 40, but since game freak niggers forgot to program a non fixed damage dragon move they pussied out because water/dragon would have no weakness so they nerfed it. Charizard was probably nerfed to make the rival fights easier for bulbasaurfags

Bulbasaur being easy is in relation to early gyms.

I think he just meant you'll have more trouble with Charmander early on than Bulbasaur. It doesn't make much sense the way he said that the challenge came from the Pokemon itself rather than outside factors like Brock, but it's at least in line with the reality of the gameplay.

It makes perfect sense. It's based on a chinese myth of a fish that swam up a waterfall and turned into a flying dragon.
The only thing wrong with it is that it doesn't learn fly in any game.

bait but the anon telling the fish story had it right, except he forgot minor details like the type of fish, so i have no idea what you're on about.

Haven't you heard the ancient Japanese story of homeless guy that sex fish?
He became successful businessman after losing his virginity.
This was his luck finding female fish in the river.
This relatable toward Gyarados being dragon.
