>>56955065Tyranitar was basically cucked out of any spotlight in its own generation in favor of Dragonite, yet T-tar still managed to garner a fanbase. the shilling Ttar gets now is just Game Freak giving fans what we want.

Salamence was the first Dragon type that can be shilled as the typical cool Dragon. Before it all we had Barney, a Seahorse, a Bird, and a Bug.
