No. Dragon designs were pretty fucking shit until gen 3.

>random Kantonian seahorse is Johto's only dragon
The type never made sense, people just made up headcanons based on the rarity and Dragonite's power.
Camden Bell
nah your design is
Brandon Harris
Seahorses are closely related to dragons and you can find plenty of them.
David Davis
theres a seahorse called leafy seadragon
also theres lots of magikarps there, because of Gyarados which learns dragon rage from levelling up.

yes I remember when the games were good

I understand why the seahorse is a Dragon type, what doesn't make sense is how an item that evolves a Kanto native pokemon was only found in Johto, or why Seadra wasn't a dragon type in the first place if it naturally had the ability. Obviously both of those have real-life explanations, but there aren't good in-universe ones.
Carson Martin
Horsea is native to Johto AND Kanto.
It is a known fact that evolution items alter the Pokémon's biology when evolving e.g. Onix gets a coat of steel due to the Metal Coat, Rhydon gets an extra protective layer due to the Protector, Scyther gets stone axes due to the Black Augurite etc.

At least post the superior Crystal version.

Those headbutt trees are really out of place.

this was literally only true in Gen 2. In Gen 1 you can fish a dratini out of the local zoo or buy one in a fucking video arcade
Gen 3 put Bagon in a good place but nonsensical evos like Swablu—> dragon?? and Trapinch—> dragon?? were retarded and made dragon types a little too easy to get. I like the idea of their being less-pseudo legendary dragons (mostly to pad out a dragon tamer’s team so we dont get a repeat of Lance’s 3 dragonites) but some of the new dragons have been stupid
Ironically Gen IV got it right, even if Gible is available a little too early in the game

>kingdra's barely any stronger than seadra was in gen 1
outside of attack and HP it's more or less the same. Cool "dragon"
Isaiah Howard
The typing and movepool is what saves Kingdra.
Isaiah Bell
fuck you dragonite is based
the only problem was the decision to make the type so scarce, all gen 1 and 2 had were dratini line and kingdra regarding actual type assignment. then there was charizard, tyranitar, gyarados, lugia kinda, etc. they were more just a group of powerful draconic monsters than a proper type, like bird or rodent pokemon.
sure some dragons should be mythical and revered in the game world but its nice also having some lesser lizards in the mix

No it’s ugly

Jaxon Butler

Ugly
>Reddit constantly rent free in your head
Reddit loves Dragonite. At least use your buzzword the right way
