Why charizard is not a dragon type

There is no mention of dragon inside its name. Next, the mythology behind the Charizard's evolutionary line is the European mythological creature of fire, the salamander which were commonly called fire lizards.

Next, Charizard does not have some of the common European dragon features. As much as i despise Charizard X because of it throws away all the true mythology of Charizard for blatant fanservice, I'm gonna use it as a basis. Charizard X's horns make a point and is covered in spikes. Charizard does not have sharp horns charizard horns are rounded and isn't spiky. Charizard X's flames are also blue as different colored flames are used to show that the fire has mystical properties. While Charizard's flames on the other hand are ordinary.

Feels good to get that off my chest! I do not hate Charizard. I actually like him very much for his mythology, lore, and design. Eventhough Charizard X kinda ruined it for me. But hey, it's acceptable since his design does match that of a European dragon. User Info: Bearacudda98 Bearacudda98 7 years ago 3 I thought everyone knew this?

User Info: Dragonitetime Dragonitetime Topic Creator 7 years ago 4 Well apparently not since all the explanations I see about this topics always claim it would be overpowered if it was a dragon or that they wanted dragons to be rare. User Info: Bearacudda98 Bearacudda98 7 years ago 6 no I meant about charizard, I mean it tells you on the same pages that give you lvlup moves, egg moves etc.

What are some good grass type pokemon in Pokemon Y? Gyarados isn't a dragon type because it would be horribly broken if it was. User Info: Torgunner. As I said in another topic: Magikarp's evolution into Gyarados is based on a legend involving a carp climbing a waterfall, and jumping over the Dragon Gate.

Doing so would cause it to become a dragon. If the dragon abused its power and went on a rampage, it would lose its dragon status, and become nothing more than a flying serpent. What's Gyarados known for? That's right, going on rampages. As for Charizard, it's not a Dragon because it's a freakin' starter, and Dragon types are supposed to be rare, and difficult to obtain. User Info: Skyblufox. While your other logic is sound, I'd like to point out that the developers probably weren't all that concerned with balancing issues back in Gen I.

Just look at the Psychic Type. I always thought the Starters were rare Pokemon. So rare that the only way you were gonna get one is if you were chummy with a professor. That doesn't excuse the fact that none are ever found in their natural habitats though! User Info: Aigis-chan. There were more, but I forget exactly. User Info: EpacNellaf. More topics from this board Should I lower my expectations in terms of replay? Mewtwo alone has taken on the most powerful of legendaries, and could easily take and defeat a whole lot of others, including Arceus and Mew.

He finally chose Ash after seeing his bravery and being shown love. While Greninja was recovering from the battle, he also felt responsible for making Ash lose the battle. In competitive, neither are very good but Blastoise Mega is infinitely better than Gyarados Mega.

It has outstanding attack and decent special defense which helps it. Was Gyarados ever a Dragon-type Pokemon? Your email address will not be published.
