Why charizard is not a dragon

Well — very little actually. There you have it. We hope you had fun reading this and that we helped solve this dilemma for you. Table of Contents show. The meta-game theory. The in-universe theory. Aggron has the perfect aesthetic to be a Dragon-type. Since reptiles are known for their scaled and sturdy hides, Aggron would fit right into that popular mythos.

Aggron should have gained the Dragon-type for its Mega Evolution. It made sense that it became a mono Steel-type, since it accrued more armor. It seems like they took the concept of an earthworm and Venus flytrap, slapped the Dragon-type label on it, and made it into a Dragon-type. Aerodactyl is a peculiar case. Its design is inspired by wyverns, mythical winged creatures known for their fierce appearance and nature. Wyverns are commonly associated with Dragons. Because they resembled Dragons so much, why not make them Dragons?

You know, Hydreigon. It seemed like GameFreak fell back on previous lore in order to pad the existence of this Ultra Beast. Guzzlord had much influence on the story with Looker and Anabel, and this is the direction they took him? While the Dark-typing is fitting, it was still a headscratcher.

User Info: Dragonitetime Dragonitetime 7 years ago 1 Alright, so I see people constantly claim "Oh, the only reason why Charizard is not a dragon is because it would be overpowered. While if Gamefreak wanted dragons to be rare, then why is there 34 out of the 43 dragon types available in gen 6? Well I did some research and found some answers. In Japanese mythology, Japanese dragons are most commonly connected with water and storms.

So having a fire-breathing dragon would be very strange from a Japanese point of view. Alternatively, it could be combination of lizard and don itself as it is a common suffix for dinosaurs This is why Charizard Y bears a striking resemblance to a Pterosaur. 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.
