    He said “cool” dragon. Which is gyarados

      Oof. No wings or limbs, evolved from magikarp. I think you need to reassess cool dragons.

      They are a cool fish monster tho.

        Evolving from Magikarp makes him objectively the coolest dragon. Started from the bottom now we’re here.

        The lack of actual Dragon typing does sting, though.

    Fun fact: When choosing my starter for the first time, all I knew about Pokémon was: “It’s a game I saw someone play at school once and it kind of looked like an RPG and I love those!” I genuinely just went with what looked cool to me and had no idea there were “actual” dragon Pokémon.

    Also +1 on dom@lemmy.ca noting, that Gyarados is the cool dragon in Gen1

      Gyarados has never been a dragon type

      Haha. My story is similar I wasn’t super early to Pokémon but I had a deep love of early final fantasy games so I jumped right to it on gameboy. I was the perfect age.

      I don’t remember who my original starter was. It could have very likely been Charmander, I know bulbs is the one that I’ve used on every subsequent play through of gen 1

        Pretty much the exact same story here, only my obsession was more with PC-DOS RPGs like Ultima, Wizardry, Goldbox games, thanks to my father and older siblings influencing me there.
