>a cloud that dragons
>>26190624
I find that so stupid, why would they make this thing that way? And considering altaria, a fucking cloud bird is mainly dragon, this is inexcusable
>>26190670
>noivern
>flying/dragon type
>implying he's primarily a cloud
>>26190660
because altaria is actually a dragon that clouds
>>26190699
A bat that dragons?
>>26190700
How the fuck is that thing a dragon?! Its a fucking ostrich with clouds for wings
>a rock that barks
>>26190699
How the fuck is drifblim a dragon
I know we're just memeing about that one guy, but primary Flying and secondary Dragon make sense if you think about it. It's much more of a wind elemental than the average birdmon since it also uses echolocation. And it's not very draconic since it starts as a fucking bat and nerds always debate whether wyverns are "real" dragons or not. So it's a "wind elemental animal that's sort of dragon-like."

Drifblim is a ghost that flies.Shame it's not a fly that ghosts.
>>26190750
He meant having flying as the primary type, learn to read. He's a fucking balloon
It's a sword that ate the elephant fruit and can now turn into an elephant.

Japanese wordplay, its Japan name is Tyltalis, now remember that name and look at these

If a wyvern is not a dragon what is it?
>>26190759
sound isn't really flying type tho
with that said it learns a lot of flying moves naturally compared to dragon moves
>>26190778
Holy shit, this even explains the fairy type when mega evolving, thanks anon
>>26190782
According to some people
6 limbs = true dragons
4 limbs = wyverns
>>26190792
Seriously though blame localization. Why they change to Altaria when Tyltalis is a perfectly serviceable name?
>>26190799
You probably don't have the answer but by that definition what are 4 winged "dragons" then? Are they not dragons?
>>26190778
Oh fug. How have I never seen this mentioned when people say Altaria shouldn't be Dragon type?
>>26190836
>>26190792
also the anime debut of Swablu/Altaria also featured the plot of the play
so yeah it's one of those "lost in translation" things
seems like Altaria has some connection (Altais - or Delta Draco), but I feel Tyltalis is stronger because it also references the Blue Bird.
