Well there isn't really an established SPACE type is there? Water is probably to draw a parallel to Space being like a Sea of Stars and Planets or something.
For Flygon, they just wanted to do something different. They made a Dragonfly-like Pokemon an actual Dragon. Drapion is a bigger offender, since it outright loses its Bug type.

Good to know that Zekrom is actually normal / dragon and Reshiram dark / dragon

>>27909316 DRANGONFLY =/= ANTLION
Also, true I forgot to include drapion

>>27909375
Well yeah, antlions aren't the same, but they're similar enough. I mean its name is Flygon in both English and Japanese, it seems to be what they were going for.

>>27909279
Flygon ruins the line.

>>27909279
Off-topic but I'm still mad Trapinch didn't get a more fitting evo. It's a fucking Tremor, why would it evolve into a dragonfly?

>>27909375
The pokemon has literally got pearls in his body, faggot.

>>27909316
Palkia is water because he's the pearl legendary. Pearls come from mollusks.

Dialga is steel because he's the diamond legendary. Diamonds are a very hard mineral.

>Dragon/Water because time flows like a river

Flygon looks nothing like their Pokemon before it. It looks crap in general. Vibrava is one of my favourite Pokemon but then Flygon ruins it.

That's because you have a severe case of shit taste

Flygon is awkward and ugly.

Because real life.

Pretty much this
And also Lovecraftian lore says that Sea and Space are similar things

> Legendary pokemon which controls the space
> Dragon/ WATER.

The Sinnoh Trio also represents matter. Dialga being a Solid, Palkia being a Liquid and Giratina being a Gas. That's why they have the typing they have.

Dialga is steel because of the set-in-stone, unbreakable flow of time

Palkia is water because of the malleability and variability of space

Giratina is ghost because they wanted him to be edgy and cool

>>27910498
dialga is steel because clocks are steel
palkia is water because space is an ocean
giratina is ghost because its the only thing thaat made sense

>>27910472
I never thought about this
Thanks anon
