Why is dragon type special? There's eighteen types, so why is it only a big deal when dragon gets an odd Pokemon?

I think they're trying to oversaturate the type so it's more of a common, every day type, so they have an excuse to tack Fairy onto everything.

This. Dragons used to be mostly psuedolegendaries and legendaries, but now it seems like gamefreak wants to normalize it with the other types instead of making it its own higher plane of existence. So now their solution is to just tackit on to random shit. Like pretty much any reptile they feel like. And more

Because dragon is just another type. It's not some super special mega strong snowflake type, you autist.

>>a flying flame-breathing reptile is not a Dragon type

Well, not literally everything, you said so yourself.

> Implying dragons have to be scaly reptiles

The Pokemon world doesn't give a fuck what you think. If Growlithe is a fire type because it breathes fire and is weak to water, a turtle is a dragon type because it breathes dragons and is weak to fairy.

Here you go. Look at that turtle and tell me which part of it dragons. That tree too. That duck in a cloud too.

The parts that get STAB for using Dragon attacks.

Exeggutor's long ass neck is dinosaurish. It's fucking huge, like the king of trees, i.e., dragon type.

Altaria is based on a dragon that youre not familiar with plain and simple.
>a turtle that explodes isnt a dragon type
>people dont call Bowser a dragon

How would everyone here define Dragon type so that it fits all existing Pokemon with it? What traits do they ALL share?

>>27964271
they aren't humanoids

>>27964087
okay by that logic ghost would also be one of the super snowflake types

These are contradictory statements
