>Vibrava on a dragonfly

Antlion desu

>>33360854

still more consistent than fairy

>>33361402
Vibrava is based on the adult stage of an antlion. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Vibrava could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's type combination

>>33361362
>Vibrava on a dragonfly

I fucking swear idiots will never get this through their heads. Vibrava isn't a dragonfly and mega yanmega will never be dragon type because THE JAPANESE WORD FOR DRAGONFLY IS TONBO NOT "RYUFLY" THE PUN ONLY WORKS IN ENGLISH AND IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, AS FAR AS JAPS KNOW THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN DRAGONS AND DRAGONFLIES

It's almost like Japanese people aren't completely ignorant of foreign languages or something, Also, you seem to be defending Vibrava being a Dragon-type because it's not a dragonfly, but by your own logic it still shouldn't be Dragon-type because the insect it's based on has as much connection to dragons in the Japanese languages as dragonflies do. Great argument fagtron.

But then who thought it was a good idea to make executor a dragon

>>33361442
Literally copypasta'd from Bulbapedo

>>33360854
You seem to be mistaken. The ones on the left are Dragon TYPE. The ones on the right are not. Charizard is a Dragon. He is not a Dragon Type Dragon.

>>33360891
Well, actually it was
>Draw a weird dragon
>Give it a dog form
>Don't change it's type because Type =! Species

Maybe it's like Monster Hunter where Dragon type is an element and not a creature type, something like dragon energy being energy of the planet? That'd explain Zygarde.

>>33362004
Why would it be? Bug egg group doesn't necessarily mean you need the Bug elemental type, same with Dragon.

>Ant becomes literal dragonfly
I don't think the ground typing is bad or unfitting but Flygon could have been the breakout Dragon Bug.

>>33362033
Flygon' design works perfectly as Bug/Dragon, plus it would make it more unique.

>Charizard
Oh boy, there he is, there he goes again

>>33362094
It doesn't look like an ant or a dragonfly...

>>33361930
This is exactly what it's like.

Types are elements, not physical descriptions. Charizard is a dragon biologically, but not a Dragon type elementally. Types are not a description of it's physical characteristics, only what it can wield practically.

Sceptiles a Grass type, not "a grass".

>they didn't make the Dragonfly Pokemon a Bug/Dragon type

>>33361764
Your point?
>>33362137
Its based on antlions

>Dragon type = it is a dragon
>Fairy type = it is a fairy
>Water type = it is a water

>>33362094
It was the breakout Ground/Dragon in Gen III, which is far more befitting the concept (ie "Spirit of the Desert")

>>33362098
It's pretty unique as is imo, it only shares its typing with a Pseudo and a Legendary.

>>33362164
Type isn't species.

>>33362169
If you were going to use BP you might as well have linked the Origin of Species article about the Trapinch line, it provides a far better explanation as to why the Dragon typing makes sense for Vibrava/Flygon.

Kill yourself, retard. Why the fuck do we need types, then? Dragon and Bug are what I call "species types". They're supposed to refer to a pokémon's animal appearance. Having dragon-based Pokémon not being Dragon-type is just retarded, just like your fucking "logic".

>>33364614
>pretty much every Bug type is a bug

lol so you mean not all are bugs? So then, that would mean that its not an accurate description of the physical characteristics.
If what you said was true, then Sceptile would be a grass.

Is Sceptile a Grass? No. So that must mean that your logic is literally gimped by a simple check of the dex.

Do some types line up with their physical descriptions? Yes. But not all. Therefore it's not a physical description. This is literally 1st grade logic and reasoning capabilities.

Moron.

>>33361448
They've already done a type change based off a dumb pun that doesn't work in most languages, what's stopping them from doing it again for their biggest market? Besides, Bug/Flying is ass outside of Mega Pinsir. A fresh type combo would go a long way for a theoretical Mega Yanmega, the only problem is finding something that fits. There's a widely-spoken language that gives an out, why not take it?

Do you see where you fucked up yet anon?

>>33368242
Yes, but dragons are fictional characters with a pretty massive lore behind them, if you want to use the word "dragon" you gonna consider at least some of it. Otherwise you can just name it "Monster type" or "Mythic type" or something.

>>33361659
Because they really wanted to make it 4x weak to ice so nobody would use it

You're not considering that western Dragons are only one small piece of the mythology, and that what defines a "dragon" varies greatly between different cultures.

pokemon like kingdra and dragalge are based on sea dragons, vibrava is based on one of the many stages of an antlion, an insect often mistaken with a dragonfly that also served as inspiration for flygon's name, goodra's line was inspired by a sea slug, also known as blue dragon, exeggutor is based on a hawaiian dragon tree, while noibat and it's evo are dragon/bat hybrids, the original zygarde form (50%)is inspired by a naga dragon, the rest just carry the type because of reasons, dragons aren't real, they merely base pokemon dragons on the "real" dragons of this world.
