Why did nintendo make them so similar and why is their resemblance to each other so barely talked about?

why did nintendo make them so similar and why is their resemblance to each other so barely talked about?

Because only Lance used them in the original games where they looked quite different in Sprite work

they pre-empted the virgin/chad meme

because dragonite is a fat retarded noodle dragon and all dragonitefags should be shot on sight

They're both great.

>muh reductionism

Fuck off you retarded piece of shit.

TPBP

Dragonite is the true Chad here prior to gen 6

I disagree but of course you are welcome to have that opinion, I don't actually want you to get shot user

On your left - Chad
On your right - Beta

Its the perfect pokemon for a soyboy

Charmeleon's original back sprite bears a strange ressemblance to Dragonite. Makes you wonder if Charizard and Dragonite were only one Pokemon at one point in development before being split up.

It's almost as if gen 1 designs were as lazy as the rest.

...

Dragonite is hotter :3

make way for the one and only true chad dragon

This. Salamence is the king of dragons.

The artist really had a fetish for fatass dinosaurs.
Probably jerks off thinking about rubbing their tummies.

Oh shit, rebels. Better call the empire.

I don't know what the fuck you just posted but oyu got a bewildered chuckle out of me

Fucking kek, genwunner is rightwunner

>implying Hydreigon isn't /ourdragon/

>tfw you can catch one at level 10 early in SM

...

Because Ken Sugimori is a creatively bankrupt hack and hates drawing.

dragonite was meant to be a charizard with down syndrome.

>literal hydra gets beaten up by fucking fairies

Gen 6 and fairy type was a mistake,and everyone who disagrees is a faggot

I agree.

Fairy type made Gardevoir better so I'm pretty happy.
It's not like Fire is going to make me stop using Scizor, my favourite pokemon.

>It's not like Fire is going to make me stop using Scizor, my favourite pokemon.

That's Scizor's one weakness, and he has a fuckton of resistances. Hydreigon, meanwhile, already had 4 weaknesses before fairy type gave him a 4x weakness on top of it.

at least they can simply slap the typing to any cutemon and instantly make it better

grass/fairy lilligant when

Here we go
I honestly don't understand why anyone would even think to defend gen 2+ designs. It's fucking terrible. This image is close to the truth, too close.

>implying that's good

why did it evolve beyond the kneed for limbs that bend in the middle?

Gen 2's designs closely fitted the mold of gen 1's. A good chunk of it's roster was originally supposed to be a part of gen 1.

Why the fuck did Dark need a third weakness? Fighting and Dragon I get (though you can't justify Fight's weakness to Fairy thematically), but Dark never hurt anybody except those horrid Psychic lovers

mega evolutions sacrifice useful evolutionary traits for power, most mega evolution pokedex entries will talk about the pokemon being in pain

probably people being mad about umbreon

Dragonite looks like it could've evolved from Charmander. It looks much closer to Charmander than it does Dratini and Dragonair.

I like Dragonite but I wish Dragonair had a Water/Dragon evolution instead that kept its coloring and incorporated that jewel thing under its chin and on its tail.

Something elegant kinda like my pic but smaller and with a pair of wings.

if im not mistaken it was because charizard was originally going to be a dragon type but they didn't want to make a starter that good so they conceived dragonite instead

Yeah, he kinda fucked up with Goodra, looking at its middle form. Thankfully he wasn't the only designer in Gen I. Though the Nidos, Kangaskhan and Rhydon are jarring (He didn't design them, Tajiri designed Rhydon at least).

Body shape-wise, not necessarily the design with all the treasure and stuff on him.

>tfw they nerfed steel's resistances because they wanted their dumb sword to be OP without being mega OP

Charizard and Dragonite were originally supposed to be male/female.

>nintendo
It was Game Freak, not Nintendo.

Steel got nerfed because people were whining about a defensive-type having multiple resistances. Now everyone wants Pre-Gen VI Steel back. Same with evos being curved in favor of megas. They made their beds, now sleep in it.

game freak should've removed steel's resistence to grass and bug which will still be resisted by 6 other types, not to dark and ghost which are now spammable types

I've always been convinced that Dragonair was originally meant to evolve into Gyarados but GF's typical retardation led to this not being the case.

I wish I had that concept art of Dragonair with back ridges, confirming it was supposed to be different from Dragonite. Another piece had Weedle evolve into a cartoon-like beetle with gloves, legs and feet.

Gyarados is based on an Eastern fable about a god that will grants a wish to a carp that's able to swim up a waterfall. The carp wishes to be a dragon, and when the god turns it into a dragon the first thing it does is obliterate a human village.
Because of that, the god took away its dragon powers, but left its dragon form. That's why its alluded that Gyarados rage destroyed a village in various places.

How does Dragonair evolve into a fat dragon with retard face?

...

Why is this cat so sexy?

I have no clue. It makes no sense to me.

There is only one Chad Dragon, and it isn't that faggot you posted.

/thread

*ice beams you*

This to be honest

Rhydon was one of his favorite and first designs.

I would be very happy with a regional dragonite that staid snake-y

dragonite is a reference to another legend where a snake eats a magic orb and turns into a dragon.

*holds a Yache Berry*

dragonite haters OUT

I fucking love Rhyhorn and Rhydon.

They truly saved the best for first.

What do you think Dragonite's feet smell like? I fantasize like hot bubble gum.

what about Rhyperior?

Looks like shit. A mistake

Rhyperior? What's that? Some new pokemon? Never heard of it, I'm sure I would remember if one of my favourite pokemon had a new evolution, but sadly it most certainly does not.

>actually using those meme berries

>has never played VGC

g

>2007
>hey wanna give a bunch of Gen 1 two stage Pokémon a second evolution?
> ok cool, but let’s make all of them ugly and fat

charizard isn't even in the same league as dragonite

the gen 4 evos were a mistake

roserade and gliscor are alright tho

Electivire isn't bad. I appreciate it looks less fat than Electabuzz. It can also have some insane coverage.

Blame the ashime for coloring him wrong (As usual)

Not all Gen IV new evos are bad. Such things like Rhyperior, Magmortar and Lickilicky are ugly as a sin, but Magnezone, Mismagius , Gliscor ard Mamoswine are some of my favorite pokemons.

>Make a really cool male design for a pokemon that has a very feminine natural evolution.
>Give it retarded UFO hips ruining the entire thing.
>Have another chance to fix the design when Megas get introduced.
>Don't even touch the fucking ufo hips.
I'll never forgive them.

Honchkrow is great.

do you like me Sup Forums?

>A literal Jewmon
What the fuck were they thinking?

Goddamn I love Honchkrow

yeah he's actually better.

Unironically looks better as a 3D model than the sprite version for some odd reason.

I love Drud

Lots of the original Pokemon looked related, especially the reptilian ones

Magnezone is awesome, fuck you.

Which Pokegirl would you go on a journey with?

Am I gay for wanting to fuck dragonite? Also why is there no porn of this?

yes

...

except for like 5, most of them are pretty awesome

They are samurai, they don't have to fear

The porygon line has GOAT designs

>simple 3D representation of a duck
>upgrade gives the 3D representation of a duck more polygons, making it smoother
>dubious disc has a virus and shit gets fucked

Some I'm just neutral on, but I couldn't find a "~" sign in my shapes tool

Magmortar and Jewpass are pretty fucking great.

Electivire is fine
And Yanmega is fucking amazing, thats unarguable
