Surprising Stuff in Pokemon

You could probably ask that same question about Megahorn being a Bug-type move. Obviously, the move was Heracross's signature move back in the 2nd generation.
 
But Rollout isn't even a signature move, which makes it more odd.
 
That is rather odd.

Also, Gyarados is a Flying-type, and it can't learn any Flying-type moves.

Why is he even a Flying-type in the FIRST place?

Because back then Dragon-type sucked
 
And even then, they had Aerodactyl, Charizard, and Gyarados be called Dragon Pokemon.

If you want it to be called a Dragon Pokemon, MAKE THE DUMB POKEMON A DRAGON-TYPE!!!

No

Dragon-type was the worst type ever back then

Its move did a set damage which was 40 Hit Points

And Aerodactyl is based off of a Pterodactyl not a dragon
 
I know what Aerodactyl is freaking based off of!

But did you read the comics with Lance in them?
 
With Gyarados, they didn't make it Dragon-Type because it would've had no weaknesses except for Dragon, which the only move did 40 Hit Points.

Aerodactyl is a Fossil (Rock-Type) and can Fly (Flying-Type).

Charizard is the Fire Starter (Fire-Type) and can Fly (Flying-Type)

Just because they look like Dragon's or are called 'Dragon' Pokemon, doesn't mean they absolutely need to be Dragon-Type.
 
I KNOW THAT!


I'm just saying, why call a Pokemon a Dragon when it's NOT A DRAGON??
 
Because it is a Dragon. Just not a Dragon-type.

I don't remember Aerodactyl being called a Dragon, but it's sort of similar to one.
 
And also, why make Caterpie, Weedle, and Magikarp so *bleep*ing weak? It's not very nice...
 
Caterpie/Weedle: They are bugs, ever seen a worm? They wouldn't really stand much of a chance in a fight would they. Bug-Types usually start off weak and evolve fast.

Magikarp: It's based off a chinese story I think. Magikarp is the shitty fish that turns into a Chinese Dragon thing (Gyarados).
