As a bullied kid that back then just wanted a cool dragon, I protest that insinuation!

He said "cool" dragon. Which is gyarados

Oof. No wings or limbs, evolved from magikarp. I think you need to reassess cool dragons.

They are a cool fish monster tho.

SpoilerI am aware and mostly shitposting but I want to thank you for your effort to educate me. People like you are good for the internet. Now back to shit posting.

So Gyro taste like sushi?

The heavens will punish you in time, blasphemer 😤

For double smite ima eat gyrodos sushi off of a Pokémon trainer’s naked body in an underground club.

Evolving from Magikarp makes him objectively the coolest dragon. Started from the bottom now we're here.

The lack of actual Dragon typing does sting, though.

They'd have been so good as water/dragon Q_Q

Gyrados is the Drake of dragons.

Nah, in my head he's a chinese dragon.

Fun fact: When choosing my starter for the first time, all I knew about Pokémon was: "It's a game I saw someone play at school once and it kind of looked like an RPG and I love those!" I genuinely just went with what looked cool to me and had no idea there were "actual" dragon Pokémon.

Also +1 on [email protected] noting, that Gyarados is the cool dragon in Gen1

Haha. My story is similar I wasn’t super early to Pokémon but I had a deep love of early final fantasy games so I jumped right to it on gameboy. I was the perfect age.

I don’t remember who my original starter was. It could have very likely been Charmander, I know bulbs is the one that I’ve used on every subsequent play through of gen 1

Pretty much the exact same story here, only my obsession was more with PC-DOS RPGs like Ultima, Wizardry, Goldbox games, thanks to my father and older siblings influencing me there.

Gyarados has never been a dragon type
