Genuinely my only issue with Dragonite is the big change in its shiny. I wish it stayed that gorgeous pink so I could have a big pink chubby cuddly dragon
When folks say Gyarados and Dragonite should swap places... like I see why they might think that, but how would you go from pretty, ethereal dragon snakes to the Atrocious Pokemon???
when I found out people openly despise dragonite I was genuinely so confused???? i think it's more interesting it doesn't look like its previous evolutions entirely, it does somewhat mirror real animal evolution.
My friend, I hope you can help as much as possible.♥️
Don't be one of the bad guys who attack us that my friend Molly talked about.
My wife Samar and I need you.🫂🙏🏻
I remeber someone saying that Dragonite and Gyarados look like they should have swapped prevo's and I won't lie, I see it, but ALL of those 5 pokemon are so great tbh. I love the Dragonite line and I will never hear slander for my boy
Reminds me that I used to own a dratini plushie when I was like 14. I'd have it sing a silly song to my little sister "♪tini-tini dratini tini-tini draaaa-TI-ni♪"
Dragonite's my best friend's favorite pokemon. Has been since he was but a lad. I nab him every dragonite trinket I find and show him every dragonite loving post I come across. He was genuinely confused to learn that people dislike dragonite that much.
🟣i always say i can't hate a single pokemon because every single one is someone out there's favorite. maractus is someone's favorite. kelfki is someone's favorite. i can't hate
Yeah, I never understood the thrown towards dragonite either. Like, is a cute dragon (actually, the entire dratini line is cute ngl), packs quite a punch, and is not a bad mon.
(actually, I never really understood the hate thrown towards MOST pokemon...)
Also, Pokemon evolutions are more along the lines of metamorphosis than irl evolution, which explains why so many Pokemon can have such drastic changes when they evolve.
Plus, Satoshi Tajiri loved bugs as a kid, so logically speaking, it just makes sense he had Pokemon evolution be closer to metamorphosis, a process that's only really performed by insects, than actual evolution.
The trio is very good, I just feel they don't belong together? I think it'd make more sense as a duo and one that has no evolution line. It's a bit jarring that we go from elegant noodle to Kraft macaroni dino with wings. That's how I've always seen it since I was a kid. 😅
Agreed; it makes sense in the same way a tadpole loses its tail and develops legs as it grows into a frog.
Drsgonite is one of the greatest things to come from Gen I; to have Dragonair evolve into a Milotic-like serpent would've made the evolutionary line less memorable.
it's like the trend of quadruped pokemon suddenly standing on twos in their final evolution. People just wanted a lil snake that turned into a big snake
Dragonite has always seemed like one of the most beloved Pokémon. I had no clue there were people that hated it. I prefer Dragonair over it, but the line makes sense when you realize they’re based on the myth of a snake becoming a dragon.
Dragonite line is great
I like how they they're both cool and cute all the way through the evolution
I thinks my favorite psuedo-legend is still metagross still, its just too cool conceptually

If Charizard isn’t a dragon, no one gets to be

it is heartwarming that out of the many thousand, there is someone loving them, even the unpopular ones.
