The Dragon's Roost (A dragon type clan)

I think Charizard isn’t a dragon type because it evolves from charmander, which is one of the Kantonian starters, and having a dragon type starter would be unfair, since they are so powerful.

That makes alot of sence actually

That... actually makes quite a bit of sense like GalactÎcGlacÎfur was saying. Although here comes a slightly more confusing question: why can it still learn dragon type moves? I know in gen 1, it only learned Dragon Rage through TM (which, for those who don't know, only deals exactly 40 damage to the target), but in later generations, it is able to learn other dragon type moves both through level-up and TMs. I guess I am looking into this a bit to deeply, but I guess it still confuses me a bit as to why if an actual dragon type starter is considered too powerful, then why can it learn dragon type moves? I guess this could also apply to other Pokemon too and not just Charizard, that, and Charizard normally isn't easily obtainable in the early parts of some games anyway, so I guess I can't complain too much. Although this just kind of made me think of my fan region where everything is at least part dragon type, including the starters. Maybe just the discussion of dragon types Also, @GalactÎcGlacÎfur, I don't see you in the registry? I don't think you're part of the clan, but if you did post a form that I missed, feel free to tell me!

Well, recently I’ve been kind of in between on this argument. Why I think it should be a dragon type is because it breathes fire, (technically) looks, and acts like a dragon. It really is the very oversimplified definition of a dragon. But then again, like already said, it would be a bit overpowered for a starter. But also! Blastoise is water, and if Charizard was a fire-dragon type, then Blastoise would only do neutral attacks to Charizard, unless it got changed to a water-fairy or water-ice type. Not dragon because then it’d mess it up with Venusaur, and still mess it up with Charizard. BECAUSE! Venusaur is grass-poison, (although I don’t know much about the poison type, so there might be more problems because of that) so if Blastoise was water-ice, ice is super effective against grass, so type triangle gets messed up. Water-fairy doesn’t mess up the types, but it messes with the way Blastoise looks. Water-dragon makes Charizard super effective against Blastoise, because dragon is super effective against dragon. Besides, then that’d mess up Venusaur type stuff because grass isn’t very effective against dragon. Ice makes more sense than fairy, because Blastoise looks like it’d be definitely not a fairy type. And still, nothing of Blastoise resembles ice-type. So therefore, if Charizard was a dragon type, it’d mess up a lot of stuff. Also, sorry for the wall of text! ^^;

That makes quite a bit of sense as well! Dragon-type Charizard would definitely mess up the type triangle on a whole other level when trying to balance it back out.

Yeah, I agree with that. But it could be fixed with Venusaur's poison type being replaced by fighting or rock type. But those don't really fit it.
