    Magikarp evolves into Gyrados, Dragonair evolves into Dragonite, I don't really see why it should be otherwise, but that's just me.

      He is refering to just the models used for dragonite vs gyarados.
      In the story the golden koi turns into a golden dragon, but a golden magikarp he turns into a blue "dragon". The blue dratini/dragonair turns into a golden dragon. The color pallets don't really fit.
      If you only swap what they look like (keep names/stats/moves/etc), the current serpentine gyarados looks like a beefed up serpentine draginair and the current dragonite looks like a fat magikarp turned into a fat dragon.

I'm always in bed by 11 PM, and I make it a point to get no less than eight hours of sleep each night. Before bed, I drink a warm glass of milk. It's always coupled with twenty minutes of stretching to decompress from the long work day. Sweet dreams are the usual result of this. I then awake as refreshed and recharged as a newborn child, ready to take on the day's challenges. And after my last checkup, I was given a clean bill of health. For as long as I can remember, I've done everything in my power to live a productive life that allows me to pursue a lasting inner peace.

    The only reason why Gyarados isn’t water/dragon is because in gen 1 having a water/dragon type with great attack, good speed, decent bulk, and good move pool (not to mention these were the pre special attack/ special defense split days) would be way too overpowered. W/ the only other dragon type being the dratini line, literally it’s only check would’ve been dragonite. Seeing as how you can get magikarp relatively early in the game, having that type of overpowered monster would’ve broken the game, even more broken than it was that is lol

    So I've done some research (tbh just watch Lockstin and Gnoggin's videos) and I know why Gyarados is water/flying and not water/dragon or dragon/flying, is because in Chinese folklore, kois who turned into dragons must keep their honor and defend everything in the land. If the dragon thinks of nothing but destruction and carnage, the Gods reduce their ranks down to nothing but a giant sea serpent. And guess what, in the Pokedex, Gyarados's mind is so full of violent nature, that one rage last for a month. So yeah, Gyarados is just a giant sea serpent because the Gods, in this case Arceus, reduce it's rank to a giant sea serpent than a dragon

      Perhaps, gyarados resembles an eastern dragon while dragonite resembles a western one. The koi tale originates from the east, but the colour scheming for dragonite is closer to magikarp, and appearances for gyarados is more similar to dratini.

    Magikarp and Garados are a game mechanics way of teaching Patience. In Gen one and any time a newbie gets it's a weak pokemon but through perceverience and time ( as the mechanic of evolution through experience shows) you will evolve and it's a payoff that is really good. Also by level 20 or so you get surf anyway so if you don't have a Lapras, Garados is your surf user on the team.

But beside that, its also a flyer becauce its wings. So its unusual to give him dragon type when he needs to be a flying type to becauce it should fly. Altara is a pure fly type but beside that u can't think of a 2 typing, beside dragon. I think thats the real reason why charizard is just Fire / Flying and altaria Flying / dragon.

    Originally (in gen1), gyarados was part water part dragon. So were charizard and aerodactyl instead of flying. But after the detailed tests it was pretty obvious how OP those would be. I mean you wouldn't even hesitate not to pick Charmander as starter. But gyarados would be way too op with these stats and no weakness. they also wanted to have a unique dragon to stand out, yet not to make it so unbalanced (reason dragonite is part flying).

    The myth you told us about reminds me of the episode from Pokemon: Orange Islands, EP109, "The Wacky Watcher." Remember when the Magikarp swam upstream and up the waterfall and evolved into a Gyarados? Kind of like that.
