That flies with no wings or proportionately small wings, and/or can produce and project fire from its mouth. Or ice, or lightning, or something like that. 5. A small version of a dragon. . Why am I right? Words have meaning. If you use a word without the meaning, well, that's where meaningless comes from. But what is meaning?

I can see Magikarp's split happening one of two ways; Affection, and Move-based. Imagine if, when Magikarp hit the threshold, you had high affection with it or taught it the move Return. You didn't just throw Magikarp to the wolves to learn how to swim on its own; you HELPED it, but not in a way that babies it. You supported it, made it believe in itself. So it had all the hard knocks from leveling up, but also had you to help guide its pent-up aggression in a productive way and take care of it so it didn't stew in its malice.

If you ever played pokemon expert emerald, they changed gyarados to water dragon type. Its a modded version of emerald version with increased difficulty, all 386 pokemon (up to that gen) and a few moveset, stat and type changes that make the game a little more logical and challenging

The idea of Gyarados being a sea dragon that feel from grace for abusing it's power is a really cool idea. For me personally, I never saw Aerodactyl as a dragon is the prehistoric animal that it is based off of is a flying reptile. Also, while I used to consider Charizard a dragon, now I see it more as a Salamander from myth which is know for breathing fire and can sometimes fly but is ultimately not a true dragon.

Did you think of a new video idea next episode what killed the dinosaurs in the Pokémon world.

I like the idea of Gyarados being pure Dragon and with the introduction of gen2 onward, having Dark-type tacked on as a secondary type.

I would like to see three starter pokemon that would evolve into dragon types in their final stage. They would still beat each other’s type since dragons are strong against dragons.

Magicarp split evolution would be awesome. Maybe reaching evolution level with max happiness and holding dragon scale. I'd make it focus on special attack rather than physical attack. Maybe a custom special ability that boosts not only his dragon moves but all the dragon attacks in the party. Something like "Dragon's Aura". Make it water/dragon to remove the ice weakness. Make it the most dragon dragon. Naturally learns all the dragon attacks. It can be really cool
