Welcome in the club dooght!
Seriously. Salamence. When I was playing Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, I was like, when can I get this Pokémon called Bagon. I really want this cute Pokémon. I had only the first entry of its evolution.
And its Pokédex entry says it is dreaming about flying. Because it is cute and its dream so cute, I would love to make its wish true!
When I get this Salamence, I cried, yeah, I cried, I was so happy for my pixel Bagon T-T
(I was very young)
Till then, I think the same thing. Salamence would be a symbol for Dragon. Because all the hope of Dragon, in mythology, it is a true honor for a Dragon to make it fly one day. So it is an achievement for Bagon to fly.
It is more a feeling for me to make Salamence a perfect dragon! Forgive me D:
