Tell me, what do you think, why is Gyarados an undisputed dragon?
If you recall my statements for a while ago, about if dragons were real, IMO if they are still alive they would look a lot like Gyarados or even more like Milotic! |
Yes, serene. Milotic may be based on sirens, mermaids who attract seamen and lure them into the rocks, according to Greek mythology. This may be where the mermaid's tail and the somewhat seducive look comes from.
That leaves the shape of the head, the horn, and the manes and strings coming from his head to be the dragon factor! Of course, considering the serpentine body doesn't come from a sea serpent. If you're bringing up Gyarados, here's a nice Chinese myth for you. In China, there is a waterfall called the Dragon Gate. It is said that a carp who manages to swim up the waterfall will turn into a dragon. It is pretty much proven that Magikarp and Gyarados were based on that myth by episode 109 of the animé, The Wacky Watcher. I think the reason Gyarados is not Dragon-typed is that the makers of the original Pokémon games wanted the Dragon type to be exclusive to Dratini's evolutionary line. |
That's not a merimaid tail, cause merimaids according to legends had a normal fish tail! But if you look at the grater picture, milotic definetly looks like a sea dragon! You can't deny that!
|
A sea serpent is a extraordinarily big sea snake with a more dragonlike head. After some time of googling, I found no sea serpents with a head so beautiful as Milotic, but more vicious heads, perhaps most like Rayquaza or the basilisk from Harry Potter.
I think the head is going to be what's going to decide my opinion, ifnot the whole discussion. |
Well let's see, Milotic.....it is able to learn dragon type moves, but thats barely an argument, Milotic might be to beautifull to be a dragon and does bare a resembalence to sea snakes and eels, but if she was based on an Eel i think she'd be more...ugly doncha think?
so that leaves Dragon or sea snake.....hmmmm...... y'know i think i'll leave it to you lot to put up good arguments. |

And tell me if that snake-ish body, and a pretty head, and a serene apperance is what's making you think that Milotic isn't a Dragon, tell me please, what's Dragonair?
|
Dragonair is Dragon-typed, my friend.
Owned. |
Cause some suits in Gamefreak say so?!?!
Now that's a really intelligent arguement! Please name 3 greater differences in appearance between Dragonair and Milotic. just 3! |
The crystal under Dragonair's chin, the big black eyes and the wings on Dragonair's head. Yet, these features have nothing to do with dragons.
Does this remind you of Tyranitar and Ononokusu? Owned. |

No not really.
I could count Milotic as a dragon i think, lets see, i has no wings, but that's barely a factor, Milotic could be a sea dragon such as this one though: Pherhaps Gyrados AND Milotic are both based on this creature, if so, then Milotic is a dragon, i will try looking for a picture of a serene dragon such as Milotic to compare to. |
tkallab, stop using that word. I don't see how Dragonair looks more like a dragon than Milotic. shininglatios217 has a good point. However, I'd say Milotic would maybe haver been a better evolution for Dragonair with a different colour pallette. They look more alike than Dragonair and Dragonite.
|
Yeah your right, but when dragonair was invented they hadn't even thought of Milotic yet, otherwise they probably would have used that design to evolve dragonair.
|
That's probably correct. I'm just trying to say that Dragonite looks nothing at all like Dragonair.
|
The poit still remains, about 70% people here thinks that Tyranitar is a dinosaur, not a dragon, and only tkallab and a few more people think that Milotic is a sea serpent and nothing more!
What else connects Milotic to dragons? Just look at how rare it is, and what you have to do to get one! Dragons are rare, if not one of the rarest Pokemon in each region. If that's not enough, just check it's stats! |

http://www.unicorngarden.com/drag6.jpg Wait a second, I just got multi-ninja'd. Draggy, everyone who thinks Milotic is a dragon should be thinking he's a sea serpent. A sea serpent is a sea dragon. I just think he's an oarfish or an eel. |
That's just twisting your own and other people's words!
Sure, Gyarados is based on legendary Japanese sea dragon! Who sais that Milotic isn't? Sereously besides that serene head of it's you don't have a single reason to deny Milotic as a dragon! And not all POKEMON DRAGONS have ferocious head! |

Because he is such a powerhouse, he is unbelievable cool and his colour scheme is magnificent <33 I usually lead out with Salamence (when I get him xD) as he can knock out any Pokemon with just a couple of dragon dances :) |
Hm, i agree, let's add Milotic to the dragon's den now.
Ninja'd |
I didn't say that the serene head makes Milotic not a dragon. What makes Milotic not a dragon is, in my opinion, the same thing what makes Tyranitar not a dragon.
And Xilfer, there will be a vote about Milotic later, if I'm not mistaken. This is just a discussion, a way to try and convince others of your opinion. |
What, Milotic looks like a carnivourus dinosaur??
Aaah, you mean it's the same criteria between those two? Well you, my friend are wrong! |
And, uh, whats that?
25 char limit. Ninja'd |
...Later, people are gonna pm Amore whether they think Tyranitar and Milotic are dragons. The majority will get their way.
Draggy, what exactly about Milotic do you think makes him a dragon? Is it mostly the snake-like body, or the head with all its decorations? |
Spoiler:
THIS is what makes me think it's a dragon. I'm truely sorry for you if you can't see it! |
