My Gen III Dragon all-star team, I had planned it out and trained the Pokemon, but my dad lost his GBA and thus the trades to actually put the team together never happened, although all the members were ready to go. I have fairly easy requirements about what I consider Dragons. I love Dragons as a whole, I collect them, and one of my fondest/terrifying moments as a kid was watching Lance's {{p|Dragonite}} sweep my entire team on Yellow. So Dragon-types have made an impression on me since Game 1. | My Gen III Dragon all-star team, I had planned it out and trained the Pokemon, but my dad lost his GBA and thus the trades to actually put the team together never happened, although all the members were ready to go.

I remember being pleasantly surprised with {{p|Sceptile}}. I'd come to expect a lot of things from Grass-types by Gen II - low speed, lousy move pool, general uselessness. But I never expected a Grass-type Dragon, much less one as strong as Sceptile. It remains a favorite of mine, although {{p| | I remember being pleasantly surprised with {{p|Sceptile}}.

It remains a favorite of mine, although {{p|Grovyle}} looks cooler. At the time I didn't have any experience raising {{p|Milotic}}, but now that I've recently got one and seen what it can do, it would take the place of {{p|Gyarados}} should I remake the team some time. | ||
In the end, {{p|Altaria}} ended up taking the crown for disappointment. I was surprised when my sweet little {{p|Swablu}} became a mighty Dragon - with a limited movepool offset only by TMs, low speed and high defense. In other words, IMO Altaria is what a Dragon Pokemon should "not" be, and it was quickly kicked off the team to make way for another Dragon, one that ended up usurping the title of Team Leader from {{p|Flygon}}. It took me a while to figure out the little head-busting scamp could only be found in one room in [[Meteor Falls]], but it was worth the bother... | In the end, {{p|Altaria}} ended up taking the crown for disappointment.
